Fed IV or Squatter

[Jabos]

Akubra has just announced that it's filing for bankruptcy and will not fulfill existing orders.

For all of us that just read that and thought "S***, I should have ordered that Fed IV when I had the chance" we should now go order it.

Somebody's itch'n for a fight lol.

A box (diamond?) was the second crease I put in my Squatter, the first being a classic cattleman - wow! The box was too damn cool! - the crown was almost square but I really wanted a hat with a low tail center dent so that's where it landed.

Maybe I just have an extremely pointy head.

I should of included YMMV

Is there anything else to say other than worthlesswithoutpics ?

Sorry, I didn't take any pics of the preliminary creases but here is the low tail.

Here is the thread http://thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?t=39146.

Important points to consider. The Squatter has a tapered crown which should be apparent in my pics. The taper is enhanced by the deep center crease. The brim is dimensional 3" x 2 7/8". The crown of the Fed lV has little or no taper.

The Squatter is a concept hat for me. I have romantic notions.

Really like the Squatter, but my Herman Munster head was the reason I went with the Federation. I'm envious of you gentlemen that look great in any hat you wear.

Goose, you look great in the fedoras I've seen. The Fed looks especially good, but so did the Sydney or Fedora also.

A company spokesperson blamed the unfavorable exchange rate of the Australian dollar as well as "too many special orders," many involving ancillary product lines not profitable since the 1940s.
