That's feels like a weak point in my new Bantu jacket. Plus, it's a 'wrong side' zipper, as in a woman's jacket. I'm sure it can be easily replaced by a tailor or seamstress.

Just got mine in the mail...that was super fast! I ordered it on Thursday night. This is my first jacket, and here are my impressions: It's very well made, and being a second quality, the only thing wrong was a few stitches at the bottom of the pocket have come undone. I might never have noticed it ...

I ordered and just received my Fed IV , size 60, and I wear a size 60. The hat was a little bit big, so I used some of the foam sizing tape that they include with the hat and it fits perfectly now. So, a little big is okay since the hat will conform to your head as it 'settles in.' I'll take out the...

I chose the normal delivery time option and I received mine in 10 days.

I ordered mine on Sunday night before Memorial Day and it arrived yesterday, Wednesday. So it took 10 days to get to me. No spraying of a waterproofer for me. I'm just going to leave it as is and let it get dirty.

I received my Fed IV today and just finished the bash. What a great hat! The felt feels superb and is very easy to bash in my opinion, and this is my first try! I've been working it into a tight pinch, Raiders bash with no specific scene in mind, only a feel. When I first put it on, it was a bit lar...

I ordered mine on the Sunday before Memorial Day and got an email confirmation that it was going out on the next postal run. He said it'd be her in 5-10 business days. It's been six now, so I'm just being patient. Can't wait to try my hand at my first bash.

Good grief, ichnob! When did you order your hat? I placed my order on Memorial Day last week and expect it this week. I seem to be in the same boat as you, new around here but bit by the Indy Gear bug. I also just ordered a Todd's shirt Saturday night. I think I'll hold off on getting the jacket see...

I just purchased a Todd's online and, from what I've seen on this post, the Todd's looks the best to my eyes. At least it's my preference over the others. The WPG just looks too light for my taste.

I'm sure I'll love it no matter what. It'll look great with my new FED IV.

I just joined as well and it sure seems that everyone is very passionate about being Gearheads. I am a stickler for accuracy and I like hanging around people that feel the same way that I do. It's a gas being part of it all!

From what I've seen, it's the best and most affordable fedora you can get. It's even got Steve's (of AB fame) good graces and he is THE expert on these hats.

It's a great lid. Can't go wrong for price, shape, felt quality, color, and fast shipping.

Do you wear baseball caps a lot? I could imagine that compared to the skull-hugging ballcap, a real, honest-to-goodness fedora might feel a bit tall. Ah, the good old days of fedoras on every fella's head.

I guess the ballcap is the new fedora, huh?

I prefer the fedora.

I just got email confirmation that my Fed IV will be arriving in 5-10 days! As a total newb, I'm very excited at the prospect of a great looking hat that has such nice historical and screen accuracy. You can't beat that price either. Now the big question, I love the Raiders bash, so... To turn or no...
