My Akubra Federation IV

Post by Bogie1943 »

I've owned this lid for many years now. It is the second Fed I have owned. Recently worked on the shape and look and wanted to get some opinions.

Here it is in three angles.

Hahahaha they may not be machine washable but they surely can be packed in a suitcase for probably 15 hours.

It's a standard Fed. I have yet to own a deluxe. Wouldn't mind one however. For the money it is a rather durable lid.
