Fed IV and Adventurer: Side By Side
Got my Fed IV (reg) today. Here it is with my Adventurer (click for larger image):
I sat on the Fed a couple of times and put an initial bash into it; keep in mind that my Adventurer has had much more love and attention.
Initial impressions:
F4 taller by nearly 3/4 inch
F4 ribbon contrasts more with the hat body. Still could be darker.
F4 overall darker than the AkAd. This could be a function of the love my AkAd has gotten.
F4 very soft out of the box and easy to shape. The AkAd was much tougher and required jumping into the Potomac River with it to get the look I wanted. Will the Fed is undoubtetly the more SA, I think the AkAd is the tougher of the two.
No doubt I'll come up with more stuff later.
Questions, comments, insults?

They are the same size. The Fed was a wee bit looser, but not by much.
Now that I've seen them side-by-side, I agree. It does need to be darker. I think the Fed's could be darker still.Super Sleuth wrote:I like the look of the adventurer just not the color of the band. It looks like the color of the dp wool hats
