I love the Fed IV!!
The "bad penny" is back :) Thanks my lid brethren for the emails and posts wondering about me. Been laying low. As Mr. Paladin stated, it was, indeed, my health. I have had congestive heart failure for about 8-9 years now. Once in awhile it raises it's ugly head and I get wiped out... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Roninjedi, I'd like to welcome you to the Fedora Lounge. What a great choice that Fed on your head is :eusa_clap Yesterday, I wore my Fed IV Heritage Fawn. But today, it was a bit warmer (close to 90F) and I took my pair of beagles out for a swim in a nearby creek and to run around the... -
Who looks the most dapper in a modern hat?
Plastic, though being around since 1855, is a modern hat material. This is what the younger generation of leprechauns wear given the wet weather. And when I wear my Akburas, while perhaps not "dapper", I have noted that no one tries to take my milk money at recess. [ -
The Black Hat Brigade
. . . . . Hampton, Homburg, Bogart, Fed IV, Fed IV, Barmah Thread reminded me of a guy a few months ago that said “my dad told me to never trust a man in a black hat”. My reply, “my dad told me to never talk to strangers”. Think I posted the same in the “comments” thread. But, what... -
I love the Fed IV!!
Thank you MemphisLawyer.... The Hampton is 4.25" at the front and 4.0" at the rear. My Federations are 4.25" at the front and 3.75" at the rear. I do not have a Stylemaster. My noggin seems to do better in non-taper. So, what did you end up deciding upon? -

the face of evil
Last night, my daughter, fourth year university, said she saw a plaid fedroa she liked. Immediately thought of this thead and Blackthorn since my kid lives out his way and may have seen of "one of those" :eek: :eusa_doh: I promptly gave her my first Akubra Hampton (ordered too small for... -
Preview of Paul's Hats
You bet on the invitation compliment. Very cool. As for the Straw Homburg, PM sent. Sparing details here so as not to detract from the thread topic. -

Somewhat liking that camo patterned in the back of the pic. So, which color did you get BT? -
Help a guy out - what's a good Akubra?
Thank you E.T., That was my first Federation. The Dark Brown Deluxe. Still in The Goose Trinity, indeed. As much as I like the Carbon, I migrate to that Dark Brown more than any other of all six shades in my Fed IV Fleet. Triple F, my quest now is for a straw Homburg...I've seen one... -

Summer Hat In Winter?
If it makes you happy It can't be that bad If it makes you happy Then why the hell are you so sad? "I wear what I want, when I want." Ditto. But my mom dresses me funny. Worn Panama hats in the rain in Hawai'i and today, being summer, I wore my Federation IV Carbon. But, it never... -
Help a guy out - what's a good Akubra?
Three of my favorite hats are Akubra lids. Two of those three are Federation IV's. And, they happen to be the Dark Brown and Moonstone. Someday, when I get over my thin ribbon complex, I may order a Campdraft...until then; I'd put Fed on my head. -
Hawaiian shirts and fedoras
Hey! We don't knock your Vegemite, beetroot on burgers, piefloaters, or Skippy Meat...so lay off our shirts...especially since many we wear are worn with lids from Down Under ;) lol Well, maybe some shirts should be banned. Here's my contender with an AKUBRA: -

Convertible Homburg?
I don't have a bowler. And the Akubra is sold, open crown, as a "Homburg". Not having a bowler, I cannot speak to the rigidity of such. So, in line with what dhermann1 typed, I would get a bowler if you want a bowler. And, a Homburg if you want a Homburg. No one here is going to talk you... -
Convertible Homburg?
My Akubra Homburg has no problem going back and forth. I wear it as a Homburg. But it has no problem at all trying to back to the dome it was shipped as. Stubborn bunny fur ;) . . . Your mileage may vary. Objects in mirror are closer than they appear. Don't run with scissors. -
Appropriate times to wear a fedora
Yep. And that would include me. A Homburg or Top. So, for me, a Homburg. While I wear a fedora even when I dress down, I wouldn't wear a fedora with a tuxedo. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Tonight, after some pasta crud for dinner with NO meat, I decided it was time for a snack. Still hungry at 10:30PM Pacific. Put on my Federation IV Carbon and hit the grill with a couple of Schwan's Corn Dogs. Wife didn't say a word. Just looked at me kine gooofy. Hmmm...nothing seems to... -
Head geometry and its relationship to gravity and haberdasheries
Always thought you were a bit on the knotty side :) Sometimes one ear is lower than the other. My barber will tell ya that about me. But, in Gene's case, he's just knotty :p lol
