Are you lookking for a quality Indiana Jones hat ?
I'm selling my Akubra Federation IV that I bought about three years ago. It's made of imperail quality rabbit fur. The color is brown
It is size 58cm (Mediaum) or 7 1/8 (UK) or 7 1/4 (USA)
I actually hardly wore it. Maybe just for a week. This was my first hat and I realized very quickly that it does not really fit the shape of my head (damned!!).
The hat is in very good conditions. in fact, it has not even been completly creased. I actually don't really know how to crease a hat myself.
I have put the hat on eBay if you are interested. FYI I'm located in France and will ship it internationally

Many years ago we were contacted by both Indiana Jones fans and hat collectors who wanted a genuine pre World War 2 fedora.
Hats from this era were generally taller and had fuller crowns than the hats of today. Most were sold as "Open Crown" hats with the pre creased styles becoming more popular after WW2.
Please note this is an "Open Crown" hat which is not pre shaped to any particular look.
Hatsdirect and Akubra Hats, together set about creating a new hat, selecting an older set of hat blocks we believe date back to the 1920's. Advice from Mark Cross (Indygear.com) and Steve Delk (the hat maker for the latest Indiana Jones movie, Adventurebuilt) have assisted with the final result. The blocks used for this hat are original wooden blocks made by Akubra Hats. They have no pre determined shape. At no stage do we make any claim that this hat is a replica of the Indiana Jones hat as used in the movies. This hat has been made on a set of older hat blocks, and has been left in an "open crown" state allowing customers to shape according to their desire.
The Federation comes "Open Crown" ready for you to shape.
Crown height is 5 5/8ths inches. Made from an original wooden hat block set which have not been used for over 35 years.
The brim is dimensional cut to 2 1/2" on the sides and 2 3/4" front and back. This is converted to mm's on the order page. The brim flange is a little flatter than the previous Federation model and will make styling the brim easier. This hat can take on a number of styles including a look similar to the Indiana Jones hat and other hats from that era.
The color is Dark Brown otherwise known as Loden in Akubra Hats.
The finish on the standard Federation is the same as it has been, we have decided to keep the hat as low priced as possible, offering what we believe is one of the best value "open crown" hats available on the market.
Akubra have built their reputation onthe Imperial Quality felt, by comparing it to the deluxe model, in no way should this be regarded as an inferior product. For those commencing hat wearing and open crown hats we recommend this as the ideal starting point.
