    Do you see your Indy hats as "formal" or "casual" hats?

    I have the indy brown Fed IV and I wear it casualy and to the office. I dress a bit more casually then you, no suits just button up shirts and sweaters in the winter and polos in the summer. Infact I wore it to the bar last night.

    Custom hat or Akubra?

    thanks Jabos, I appreciate that. I'm just saving my pennies and waiting "patiently"

    My first bashjob

    Looks to me like you did a bang up job. If you can do these two then you should have no problems with the Fed when it arrives. Mine dry bashed no problem.

    Custom hat or Akubra?

    I agree. If you don't mind I'd like to see what the whole process is like too

    Custom hat or Akubra?

    Ok, so let me toss this question out to the crowd. Is there a custom hat you would be willing to use as an all-weather anytime hat?

    Custom hat or Akubra?

    To be honest, I've been kicking something like this around lately. I really want a custom hat but I don't want to pay all that and not wear it. I'm thinking of getting one and wearing it as my "beater" hat, with the exception of actual outdoor work (shoveling or mowing the lawn) and probably...

    Hat for a Job Interview?

    My guess is that it depends on who is interviewing you. Someone younger might, IMO, pass on you just because of the hat (I've seen my co-workers pass on new highers for less than that) but if you are interviewing with someone a little older they may find it refreshing or endearing. It...

    self-concious in my fedora

    Back in college I wore a kangol wool porkpie. The hat would, after a while, start to smell and become stiff from sweat. Being new to the college town I didn't want to just take it anywhere so I stopped wearing it until I could get home to visit the cleaner. After the second day not wearing it...

    Akubra Overload

    I love the moonstone, fantastic color. I can't wait to see your bash. I needed the foam strips for about 2 weeks, now the hat fits nicely without them. Another couple weeks and things will be perfect! Good luck with yours.

    Trials and Federations

    Carlisle, did you get the standard or the deluxe? I have a deluxe and it dry bashed, with side dents, fairly easily. I haven't steamed or gotten it wet and I've been suprised that it held. Don't give up, you'll get it soon enough and the hat sure can take it.

    Your Hat Likes it Rough

    The hat still looks good Matt. Goes to show, wear it and enjoy it or else why have it?

    Your Hat Likes it Rough

    I treat my hats similiarly to my shoes. When I first get them and start wearing them I'll go a little out of my way to keep them clean, I'll place them gently by the door when I take them off, and when I notice some dirt on them I'll stop and gently brush them off. Then as they become broken...

    Akubra Overload

    I don't think so. The e-mail I got said if it hasn't arrived in 14 days to give them a holler. Might as well call, won't hurt anything except for your phone bill. I ordered mine on the 19th of december and it arrived on the 29th. If it were me, i'd be contacting them.

    Showcase of Non-Indy Federations

    That is a nice bash Viper. Looks good on you too. I tried to get a deeper dent in the crown of my fed but it turns out the top of my head is ridiculously high. Apparently I'm a conehead.

    I found this online and used it to shape my Fed IV, I should have known it came from a lounger! Thanks for the help Dumbjaw
