    Summer, but I could not resist.

    Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame

    Thanks. I realised when researching colour combinations that charcoal was not that popular and I really did not want to go with a black ribbon. When I spoke to Art about having a dark chocolate brown ribbon, instead of charcoal or black, he was not too sure until he "dressed" it for colour...

    Baron hats' Mark Mejia makes a hat - video

    Looks like the link posted does not connect to the video, but rather a video for Wordpress.

    Crown height ?

    Thanks for the feedback everyone which has all been useful. I reckon I could get away with a slightly taller crown without me looking odd to someone in the street. Back to the kettle and a bit of re-bashing! :D

    Crown height ?

    Thanks! That explanation does help ... err; then I thought hang-on! Did you mean measure the jawline to chin, ie. from below the ear to the centre of the chin, or was it a vertical measurement from chin to where the brim lines up around the eye brows? For my wife and myself, the 10cm crown...

    Crown height ?

    Greetings fellow hatters! Apologies if this has been covered in another thread - which I obviously failed locate - but I am trying to find out if there is a recommended crown height in relation to person height, face type or occasion? What is the generally accepted as too high or low, or is it...

    Hat comeback

    New York Times article Not sure if anybody has seen this but a good article in the New York Times about the rising popularity of the felt fedora hat. http://www.nytimes.com/2011/02/03/fashion/03HATS.html

    The nicest comment I ever heard

    Today it was chucking it down in London and my wife got herself a hat from James Lock & Co. A couple of hours later in a shoe shop, one of the assistants complimented both of us on our hats. She was very chuffed and so was I in my Federation IV. So many stingy trilbies about in London this...

    Rotten Pre-Teens Stole my Hat!!!

    That is terribly sad. The poor children could not determine that the hat was of such quality that it was not worth stealing. It's only their upbringing to blame and some shame on parents and society for not educating children on determining quality and style! :)

    Conundrum - second hat decision

    Ok, finally managed to take self portraits on my mobile phone so the quality is iffy. The Fed IV is in in "training" so the brim looks flatter than usual. The lighter coloured hat is my first one. A huge difference!

    Conundrum - second hat decision

    Pictures coming of both my first and second (Fed IV) hats. After getting over the initial shock (both me and my wife :eek: ) of the high square crown, and a bit of fine tweaking the height and profile I can "confidently" say that it looks great - but that's from a neebie! :D

    Conundrum - second hat decision

    Dark brown Fed IV arrived today and wearing it in. The dark brown looks more formal, and darker, than expected so I don't expect it to be a problem wearing it into the city as I first thought. Not used to the taller crown and had a shock when I first shaped and wore it. Managed to lower...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    I had a search but only found your original post which says you won it on eBay. Do you recall if it was a private seller or etailer; if an etailer do you have their contact details? Thanks for the help as that hat just looks great and unique. :)

    Conundrum - second hat decision

    Thanks AlterEgo. I ordered the dark brown deluxe today (from hatsdirect) instead because I have a grey Beaver Brand hat arriving via eBay. The BB was an impulse buy, but at least I get to see if the grey suits me. I am not too concerned about comments as I am usually listening to music and...
