New member.New hat. First fedora. I'm sure I'll be getting more as I love this one. Akubra fed IV. I'm sure guys have seen a million of these.

Nice hat. I think my next hat will be open crown

Thanks. Never bashed a hat before but it was very easy. I got the akubra because i kept reading how tough they are and I'm moving to Suriname this year and I'll be in the sun on the river all day long. I figured this had would be a good balance of get the job done and looking good while doing it.

Looks like you've been doing it forever. Really fine job, Scott. Looks great on the noggin! Give it a tilt!

We've seen a few, but most of us never get tired of seeing nice hats. I think the hat suits you very well--nice clean crease, perfect crown height and brim width. And welcome to The Lounge!

+1 all the above.
A well bashed FedIV is hard to beat imho
And you wear it well

So the older gentleman tells me he wants it in black, a 3 1/2" brim with slight side curls, a 4" telescoping crown, a 5/8" ribbon, and a bound edge. I say "sure, will you be picking that up yourself or will you be sending the Easter bunny?". I have to admit that, during the building process, it kind of grew on me.

Here's my first official Mallory. She's a dane! I had a brown on that was newer and it got ruined. Pa...don't like to talk about it. Picked this darling up for only $29 on etsy. I have dated this one to be late 40s early 50s. The brim width is 2 3/4'' and the ribbon width about 1 3/4''. The color is something I do not see much. It's a fine navy with a darker navy ribbon. Mallory is one of my faves like Dobbs, Knox, and of course Stetson.

WINNER!!!!! The Mallory's EXQUISITE! Congratulations, GMasta!

Really nice!

Thanks Joao. I thought of you when I trimmed a measly 1/8" off the brim.

This used to be my favorite crown. But that was back when a taller crown felt intimidating. This hat reminds me of why I love the gambler look.

Humanshoes; apologies for the delay on this, but that broad brim beauty's the ballz! Super work, sweet results!

Well it was what the new owner wanted right? That's not much.

You MUST make a trip to Angel Falls in Venezuela while you are down there. It's not that far!

Thanks for that hatsRme. The old boy picked it up yesterday and was delighted. I kind of hated to see it go, but he looked liked he was born wearing it.

Great looking work, man. Did you start the hat from scratch, or did it start life as a hat? It looks fantastic! :eusa_clap

I always try to give 'em what they want.
