I guessed i should have researched a little more, i bought an used Todd's downtowner fedora from bay , the guy bought it in June 2010 so i guess is the old model, cause from the pic, it seems that the wings are smaller than the one he's selling now.. BTW, i haven't received the item as off yet since i just won the auction, but now that i compare the pic , it looks different. We'll see. I'll post pics as soon as i get it. Sal

Wings? I assume you mean the sides of the brim?

So i got the hat yesterday, and its a piece of beauty, i like it very much, unfortunately i have a melon head and its kind of tight. I still like it though... Is there a way to make the hat a little larger (or shrink my head for 3cm? ;D) Uploaded with ImageShack.usHere I am with my little Marion , with my jacket! The whip and my other gear hasn't arrive yet, as soon as i get them i'll post pics with my complete gear! Let me know what you think Uploaded with ImageShack.usSAl

the hat looks great on you! i don't know how thick your hair is , but you might trimm your hair to make the hat fit better , but i think todds sell a hat stretcher, so look into it ? but the hat look good .

If you lightly steam the inside of the hat and put it on your head to dry, it will stretch and dry to the somewhat larger shape. The downside, is also as you sweat while wearing it it will stretch too... but if you take it off because you're done for the day, the next morning it will fit really tight because it shrank. A good idea for any hat is to get a stand or a block or hat stretcher (you can buy those at Harbor Freight). www.harborfreight.com/adjustable-hat-stretcher-42210.htmlCheers. Wear it in good health!

I definitely will save up for a Todd's fedora..someday well (and this is my opinion) i would think about ordering one soon , cause when you go to todds and hit the clearence section , that's where the downtowner is , so he maybe not making more of these anymore ( but like i said that's just my opinion) until todd says otherwise . cause he no longer sells the uptowner. just something to think about.

Yeah! Thanks guys for your replies!!!!!! California Jones, your hat is amazing! did you use fullers earth? Looks great! My hat is 60cms and the largest he has (according to Todd) is 61 cmts. I guess i'll keep this one cause i don't think 1 cm will make a difference.... what do you think?
