    Akubra Squatter

    The Squatter has a wide bound brim and the crown is shorter and rounder compared to a Fed IV. I had a diamond bash in both the Fed and Squatter in this shot, but you can see the crown comparison. They both have a center dent now. The Squatter doesn't take a diamond bash very well due...

    BTW, the Fed IV is based on the last IJ movie, KOTCS, not ROTLA, if you are particular about that.

    If it was in stock, maybe 10 days. If you put in the cart it should calculate shipping. Shipping from Hats Direct is expensive, but the total cost is reasonable for what you get, IMHO.

    Yes the Fed IV is exclusive to Hats Direct. They have great service and can be easily contacted by email. Just go to the contact page and grab their email. You may have to right click and copy the email address into your webmail. They have always been very helpful and answered any questions...

    Capricorn

    Sam, they are fairly comfy and cool. I can feel air flow through the open woven area in the crown. They are not as light as straw, but will stand up to rain. Looking for a straw hat for Summer is what brought me to the lounge. Never did get a straw, but I've been happy with the Capricorn for...

    Looking for the benefit of your experience --- Fed IV or Campdraft?

    The Fed is dressier offering more of an urban look while the Camp Draft seems more country-ish, IMO. The CD appears bigger, on my head, the crown is slightly taller and the brim slightly wider. Fed (Carbon Grey) Camp Draft (Glen Grey)

    The CD looks great Edward. The CD will definitely soften up when you wear it and rain will help. Are Londoners accustomed to seeing hats the size of the CD? Are reactions favorable?

    Heh, I even looked to see if you might be in there gt, but didn't recognize you until you pointed yourself out. The pic had me fooled, good eye Atticus. :) Love my Campdrafts.

    How ya doing Neo? :) The Squatter is not a David Morgan, to my knowledge, it doesn't have the chin strap holes. The crown doesn't seem as large as the Morgan Squatter either. Maybe David Morgan sold one like this at one time, but it doesn't seem to match their current offering. It's a...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    The word about the Fed IV from the start was that it ran small. Like scotty, my head measures 59 also and my Feds, size 59, were slightly large at first. I never bothered putting tape under the sweatbands, I just wore them and they conformed nicely after wear.
