lol Very true. It's unfortunate too, since the look would likely be more dramatic, considering the higher crown.
Thanks. It appears the corresponding photos have been removed though...bummer.
I just found out that my wife just ordered me a carbon grey Akubra Federation, for my upcoming birthday!
I really need to get a grasp on what I'll need to do to the hat to shape the brim as I'd like it. I hope it's not too involved, as I don't have much confidence in my hat shaping...
I have showed this video to around 15 -20 people. Each time, I preface it by saying, "Did you ever wonder how Indiana Jones' hat never fell off?". The initial reaction of everyone I showed it to was the same. Every one of them thought he really stapled the hat to his head. :eek: :eusa_doh...
Nice hat, fellow Akubra Sydney wearer. :eusa_clap ;)
The front pinch on mine has stayed in place. Only the top crease has a tendency to "creep" (for lack of better word[huh] ).
Caparzo, with those new photos, the color seems to be very much in-line with the photo on the hatsdirect website. I like that color a lot. Very distinctive.
When I get mine, I want the bash and the brim exactly like you have it. It seems all of the photos of the Federation I've seen show the...
:eusa_clap :eusa_clap
I really have fallen in love with the Federation. How close would you say the color is, in comparison to the Hats Direct website photo and/or your photos?
I've been outside with my Akubra Sydney in wind gusts up to 40 miles per hour, and only had 2 instances where it felt like it was about to take flight. In both of those instances, I managed to grab the hat in time. I am absolutely amazed at how unaffected it has been by the wind. So, to answer...
Can't say that I blame ya'. I kind of wish I would have bought a Federation. All those photos of Loungers wearing tall crowned fedoras has affected my preferences :eusa_doh: . Plus, it seems there is more room to allow for different creases [huh]. I'm going to be ordering a Federation next. I...
I like the look, alot. I had wondered how a vest like that would look with a fedora. :eusa_clap
My next hat (:eusa_doh:) is going to be an Akubra Federation. Then on to a VS.
I wouldn't buy one for myself, but this sounds like a great hat for kids...even if it's slightly large! If only they made the smaller sizes in brown. Can't have everything though. I'm measuring my son's head tonight!
I've finally arrived!
I finally had my first "Hey, Indiana Jones" comment yesterday. I explained to her that I've been expecting that comment since getting the hat, but she had the distinct honor of being the first. lol
Also, I just realized I had not taken a good photo of the crease, so...
