Question about a Fed4

[sallah4]

I have a fed4 but don't know if it is a deluxe or other wise. I got it from a friend and I didn't aske him. How can you tell?

[Chewbacca Jones]

It should say somewhere inside the hat (sweatband or liner) if it's "Heritage" or "Imperial" quality. Heritage is the Deluxe.

[sallah4]

Its an imperial. Does it make a good raider's hat?

[Holt]

there is no difference in the shape. so either a H or I quality, the bash will be the same.

I personally like a alittle stiffer hat like the Heritage quality. but floppyness is raiders all the way.

if you have seen my fed 4 you will notice that a fed can make a good raiders hat.

Yeah... it's a "good" Raiders hat all right, Holt...


...assuming, of course, that when you say "good" you actually mean "pretty dang good"... or "just fine"... or even "downright alright"...


...of course, if you're anything like me, agreeing that you got a "good" Raiders hat out of the Fed4 is -to me- a bit like saying that Tarantino got a "good" performance out of Christoph Waltz.


(That is to say: QUITE GOOD!)

I have to agree with everyone here, the Fed 4 makes nice Raiders' hats. The color is dark, but the shape is great. Enjoy!!

Just wondering, is a Fed IV available only via hats direct or do they have a physical store in Australia? I have a cousin there and I might just ask her to ship one my way if possible.

On the Hats Direct website, if you click on the left column tab for "About Us", they say:

The Hattery
# is located just west of Sydney, Australia, in the World Heritage listed Blue Mountains at Katoomba.
# is open 7 days a week, for visitors to our shop and on line customers

http://hatsdirect.com/help/about.html
Their physical address is also listed at the bottom of that page, as well as phone numbers.

Best wishes,

Is there a difference in the color of the two felt types?

Your fed is the older Akruba Fed 3 - it is their older block shape....

[sallah4]

Well c3 if you would have told me that I wouldn't have had to post this.

[binkmeisterRick]

I got it from a friend and I didn't aske him.

I suppose you could have asked?
