The Penitent Man

The Lid Looks just like the the one on cover of the Indy Dvd Trilogy...Awesome

The Penitent Man

That CS GRAY is a beaut!!

The Penitent Man

Thanks SC
It's true the brim does hide it well

The Penitent Man

Well Steve and IndyMagnoli have both contacted me about the hat, I still do not understand how my request for a Raiders hat turned into a TOD. Both parties want to get this corrected but I will not wait another 7 months. Here are a few pictures. Picture 1 is the hat straight out of the box. http://...

The Penitent Man

Very Nice!!

The Penitent Man

Will do Dan,
I bought one of the bay..should be here by next week
Thanks always and Share I will

The Penitent Man

I wasnt that big of a fan of ghost rider myself CD!!

Dan...you say a 5% solution of hydrogen peroxide in water works works well.. could you give me a more detailed answer...i.e. ratio of water to peroxide...method of application and removal of stain..etc.

Thank you Again in advance!!!

The Penitent Man

Yeah i'll try to keep from catching fire michaelson!!!...hopefully my hat enthusiasm wont cause spontaneous combustion!!

VP...classic comeback!!

The Penitent Man

I wont fret...I appreciate all the feedback the members of the board have provided....I want that book Dan suggested as Im having difficulty finding a copy...Maybe I'll take a gasoline bath myself while Im waiting

The Penitent Man

Dan is the Man!!!!

Thanks so much...you always pop up with useful and insightful responses...why aren't u making hats?

The Penitent Man

Thank you Dan!!
Now im Intrigued to find that book...I hope it's still in print!!....Until then I'll try the peroxide and see where the lid takes me
Thanks Again
The Penitent Man

The Penitent Man

wow...naphta...i think id rather never wear the hat again and leave the stain (although that completely negates the point of buying an AB apparently)...but I appreciate the tip

Oak...thanks for offering assistance..i will post a pic when im home....even without a pic though...whats ur two cents?

The Penitent Man

Hello All, Let me write a preamble...please dont respond to this post with "Stains add Character, leave it alone" as I dont take this standpoint. I've had my CS AB for about 4-5 months and wore it on a warm 50 degree day in NYC....much to my chagrin...when I took it off i noticed there was...

The Penitent Man

I guess it's a matter of choice...I despise the turn...it's just goofy to me and that's my taste... I like symetrical hats....I feel character comes after wear anyway with good quality hats That's why Im dumping my Mag HJ...Its a nice hat...but with the turn, I would rather see it go to someone who...

The Penitent Man

Just havin a lil fun with ya Oak.....I know vendor is a title for "true fan who decided to do it" and you do it very well. Thanks to everyone for the compliments.....as one of you said my smile tells you how much I appreciate my AB. Im not in the business of sucking up to People, Too fake ...

The Penitent Man

I think Oak's reason for making hats is to provide him with money to buy more AB's..LOL

The Penitent Man

To be clear about "clapping the crown"...i believe steve mentioned it in a post to someone because thier CS appeared to lose taper during shipping. I'd asked Steve what was the story with Baron Hats and thier involvement with the production of CS and that's when we got on the topic of how ...

The Penitent Man

I didn't want to say it but it's my favorite CS AB I've seen yet as well....It is a little darker in person,I've worn it everyday since I got it...I LOVE THIS HAT LIKE YOU COULDNT BELIEVE!!! Glad u guys love it as much as I do!!! Only The Penitent Man will pass!!!!!?...HAHAHAHA Like dogs...all AB's ...

The Penitent Man

Thanks for the compliments on my lid;..."junior"

The Adult in me does what he has to do...

but i'll take the advice of an older kid like you and never let the kid in me die...i refuse!!!

yeeeaah...it looks just like indy when you look at the shadow on the car....HAHAHAHAHA!!

The Penitent Man

I sound concerned right?...yet sometimes I wanna throw it on the ground outside; pick it up as it scrapes across the cement and watch my shadow put it on like Harrison in CS Scene 1 (I'd bet at least half of you have already done it!!) :H: I can still feel like a lil kid after 30 years!!!...Who care...

