Where do you hang your hat?
The hook swivels on the axis parallel to the flat part of the clip though I am looking to put it into a vice and turn it 90 degrees at the top to hang better on a chair. As it is now it is perfect to hang on a coat hook. -

Softening an Akubra Federation IV
Thanks frussell. I actually rang Christys for advice on shaping the brim of my Christys Adventurer and they recommended just steam but definitely not water as it would mark the hat. -
Softening an Akubra Federation IV
I tried you method Ande1964 and dunked it but in distilled water (as per gtdean48) and then worked the felt and shaped it then put it on my head to dry (per gtdean48). I just wet the outside of the hat and not the lining or sweat band. It was slightly big before and not a long oval which I am... -

Thanks very much for the explanation TheDane, very informative! I can see how the welting or binding would help with the lightweight felts, makes sense now. -

Brim edging question.
Stitched brims on Fedora type hats I have a Federation IV plus a number of other hats and both my Federation IV and my Montecristi Havana (super fino 3.5 brim) both have no stitching on the brim but some of my other hats including one of my wool felt hats do have brim stitching. I notice that... -

Has anyone bought the Poet from Swaine Adeney Brigg (Herbert Johnson)
I have been looking for a good Indiana Jones Raiders Fedora hat and the Poet from Swaine Adeney Brigg (they seem to have taken over Herbert Johnson) seems to be the real thing but I wanted to find out other members opinion. This is obviously a high quality fur felt hat but I also see that...
