I just got a new Fed IV in black, and I love it. But pics don't work well, that's for sure.
If you've worn a black wool hat, I don't imagine a moonstone Fed will bother you.
Remember that Akubras are worn throughout the Australian outback, and are very much designed to be tough, working hats. You may find it cooler to remove the liner entirely, or cut out the plastic on the top of the liner.
That's a relief. What is the purpose of the liner? I've been wondering that since I noticed my Jaxon doesn't have one and some others do.
1) looks classy
2) keeps any hair product from staining the felt

Hats got here yesterday. The box looked gnarly.
Everything ok inside.
Open crown.
One bashed.
Done.
These were easy to bash with some steam.
There's a little difference in size between the grey and brown one. I had to use some of the padding they came with on the grey one, not really on the brown one. Both of them now fit nice and snugly, but still have some room if ever they should shrink.
Very nice Dave. I think my new ones have arrived, from the Customs bill that arrived through the post yesterday. Was hoping they'd slip through like the last one...
Customs bill? Uh-oh. What's the cost of the bill? The more known, the better the purchase can be. I was unaware of a customs bill.
I'm in the UK so mine will be different. We pretty almost always get caught with stuff from the states, but stuff from Australia often slips through. Only £31 for the two hats, but my last two purchases slipped through without any charges. Even with the extra they're still a good deal.
