My new Fed IV, just got it this morning!
This is my third Akubra, but only the second that I currently own. I sold the first, a Bogart, to make this purchase.
So now I have this Fed IV and a Campdraft that I bought a couple of months ago.
I have to say, this Federation is WAAAAY softer than the Campdraft (both Imperial felt). It takes a shape much more easily and the feel of it is more like a vintage. I love the color (BGG) and style of the Campdraft, but this is a nicer lid.
Yes, I know I still have some work to do shaping this thing, lol! Just could now wait to show it off! ;)

Fed IV Deluxe is a nice hat! Once you get around to steaming the bash, the felt opens up even more. One of my favorites!
