DRB said:Thank you Matt. I love the Fed IV and enjoy reading about it. Your pictures look great. Some day I would like to see the carbon grey in person. They are not as light colored as your picture suggests are they?
Again...Thanks

DRB said:Can anyone tell me what Akubra says is the open crown height of the Fed IV?
MattJH said:The information is here. The open crown height of the Federation IV is 5 5/8". The previous version of the Federation (now referred to as the Federation III) had a crown height of 6", which looked absolutely horrid on me. I tried one on two separate occasions and sold both within 24 hours.
DRB said:Thank you! That is what I was looking for.
kaosharper1, you really have a talent for making a great bash. Looks very nice.
May the Fed IV live long and prosper.
Chinaski said:I would call your latest Fed IV incarnation a diamond crease, and I think it looks great. Go with it, and when the mood strikes, go ahead and re-crease!
J B said:Just curious, does anyone have a preference as to which photograph portrays the crease job I did best on my fedora? I have to admit, the very first bash I did was really good looking for a beginner like myself to open-crown hats.
That's weird. No matter what I do to mine it reverts to a teardrop [huh].elvisroe said:I find no matter what I do short of a centre dent my fed iv reverts to a diamond. [huh]
