Since:

01) I just had some very good luck on eBay last week
02) I'm selling my unworn Moonstone Grey Stylemaster and unworn Loden Brown Federation III Deluxe in 7 5/8 in the Classifieds (plug!)
03) The economy is just right

...I just ordered the Federation IV Deluxe in both Moonstone and Dark Brown. It came out to $135.69 USD each including shipping. That's not bad at all, is it?

Sounds good to me, DJ. I paid $196 shipped in April for a Fed Deluxe IV and just ordered another for $138 shipped. Quite a difference.

I might be catching up to you Bob, 4 Akubras on order and 3 customs from Major Moore. But unlike you, only 3 are for me.

I canceled my HatsDirect order because they don't have the Deluxe in Moonstone Grey in stock in my size and they think 62 would work better than 61 for me anyway, and the Moonstone Grey isn't made beyond 61.

So it goes, it's okay. I don't just want the brown. It was an all-or-nothing sort of deal.

You're ahead now, but all of mine are for me. :eek: At least you're nice enough to share with Dee and the girls.

Maybe we should start an HA group. "Hi, my name is Bob. I'm a hataholic."

So if I bought a Fed4 being that in a Fed3 I wear a 61 would I need a 62?

I think the "packRAT" club would be more appropriate.lol

How much are you guys paying for shipping? I was just about to order a Fed Deluxe from hatsdirect and the shipping came up to $37.90! I live in TN. Is that how much everyone is paying for shipping from them?

Thanks,
Rick

Seems so! To directly quote Jenny Nethercote from HatsDirect, whom I was exchanging emails with last night after I placed my order:

"The new Federation Deluxe IV is measuring slightly smaller (about .5 centimeter smaller than the Fed III)."

She told me that I'd need a size 62, which the Moonstone Grey Federation IV (be it Standard or Deluxe) is unavailable in. Bummer.

That's in Aussie dollars which are worth about $0.70 American. So multiply $37.90 by 0.7 and that's your actual shipping.

There's a "one use of a joke per week" rule now in effect.
Carter has been exempted from his conduct prior to the posting of this rule.
Violations of the rule will result in compulsory donning of the weenie hat.:p
