    I need to remove the liner from my Federation IV for cleaning. I see that it is tacked in place with glue. What glue should I use for reinstalling? Also, any tips on this procedure would be appreciated. I took the liner out on another Fedora and never could get it back in right. Since it was a...

    I know its old technology but could not pass up this deal!

    Just bought this older Mitsubishi 60 inch rear projection TV for $40! This thing is huge! 5 feet tall and 5 feet wide and picture is great! Still a great deal even if it only lasts a year!

    Did not know that you could actually stretch the felt by using something other than a block. I do have a long oval shaped head, too!

    My Fed IV appears to have a taper in open crown state...it looks different to me compared to other pics on this site. What do you guys think? The lettering on the sweat band says "FEDERATION" ! Did I get an older model? If so, Hats direct screwed me!

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Band ribbon? I thought it was in the back of the hat! How the heck do you line that up with your nose? I just now, used a heavy dose of distilled water and a balloon to put my Fed IV back to open crown to redo the shape and would like some more info on this. I have a very non symmetrical head...

    You will not regret buying a fed IV...mine is the regular Imperial Grade felt... A little background...I went to St. Louis' oldest hat store(Levine Hats) and shopped their fedoras. When I found one I liked that was priced around $130, I asked about wearing it in the rain. The salesman gave me a...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    First...thanks for saying "nice hat"! The hat is not fading at all...the camera flash makes it almost look like Moonstone...in most lighting the hat is a basic dark grey. Lighting makes a huge difference.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    It does taper like you said and camera makes it look more pronounced. If I take out the front pinch it magicly goes away. Do you guys think it looks bad? I never paid attention before...
