Yeah, the guys here essentially sold me on an Akubra and I couldn’t be more happy. For two years after I received my Fed IV it’s been rained on at least ten times, pulling traffic duty at my job. My Fed IV gets better with every rain.

Well, I’m excited for you and would like to see some pictures if possible.

I’m jealous! I’m also very interested to see side by side comparison pictures.

What did you order?

My wife would kill me. I am thinking of a Tawny Fawn, though.

Was checking out Hats Direct’s website and it looks like they’re still offering free shipping.

A very merry Christmas to you good folks! May you get to spend time with those near and dear to your hearts!

Sam and I making faces and enjoying hats. She inherited my old wool that I unintentionally let shrink after a rain. Thinking of placing a pink or purple ribbon and bow on it for her.

Before I bought a Fed IV the folks on The Lounge helped me a ton, as did the good ladies at Hats Direct. I also took to YouTube to do research. Merwan has a couple of good vids on the Fed IV. I hope this link works:

Haha! Wish I could. Your quote's from Tom Waits' 'Tango till they're sore,' right? Heard a great joke from him. The 3 stages of man are youth, middle age and 'You look good!'

Alright that tears it. A moonstone was gonna be my next one but I’ve now changed my mind. Perhaps it was the ‘3 second bash’ that did it, I don’t know. Good looking hat!

Great photo, RJR. I’m curious as to how your Akubras hold up to the elements compared to your other ‘Indy’ hat(s). I’ve put my FED through a lot of (sometimes accidental) trials just to prove that it can take it. And it has - that sucker still looks new. I haven’t been caught in a downpour...

You guys are seriously making me want this color. Only problem is, this discussion leads me to believe that when I open the box at home and pull out my new hat, it might just be purple.

That's what I'm talkin' about!

Whiskey is one of my favorites, as well. On the Northwest Hat Co. website (or maybe his Facebook) there's one that's just smooth.
