Keep in mind, JohnnyCanuck is wearing a Federation III in those photos, which was discontinued when Akubra introduced the Federation IV in 2008 (I think). The dimensions on the Fed IV are a bit more "modest" (i.e. a narrower brim and, I think, a slightly shorter crown), so the Fed you receive won't look exactly like Johnny's. To be clear, I am in no way attempting to dissuade you from purchasing a Fed IV--they're my favorite current production-made hat, and I think everyone should own at least one. I just don't want you to be disappointed when the hat you receive doesn't...err...measure up...to Johnny's.Agreed. I've been trying to hold off on buying another hat but don't have a Fed yet and pics like that don't help to discourage
