Carbon Grey Fed IV?
Anyone have any photos of the Fed IV in carbon grey they could share? I just received my brown Fed IV reg (superb hat) which will be my outdoors/hiking hat. Looking to add a grey hat for daily wear to work, etc. Lots of photos of the Moonstone hat but I couldn't find any of the carbon grey.
Thanks

I know that Hats Direct has a photograph on their website. And I do remember guys at The Fedora Lounge talking about their Carbon Grey Federations -- though might be Fed III not Fed IV. As I recall, Carbon Grey is the same color as "charcoal" used on the Sydney model, and there are photographs of the Sydney floating around.
Dark Grey
David Morgan -- US Akubra Distributor -- has many of the Akubra colors shown on the website. Of course one always has the problem of judging what sort of light was used when the color samples were taken. But it might help.
Anyway the Carbon Grey is most suitable to wear with navy, black, and various grays/greys, so "bluish" would be a desirable trait.

Hence my reason for asking I don't think my wife cares for my beat-up brown lid when it comes to going out for dinner, etc.YARVTON wrote:Anyway the Carbon Grey is most suitable to wear with navy, black, and various grays/greys, so "bluish" would be a desirable trait.

THAT'S VERY HELPFUL! I think the color is terrific -- more "formal" than Moonstone, yet clearly not "black-hat" Black.
