    FS: Akubra Deluxe Fed IV 60cm

    I bought a Deluxe Fed IV in Heritage Fawn and I really like it. The only problem is that it is the wrong size. I did not wear it that much. No more than 10 times, and I was just not comfortable wearing it. I tried to use some felt strips but I would rather buy the right size. I am asking...

    So in other words it is very resilient to shrinking. Honestly it fits fine, and tight enough with the foam pads I put in, but for some reason I think the foam gets crushed making it easy for the hat to fall off. I see online people saying how they rode a bike with their hat or other and I find...

    Ok I have a question. I really like my akubra fed 4 heritage grade, and I have not worn it that much in the last few months. I decided I would try to shrink it ever so slightly so I do not have to wear it with as much of the foam sizing tape. I tried leaving it in my car for a few days and I...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    See that is the thing. It is a comfortable hat but today with a small wind I damn near lost the hat multiple times. I caught myself trying to pull the hat further down than usual today in the wind and that is what tipped me off to maybe it is just too big.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    At this point I think I will just sell the hat and buy a 59.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Ok now this is just weird. The other day I was caught in a terrible rain storm. My hat got soaked pretty good. I kept wearing it and it dried ok. I took it off when I got home and let it dry for the next 2 days. When I finally re-put it back on it felt pretty snug and good. Over the course of...

    Well i will keep you informed but at the moment I am pleased with my hat. I will let you guys know in the future if I decide to change my mind or need advise.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Ok so I will try the whole felt strip rather than foam. If I have any problems I will probably try to trade it for a heritage grade in 59 then. I hope it doesnt come to that.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hmm. I was worried that I was using too much. After thinking more I am using foam and not felt. Maybe I should stop by a craft store like michaels and pick up some felt and try that. Believe it or not I am sitting in my front yard in a lounge chair studying for a test with my hat on and it feels...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    I have not worn it in the rain yet. Is it possible I just need to wear it even longer to get an even more snug fit? and eventually I can start to remove some foam strips?

    This is the amount of sizing tape I am using.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Alright guys I think that maybe my hat is a size too big. I just measured my head again and now I am getting a perfect 59, or when in inches a 23 and in between 1/4 and 1/8 inches. I am contemplating seeing if a forum member would trade my 60 for an equal grade 59. Thoughts? Does the heritage...

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Man I am starting to think that in heritage grade I should have purchased a 59 instead of a 60. Even with felt strips it still feels just a tinge loose on me and it has been a few weeks now and many good sweats. Im going to leave my hat in my car tonight and retrieve it tomorrow around 10am or...

    Tawny fawn is my favorite color. Heritage fawn being an extremely close second.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Man I will see about just going for a long walk with it on and sitting in the sun when i am in between classes. I will try my best to work up a sweat and see how that goes.

    I love the Fed IV!!

    Hm how about this idea that popped in my head. What if next time I take a shower I put the hat in the bathroom with the door closed to trap the steam/humidity in the room. Do you think that for about 10 minutes or so would do anything to shrink it just a smidge and then I can remove some of the...
