Fed / Fed Deluxe no more?

Post by dkwd »

A local store (H'Attitide) finally got the Akubra line. But in looking at Akubra's website I am unable to find the Federation or Federation Deluxe listed. Does Akubra still offer them?

The Federation and Fed Dlx are exclusive to Hatsdirect.com, I assume their storefront in Australia also carries them, but they are the only supply for those. There is another Akubra hat that fits the bill for an Indy hat, the Adventurer (yes, both Akubra and Christy's makes an "Adventurer" hat), but I think that hat is sold through David Morgan exclusively.

and I'm sure you'll find HD VERY competitive as far as prices go...

Hey Dkwd,

Darn, I wish I'd know about H'Attitude when I was in Winnipeg last fall, I looked in the yellow pages and didn't find anything. There are a couple of shops here in Ontario that carry Akubra, but as mentioned before, Hats Direct is way cheaper, including shipping from OZ, and you won't find the Federation models at your local dealer. I have a Fed III and IV from HD, fast delivery, good price and service.
