Well, I feel pretty bad that it's taking so much time to post wedding pics of my Fed so I took some generic stills to share with the group. Cuyahoga Boru was kind enuff to host the pics. I apologize that I dunno how to post them, so I have to supply the link.
This is my Fed Deluxe with a Cairo bash, performed by Fedora himself. Excellent work, if I do say so myself.
Great bash and good for you! Fedora keeps coming through!
It takes some time, but the color gets even better as it fades. I've had mine for about a year and a half and it's getting softer (a good thing) and the color shade has lightened nicely!!!
I also have the Federation Deluxe and I'm still in the process of breaking it in nicely. The really cool part is the box was mishandled on the way from Australia to my home in the United States, so the crown portion of the bash was complete before I even opened it. I just had to finish it up by bending the brim and doing the "palm-push" toward the front.
...my Wested arrives in just a short couple weeks.
