Lightweight vs Dressweight Felt
I just jumped in line for my second hat from Art Fawcett. My first is a dressweight oxblood. I'm definitely going with a lighter colored hat for the next one, but would like some input. I've looked all over the place and I've not been able to find any information that directly compares... -

The Frustration of the Less Than Perfectly Shaped Hat
Hi, my name is Mustang ( honestly:o ;) :D ), and I admit...I have a problem (the first step, right?). I'm a perfectionist. I stopped wearing cowboy hats awhile ago because of it, and now it's rearing its ugly head again. I've bought two fedoras so far. The first one being the Akubra Sydney. Now... -
Plastic Liner: Considering Removal
I have an Akubra Sydney and never paid much attention until recently to the fact that the top part of the liner is plastic. From what I can tell most hats come that way. Is there a good reason for me to keep the plastic in place? And what is the reason hat companies use plastic? All I know is... -

Just Ordered...My SECOND Fedora! (Carbon Grey Akubra Federation)
I just found out that my wife just ordered me a carbon grey Akubra Federation, for my upcoming birthday! I really need to get a grasp on what I'll need to do to the hat to shape the brim as I'd like it. I hope it's not too involved, as I don't have much confidence in my hat shaping... -
Your Favorite Band of Brothers Episode
I love Band of Brothers. By far and away my favorite "movie" (I consider it one long movie [huh]). My son and I have watched every episode, well, I have no idea how many times...we'll just say many, many times! My favorite episode is "Breaking Point". That was the first time I grasped a... -
While Trying Different Bashes...
If I really would like to try different bashes over the next week or so with my new hat, would you recommend removing the bash (changing it back to an open crown) at the end of the day so that the bash at that time, doesn't build a memory (for lack of better word)? -

Just Ordered...My First Fedora!
After researching it way beyond the norm (I'm a very obsessive person :o), I finally made up my mind and ordered my very first fedora this morning...the Akubra Sydney in "regency fawn" from David Morgan. I figured I'd better ease into the world of fedoras. I was going to have Art make my... -

Casual Fedora: from T-Shirt to a Shirt & Tie
Is there such a thing? For the most part I'm pretty casual. I don't wear t-shirts as much as I used to, but I still wear them. I rarely wear suits...OK...actually, I never wear suits:o :eusa_doh: . As much as I'd like to watch my pennies and be wise, I really like Art Fawcett's "Tucker". It... -
Hi, from a "First Time Writer, Short Time Reader"
A tip of the hat to you all, I found this site not all that long ago, and I literally have scanned EVERY SINGLE page of the hat forum and read all of the threads that caught my attention :eek: . It took me awhile (imagine that!). BUT when I began, I knew absolutely nothing...and now I know...
