Hat has been returned, thanks Chaps

Just got my Fed IV Deluxe Dark Brown, can anyone pass their opinion on the bow/ribbon? The bow is untidy and appears not stitched fully, the ribbon doesn't even join up around the hat. Any feedback appreciated. http://i251.photobucket.com/albums/gg300/philbios/Fedora/2010_12_4061.jpg http://i251.pho...

Thanks for the info, so it's going to be a Dark Brown in Deluxe to suit the Golden Idol scene, thanks

I finally got through the thread, pheeew. Now I am even more confused, I want to get a Fed IV Fedora to suit a Raiders (Golden Idol Scene) color and style, is the Reg or Deluxe the way to go on this?

I flew to Rochester to attend last year's FLS with two hats, actually. I wore one and the second was in a hat carrier similar to the box shown by Chewie. http://www.hammerplastics.com/hat_cans/classic-western-carrier-p-4.html . I had the hat box inside a large duffel bag which also carried my cloth...

Thanks, they definitely have some potential

Yeah, I thought that was going to be the answer, I was hoping someone knew of a hardcase or frame that I could put the old girl in to stop her being crushed.

I am traveling overseas and want some recommendations on the way to carry my Fedora in my luggage so it's survives the trip? Did a search on the forum with limited results. Many Thanks

Thanks for the advice guys, I'll marry the strap up with the Mk VI Gas mask bag from Lawrance Ordnance, is the strap 'stainless' on clothing?

What color strap from Magnoli for a ROTA look?

I reckon I'll get this bag after reading everyones impressions, can anyone recommend a suitable strap (preferably in Australia, but will order from OS if necessary) ?

Todd's shipping is the cheapest so far so I will go ahead with an order...

Thanks for all the input lads..

Indiana Jerry,

Got a reply back from the chaps at UnionWarSurplus, they do indeed stock the Brown Web Belt but the shipping costs are too expensive to expedite a purchase. Thanks again for your help and I'll keep on searching.

Indiana Jerry,

OK, will make enquiries, thanks again for you help .

Indiana Jerry,

Thanks for the info, doesn't look like they have a brown belt, closest is tan.

I'm in Adelaide, about 780km west of Melbourne.
