Hey COW'ers, i need a little advice in here... I live in Mexico so basically all the shipping costs are quite high. So i saw an MK VII on ebay that cost $50 USD plus $20 USD or the one that it's posted in here £17.99 plus £10.00. So basically: -$70 USD -> $723 MXN (the one of ebay.com [what_price_g...

I like the hat a lot. The nicest thing is that your good lady took the time and trouble to get it for you.
Steve

Steve27752

I`ve checked my feedback. I have bought from this seller. This is the item that I bought.

(MOD EDIT: No posting of links to auctions which are not yours, as per site rules.)
I am very happy with the bag it has all of the holes/metal work and pockets inside.

Steve27752

Oops sorry guys.........delete it if you need to.
Steve

Steve27752

A great price if anyone needs/wants a real MK V11 bag.
And no I have nothing to do with the seller.

I`ve replaced the link to that of the `SA` bag!

I certainly hop we have a summer this year; it is the 3rd of June and we have had about a weeks sun in total!
We will soon start hoping for an Indian summer.
Steve

Steve27752

Nah, get rid of the plastic! I cut it out as close as I could without causing damage to the `Satin`.
I will also remove the complete liner in the summer.

How does that compare with ordering direct?

I have used this company before and I would recomend them.

I had to do it. Has anyone else done it?.....................................................................................I`ve cut out the plastic section at the top of the liner in my Fed 1V!

non of the hats in the film had a logo atall they had plain white linners and plain sweat bands any alterations as far as linner colour was done on set with dye to give the apperance of ageing I would prefer the white liner in my Fed 1V to be the same brownish/khaki colour as the liner in the film....

Regarding Shoe trees. I was taught many years ago, that you only use shoe tress when your feet are not in your shoes (or boots). When I buy a new pair of shoes, or my Aldens, I always get cedar shoe trees to keep in them. Also, as has been said elsewhere in these forum, it is best practice to not w...

It looks a perfect fit to me.

Well did any of you Fed IV owners go up a size when you ordered? I just got an e-mail from Hats Direct requesting me to confirm my size. It's now or never! What should I do?

Steve27752

It's not totally plastic. The whole lining is done is satin (I think that's what it is) and then there's a piece of plastic that sits in the top to protect the logo and keep water from soaking through the hat onto your head. It's actually quite practical. Would it be easy to remove it without damag...

Steve27752

A plastic lining?.......................If the Fed 1V has a plastic lining it will be coming out!
What can I replace it with?
Steve

Steve27752

Has to be Flight Jackets, for the quality and finish of the product.

Sounds about what I thought.........A shame because there are two G & B size 40"`s in the Bazar!..................................Anyone got a G & B in a Dark Brown, Goat, 38" Regular that they want to sell for a reasonable price?
Steve

Steve27752

I have had two G&B A2`s and a G&B G1 jacket..............................Now, I am usually a chest size 40" in leather jackets. But I am a 38" in the G&B`s.
Do their Expedition jackets come up a size larger as well or will a 40" Expedition fit me?
Steve

2"
