FS: Akubra Fed IV Deluxe 62

[jnicktem]

I am selling my very first Indy hat I have had... my Akubra Fed IV Deluxe. I bought this back in the fall of 2008. When I first got it I never liked how stiff the felt was... so I started working the felt to make it softer. By working I mean I folded this hat up in a roll hundred of times. It now has the softest felt of any hat I have ever... felt. I tried making a video to show just how soft and pliable the felt has become. Unfortunately, sometime while rolling the hat up the sweatband acquired a few bends in it that just won't come out. While wearing it I don't feel the bends... but that could just be me. I also took pictures of the bends so you can judge yourself. I want to sell this because I just never wear it anymore and it has just been sitting around doing nothing.

I would like to get $75 plus shipping.

If you think you won't like the sweatband, John Penman has already agreed to replace it for his fee of $20 for the work and $10 for the sweatband plus shipping. I can send it directly to John to save you on shipping.
