I think the Fed IV's going to be out for me. The crown's just not tall enough for what I want. If I choose to go with an Akubra I think it will be the Campdraft, otherwise I may try to get one custom made for the wider color options.
The crown on this Stetson Nutria conversion is 5 3/4. It gives me a deeper and more defined center crease that you can't get on the Fed unless you lower the crown height.
This hat, as creased, is nearly 5 inches tall all around and is 4 3/4 at the pinch with a rake sloping to 4 1/2 at the back. It's also near the Akubra Fawn color...not the color I'm looking for, though...
Notice the deeper center crease with the taller open crown height...
Me, wearing the hat...Although this is my favorite hat in my collection, I don't think I want another Fawnish color
