Post by doppelganger »

Nothing like that feeling when you lay eyes on the hat after opening the box...

The Fed 4 is an awesome looking hat. Does anyone know how much this hat will taper over time? A lot? A little?

My experience with the Akubras is that taper is fairly minimal. It depends how wet it gets, and how you treat it, but they hold pretty well.
