Fed Deluxe IV - what colour????

Snapbrim76 · Post by **Snapbrim76** » Thu Jul 16, 2009 3:27 am

I just ordered a fed deluxe IV in dark brown. But I've just noticed a lot of people going for Heritage fawn. Which is the right colour to be more SA?

Dark brown is the color you want for a more SA hat.

Phew - I'm glad to hear that! I ordered one yesterday, and I was nervously eyeing this thread!

Thanks for putting my mind at rest!

(Now I'm only worried if it'll fit my huge noggin'...and if I'll have to pay tax on it...

Dark Brown and it's a truly gorgeous hat.
Here's mine...

No steam, just a dry bashing into that shape...and it stays there like it was made for it

I like that crease, bish. Nice job.

A lot of people have been buying the fawn because they like the contrast of the dark ribbon on the lighter felt. I've also seen those who go on the logic that, when Indy's hat is at it's dirtiest, it looks like a dark tan rather than brown. Personally, I think that's just an excuse to buy a nice non-Indy hat!

You have chosen wisely.

Anyone have a pic of the fawn, and/or a fawn beside a dark brown Fed IV?

Thanks Dave,
for once I just followed the directions that HD sent with the hat.
Held the brim flat on my chest, and pushed in the dent inwith the palms of my hands.
Worked like a treat.

Wow! Indiana Holt that's one of my favourite views of the SoC hat - your hat looks fantastic

you've really captured the look.

Is that the reg fed 4 or is it the deluxe?

Post by **Holt** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 8:43 am

Who made it?

Post by **Holt** » Fri Jul 17, 2009 5:26 pm

its made by my good friend Indiana G, he gave it to me as a present. lucky me...

this one. but it has nothing to do with a federation, so therefor its of topic.

Nice hat but I really love the beaten up SOC look. Your fed 4 deluxe captures that well worn look.

Any other fed 4 deluxe pics?

Different angles?

Outdoor lighting?

wow! your're great! I did'nt thought could do something like this with a Fed4..how did you bash it?

Post by **Holt** » Sat Jul 18, 2009 6:44 pm

with a lot of TLC.

I used very, very long time on this hat. Did everyhting you can imagine just to beat it up and make it limp like the soc hat, then start working on the bash STEP by STEP. using very little water and steam. and few clothes pinches... then beat it up again....

Snapbrim76 · Post by **Snapbrim76** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 12:35 pm

my Fed Deluxe 4 arrived today!!!!! I've managed to get a near perfect Raiders bash from it. It's such a good Indy hat, really captures the Indy feel so much more than my original Fed. I'm gonna have to put some pics up in the fed 4 thread.

@Indiana holt: your hat has some competition now

DR Ulloa · Post by **DR Ulloa** » Mon Jul 20, 2009 2:56 pm

ost some pics in the Federation IV thread. I want to see this crease!

No you really shouldn't be! It's a beautiful hat. But I'm getting better at bashing.

Where did you go, Snapbrim76?

Snapbrim76 · Post by **Snapbrim76** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 7:16 am

Sorry I'm having some real problems with my laptop - it won't charge! I'm typing this from my iPod touch... frustrating!

I still haven't worked out how to get my photos from my phone to my iPod.

Maybe I could send them in an email?

Help anyone?

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:00 am

Or you could plug in your laptop instead of using the battery.

Snapbrim76 · Post by **Snapbrim76** » Fri Jul 24, 2009 8:21 am

Nothing happens happens when I plug it in - that's the problem
