I have a Stylemaster in navy, and I have to think that the Fed IV would look great in that color. I’m just sayin’.

Thanks! Actually the hat is black with a grey ribbon. I got it used, so I don't know if it's the original ribbon or how old the hat is. I'll get better pics and post them.
I don't think I personally would be in the market for a navy blue Fed IV, but it doesn't look bad and I'd have to see what Akubra might come up with if they ever chose to produce one. Not that I'm holding my breath waiting for that to happen...Whoa
If I ever get another Fed IV, your photos have convinced me that Carbon Gray would be a good choice. *sigh* So many hats, so little money...Just because I love the Fed IV, me, today, in my carbon gray, and herringbone overcoat.

Yes, more pictures would be great. It looks really good in that one shot.
Your hat originally came with a black ribbon.
Is that heritage orTempted to get Dark Brown and MoonStone/Carbon Grey.
Well, gotta make some place first

Yip, I'd add midnight blue, Oxblood and bottle green to the Fed IV range. I'd also love to have the option of a contrast ribbon and a wind trolley. Not sure I'd be all that fussed about buying any other model of fedora again if I had those options....
The crown of the Tawny Fawn is just fine, but the brim is proving to be a bearcat. It is wonky at best, but I'm working it into submission. It isn't worth returning, and I see the fine-shaping as a challenge, but I may let The Hattery know that "one slipped by."
What I'm referring to doesn't really show in the pics but in a head-on view the wonkiness is apparent.

You get an alert when it lands stateside and also when it clears customs.Those Feds look pretty nice! I ordered my first campdraft in Cedar Brown on 11/20 from the Hattery. Did you get a tracking update when it landed state side? I'm just curious since mine still shows enroute to the US.
Well darn mine must be stuck in customs then.You get an alert when it lands stateside and also when it clears customs.
I also took advantage of their free shipping, but ordered mine on the 16th (not a Fed IV). It apparently just cleared customs over the weekend, as tracking showed it arrived at our local post office this morning at 3:30-ish after having been immobile for two or three days. *shrug* I've had one hat arrive from Australia in as few as four days and another took 10, but in my experience the average has been 7-8 days.Well darn mine must be stuck in customs then.
