What's the cost of shipping to Italy (Modena)?

Ill endorse this hat. Ive got one exactly the same, (even the same size) and I love it. The heritage grade felt is a great improvement on the imperial and the band is much higher quality.

If I didnt already have one, and didnt live in the only town in the world where they are available, I would be on it.

Thanks James! I love these hats too, but I have a Fed IV moonstone with a teardrop bash; and, while I could re-bash this hat I don't really think it's my color. And I need some $ for something that just came up.

It was my first brown hat, and my first non-bound brim.

I initially bashed it with a simple indy style centre dent, but I felt that it was a bit high. Ive noted that we Aussies tend to avoid really high crowns. Whenever Ive had a high crown people comment that it looks too high... I re-bashed it with a substantial teardrop and was amazed at how well the felt took the reworking with no sign of the previous crease. A few weeks later I even adjusted it again and once again it took it in its stride. Im very impressed with the felt.

Heres mine in action as an example of a different bash on it with less height:-

P.S. my apologies for highjacking the thread and turning it into yet another discussion on feds!

No worries, I like your lid It looks great on you. And I am happy for the traffic, highjack or no. Here's my Fed IV Moonstone right after I got it last December. I'm about ready to put away my Panama's and get my Moonstone out again.

There are more shots here on the new hat thread from back then. There's also another shot of the Brown Fed Deluxe in the linked post.

My Fed IV imperial is 59 and fits me now but I believe I read here that the Heritage doesn't shrink as much, and being a 58 that is what I should take. Can you comment James? because I need a brown Fed...
