If Indiana Jones had a MacBook bag

I will miss my monthly trips into his store, and I'll be up there at the end of the month. It's the small businesses that get hurt the most.

Aaron Hats out of North Conway, New Hampshire has closed it doors (maybe this past March?) Packed and gone, no announcement, no note on the door. Looks like they still are taking orders online, though.

Aztec

"I had it my hand Marcus, in my hand...!" Good grab Indiana Green, it suits you very well!

Aztec

I picked up this bag, but the strap was just plain brown-
http://www.sierratradingpost.com/i/5480 ... r-Bag.html

It's large enough and matches the idea of an Indy bag.

Aztec

I'm looking at one on target.com and it look reasonable, but how big is it? Can it hold a laptop? It looks a little narrow. Thanks...

Aztec

With all the advice, I seem to be back to an original problem. A nice sage/fern green hat, but not Stetson. Any thoughts?

Aztec

Thanks for the info. I do have a FED III, but I was looking to get away from Brown, and I'm not a fan of gray, so the Stetson Sage looked nice.

Aztec

I did a search, and I know some are not to keen on Stetson Fedoras. I found a Sage green Stetson Temple and was considering it, but it's a pretty good chunk of change. Is it worth it?

Aztec

I'm jealous of the snow. Here in Bay Area, california we don't really get much of it.

Be careful what you wish for... Here in NH, we got 122 inches this winter... ouch.

Aztec

After loving my Fed regular size 59 for almost two years now, I was wondering if it is really worth it to purchase the FED IV? Is the difference big enough to warrant the purchase? I would consider buying the FED IV reg. From those who have the new one and old one, it would be a great help to hear. ...

Aztec

Thanks!

Aztec

silly question- what color is moonstone?

1 Akubra Federation reg
1 Blazer hunting hat (All Indy except for the leather band)
1 Orvis crushable wool felt fedora shrunk to the size of my 4 year old's head.
1 Indiana Jones Baseball Cap purchased 7 years ago at MGM.

neat site by the way!

Don't get me wrong about the sports jersies, I have a number of soccer shirts that I wear, and I wear a fedora (never together... that would be weird :? ), but I think we all wear "gear" to fit a mood we're in. The subject has been broached before about how much gear is too much, but even ...

Aztec

It strikes me as funny, sometimes, to see people walking around in their sports gear as if a games going to break out in the mall or they're just waiting for a call from Bill Belichick. Those people wearing the jersies are emulating teams or people they like. I wear the fedora because it is a good f...

Not sure if someone has posted it, but it gave me a chuckle...

sorry for the long address

Aztec

Congrats and an awesome clip! This film is getting me so excited, and to watch the clip and see how much importance the hat is to the story, just makes it cool to be a gear head.

Aztec

I won't lie, I always did like Bernstein's style. If Indiana Jones were to choose his clothes today, I bet it would not be too far off what Bernstein picked as his "uniform" for DFT.

Aztec

Isn't this alternate indy?

Aztec

So how do you clean up a fedora? Will rain do the trick?

Aztec

Let's say that you just happen to drop your nice fur felt fedora on a bar floor and beer happens to get spilled on it... now what? Consider this as a premptive strike as it has not happened yet, but it could...

Aztec

Once you start wearing that hat on a regular basis, you'll feel as though it was made with your head in mind. I remember when I first put on the Akubra I felt as though I had put on a sombrero, but after time, I couldn't picture myself without it. Congrats on the new hat, and wear it proudly!

Aztec

Thank you all for the advice. I think I am again happy with the shape of the hat, just in time for some good old New England Fall weather.

Aztec

I just looked at the pic, the front is 4 1/4 inches, and the back is 3 1/2.

Aztec

Oak, Is this what you're looking for?

Nice! another New Hampshirite!

Aztec

I actually used (I believe it was Page's tutorial -Pages' Pagey's ?), but maybe I need to start again. With such a deep center dent, when I put it on it pushes up and out which increases the width of the dent. I don't know how Ford did it? I look at some of the photos supplied from the film and it s...

Aztec

I was wondering when I was reshaping it, if I was making the dent too deep. Should I push it out a bit? Thanks for the compliment about that last pic Bink, I was happy that my eyes were at leat visible. Usually when I smile they disappear. Anyway. I have enjoyed a few good fine fedoras, but I think ...

Aztec

Well... I guess it's a success. I wet it down and reshaped it last night and then let it dry. Here are some more pics. I also stuck one of me in there-I hope you like the Indiana Jones exact replica shirt... :shock: http://i92.photobucket.com/albums/l27/cmetka/august23-37.jpg http://i92.photobucket....

Aztec

The center dent is what is bothering me, because it did not start out that way, maybe it's that I wear it too low? or I have a ginormous head :lol: ? I just wonder if a spray bottle will bring it back to a center dent I can live with. It's almost becoming a teardrop all on its own. Incidently, I act...

Aztec

Lets see if these pics work... As you can see by the images, these are prior to any re-bashing attempts.

Aztec

Thanks for the welcome! I was quite intimidated by the open crown, but with the tutorials I found on line, I felt a little more comfortable. This was my first open crown and first "real" Fedora ( I've had a number of wool ones that I still love), but I didn't want to mess up. The more I re...

Aztec

Thanks for the quick reply. Is this a reblocking or just a rebashing that I'd be asking for? I know this thread needs pics (I'm working on it), so I know I am asking a blind question.

Aztec

I've owned a Federation regular for about a year and have worn it through the best and worst of New England weather. My question is this : How hard is it to reshape an already bashed and beaten Federation? I have been admiring pics of current Federation owners and then look at mine and realize that ...
