Nice job on the crease — it looks great!Hello again! My Fed IV Deluxe arrived just in time, two days before Christmas.

It was incredibly stiff, I was surprised. Some members here have talked about this but certainly I didn't expect it to have so much stiffener. I'm not complaining, just surprised. It fits really good, just a little bit loose so it can shrink, but already fits great and I'm in no need of foam straps on this one.

Yesterday I could finally work on the bash, using steam. This is how it went.

I would like to thank all of you, gentlemen, because your comments in this thread made me finally go for this hat. It feels great, looks great and it's sturdy and durable, yet comfortable to wear even in the Chilean summer. A great hat for people like me, who are on a budget, yet looking to spend wisely.

I hope you've had a very good Christmas and Happy New Year to all!
I had a Heritage Banjo Patterson and I removed the liner to make it a bit more breathable. The fur felt on mine seemed indestructible and it was my go to hat on bad weather days.
