fantastic fogey! Be sure to let us see the Federation when it comes in.

Mike in Seattle said:I bit the bullet this evening and ordered a Federation in tawny fawn...popped for the express shipping so with any luck, a box from that other Oz should be arriving in the Emerald City (Seattle) by the end of the week. I was going to try to hold out for the new Adventurer hat - David Morgan's exclusive from Akubra that's close to the Federation - but that's supposed to be a couple months off at best. That's a replacement to the one they had a month or two ago - when I checked before running up to give it a look and probably buy, I found it had been pulled - I assumed it was a little too close to the Hats Direct exclusive. But today I figured getting a notice from the bank of a mistake on a deposit in my favor meant that I should immediately spend it, right?
Oh great...Morgan's now changed their website to say "coming soon" - well, it's dark brown anyway and I wanted more of a tan... and there's always Christmas and my birthday rolling down the pike if I really feel I have to have an excuse (other than I want the darn thing!) to get one.
