Akubra FD4 Deluxe

What color did you get?

Yes tracking is a nightmare, but not the fault of Hatsdirect.com, customs is the hold up and for lack of updates. I have ordered a couple of hats from them and Trudi and the gang over there are awesome to deal with. I love my Fed IV in carbon grey. Might have to get one in Moonstone.

Moonstone is a great colour. My Moonstone Fed IV is one of my favourite hats. I'm looking forward to receiving my Moonstone campdraft today or tomorrow.

Did I mention I really like moonstone??

That I'd like to see. Can that only be ordered in Heritage/Deluxe grade?

Both Imperial and Deluxe Fed IV are available in Moonstone

But only the Deluxe (Heritage) version of the Campdraft is available in Moonstone.

There seems to be a lot of debate here about Imperial v Heritage, especially the 'value' of the increased cost of Deluxe.

Almost all of my hats are Akubra's. Many of them are Imperial (standard) felt but I like Heritage more. They don't look very different to me but the quality of the leather sweatband in the Heritage hats are MUCH nicer. For me it's worth paying a bit extra for the quality bump when it's available.

Thx. No doubt abt the sweatband.

Here is my fed. The only pic I took last night. If I would have thought about it I would have took a pic of the top. It's a shallow center crease. I have a tall noggin.

Yep, we definitely need to see a pic from above. But that looks really good on you. Congrats on the new lid.

Looks good.

As promised more pics. Sharpened up the front dents and deepened and lengthened the center crease. Me likes...

Much better as a matter of fact, just right.

I have the same problem, which is why my hats have Teardrop or C-Crown creases. I'd like to wear a Center Dent, but my head just pushes it out from the inside.
