Fed and Fed Deluxe

Quickbeam · Post by **Quickbeam** » Mon Jul 21, 2003 11:22 am

I've had my Federation for about 6 months now, and I love it. I don't get to wear it much, because Little Rock is pulling heat indecies in the 110's... oh well, there's always debate tournaments!

My question is concerning the Federation Deluxe. What's the difference? What does a higher quality felt really mean? Is it worth it?

Thanks,
Jeremy

Well, Higher quality felt means . . . well, the felt is of higher quality. I also believe that the fed deluxe is of a more accurate color, but I'm not exactly sure. I've never held a fed, so i have nothing to compare my fed deluxe to, so I don't know if it's worth it or not. But others might be abe tl

The Deluxe is a more accurate color, and the felt is a bit softer and denser than the standard Fed. Regards. Michaelson

Is everything else the same between the reg. and deluxe? I mean ribbon and bow size/style, crown height, brim size, etc?

Yes. It does have the better liner with the 'Akubra Heritage' label, but other than what has been said above, it's the same as the Fed in all those characteristics. Regards. Michaelson

PR, you will NOT be disappointed. I got my Deluxe last week, and it has not been off my head except to sleep or shower. I LOVE it. The felt is top-quality, and the shape is exquisite! It definitely gets my recommendation.

My reg-Fed isn't nearly that color green, it never was. It's closer to the mid brown you see in the pic of the Delux you see above.

I've been enjoying my Fed-regular for a couple of days now, I haven't got a Delux yet, but my curiousity to see the differences first-hand will probably lead me to buy a Delux inna little while. However the regular fed is fantastic the people who have seen it really like the way it looks and feels and so do I. I can't tell you which is a more accurate color cuz my Fed is charcoal grey since its not my only Indy hat I wanted a different color. Either choice you make I bet you'll be a happy hat owner no matter what!
