Akubra Overload

[EggHead]

Nice one Danny! Does the brim on Fed4 curl naturally or did you have to do something to it?

 

[dannyboy_883]

Thanks EggHead!
Mine came with the brim curl, which I was happy about, as I have heard that they often have a very straight brim.
This was my first time doing anything with a hat so I don't think I would have been up to the task of curling the brim just yet!

One fern green CEO as requested.

James,
I see where the CEO has a brim about 1/4" larger than the Stylemaster, and looks to be pre-creased in a center dent/front pinched crown, but I was curious as to the crown hieght as creased. I like the color alot and would consider it being my first Akubra to order directly from Australia. Thanks for any help.

Me in the office wearing a Akubra "The Sombrero". i know. i need to tiedy up....

 

[James71]

My CEO has had an awful lot of wear don't those pics were taken and now has a somewhat more "inspired by nature" bash. I'll measure it for you when I get home, but it will only be a rough guide.

Hey everyone, this is my first post although I've been lurking for a while. Just got my Fed IV deluxe in the mail. It is my second hat (first is a stetson I got in November). I bashed it as an indy bash and I'm unsure about the high crown on me. Do you find its something you get used to? Or is it not for everyone? I will try to get pictures up soon!

 

[dannyboy_883]

Welcome!, I am new also.
I recently bought a Fed and while I didn't put the indy bash into it, I did use a centre dent. I was worried even before I ordered it that the crown would be too high for me, though once I finished shaping I found that it suited well, nothing that I had to get used to. For unknown reasons I am not a fan of anything except centre dents for the top (for my head atleast!)
Show a picture and you should get good feedback and/or advice from the guys here.

Cheers,
Danny

Johnny, looks like the green one on top row has the tallest crown. Is it a Fed?

 

[johnnycanuck]

Yes EggHead, that is a brown Federaton Delux III in brown. Does look green in some light. Got to love energy saving fluorescent bulbs.

Hmm, I wonder which model it'd be?

HAHA! I love it! I think a Cattleman is a pretty safe bet.

The company hopes to have a new range of hat samples ready soon for distribution to Akubra agents, in time for the peak selling period later this year.

“Manufacturing is at capacity which is a little unusual for this time of year” commented Managing Director Stephen Keir. “I kept promising our new production manager, Ron Palin, that he would have a chance to settle into his new role after Christmas but instead he hasn’t had a chance to come up for air.”

Hi

I talked to a guy in the Embassy Suites, at about 10:30 PM local time in Tukwilla WA. He was wearing an Akubra Traveller. Nice hat.

Later

What's the one second from the right on the top shelf, Johnny? I like the brim shape on that one

Looks like the Aussie Gold or Down Under.
