First ever pictures post

Finally got some time to get some pictures of my tawny fawn Fed IV.

Sorry for the size and text...I'm not exactly sure what I'm doing with imageshack + the forum yet.

Here's my Moonstone model, just back from the slimming-cure at Henry the Hatter in Detroit:

The brim cutter took too much off; I said 2.5", they cut it to 2" on the sides and about 2.25" in front. Oddly, I'm starting to like it.

My modified Moonstone Fed4 to the Wanderer format = Playboy style ribbon with bound edge, brim trimmed to non-dimensional.

That's a great idea.
I would like to have that done with my brown Fed if I can consider letting go of it long enough to let Wichita Hat Works do their magic.

I have been working on a Kokoda, reshaping the crown and brim to be more like a Bushman and it's worked pretty well so far, but I am thinking about having the brim shortened and rebound at WHW too.

Resurrecting an old thread as I posted originally in the wrong place (ask a question but couldn't work out how to move it). About to order as my first Akubra a carbon grey Fed IV. Despite reading up through the various threads and having decided to go for the Fed IV, vaguely unsure given all the comments on the proportions / big size, but figure I may as well order to find out! Quite keen on not having the Indy bash, hence this fortuitous and topical thread, albeit 8 years ago; Wish me luck...

All the best. I think you'll really like the hat. Personally, I don't think of a Fed IV as in any way a big hat. With a Camp Draft, because it's based on the Open Road design, you're on your way to a cowboy hat, but the Fed I consider fairly civilized.