The Penitent Man

Kt Templar...glad you dont see an ant hill in sight for me...that was the exact scene i was reffering to!....Thanks for the compliments my friend Oak...I see where you have a point...at least with Beaver felt...i just watched harrison in an online featurette practicing the motion we speculate to be ...

The Penitent Man

Thanks my friend...now if i could only figure out the pic size to make the pic of it on my head work as my avatar!!...Ive reduced the photo to the size of a pea and it still keeps getting dumped for size issues!!

The Penitent Man

I got this about four months ago from Steve. I absolutely love the hat In person it looks like the hat harrison wore in some of the photoshoots that weren't heavily re-creased. Steve said to make the hat screen accurate to clap the crown and re-crease it Any time I popped out a bash on previous hats...

The Penitent Man

Hey Alfonso,
Id rather buy a few boxes.....why not?
Time is money...so either way i pay...id rather save the time at this point!!!
If you could get me the info on these boxes that would be great
PM me or Post it...whatever works for you
Many Thanks,
Joe

The Penitent Man

Hey Alfonso,
If you could forward me the info on those boxes it would be much appreciated my friend...I dont mind paying the shipping cost...the box is only 4 bucks
Thanks for your help

The Penitent Man

The box MustangLoverMex showed is just the type Im looking for...where can you get a box like that for a hat with a five and three quarters crown!!...

Im not into those vaccuform cases personally

The Penitent Man

those were along the lines I was thinking Oak...I've looked around on the net....havent come up with the right box....maybe I'll inquire to optimo about thier "Nice Black Hatboxes"...if they still have em

The Penitent Man

I want a nice hat box to store my Lid in...who's got good boxes like those black optimo boxes Fedora mentioned in the John Williams thread?.... I saw hat boxes at JJ hats but they're too short to keep the high crown of an indy fedora housed!! im not looking for a time capsule here!!!...just a sturdy...

The Penitent Man

Bending Oak...you do make a sweet hat bro...and you have great taste in lids

The Penitent Man

Thank you all...no wonder why the old hatter at JJ hats grabbed my arm when he told me to place the hat with the crown on the tabletop

!!!!

The hat now sits on the table with its crown resting on it....I LOVE THIS HAT...and dont want to see it loose its mojo!!!

The Penitent Man

Chewie
Thanks for the input..where d o i get this hat rest?

The Penitent Man

Seriously Bending Oak?...U think a coat rack is the best way to go? (I dont exactly have that much free table space for the alternatives!!)

The Penitent Man

I went to a hatter and had my Mag HJ stretched (No issues)...the hatter complimented me on the quality of the hat, and instructed me to rest the crown of the hat on a tabletop when not being worn. I've heard so many different views on this...Hat Rests....Face up with the brim hanging over the table,...

The Penitent Man

Oh.sorry Bending Oak ..well it does look like a helluva nice lid!!!....I figure...After watching the featurette on idiana Jones.Com on the Hats...and seeing how sturdy and beautiful the AB's were when Ford was handling them...the price just didnt become an issue anymore. I want the real deal that i ...

The Penitent Man

I guess the ABD is the winner...now to plunk down the dough and play the waiting game......thanks for the pics of the Penman CS Bending Oak...nice hat my friend.

"14 Months"....Marc's wait time is that long?....I figured by now the Movie Buzz tapered off?

The Penitent Man

The best hat I have ever put my hands on, is my ABD from Marc. That's why, after my first ABD, I have ordered three more from him (not including the "Henry" I ordered too) since then. There are plenty of hat makers out there that have been doing it forever but have very little exposure. M...

The Penitent Man

Thanks Bending Oak....u got a pic of your AB deluxe?.....would love to see a CS bash shot as thats the one im feelin

The Penitent Man

Is that an AB you're wearing in your Avatar Indy89?...Awesome lid!!!

The Penitent Man

Hello, Any input would be greatly appreciated Is there any difference between an AB or AB Deluxe other than they are created by different hatters on different parts of the globe? I know they both use the same blocks,ribbons, liners and sweats...but are there differences in the Beaver felt and treatm...

The Penitent Man

I give the HJ an 8. I've created other types of props and prosethetic makeups unrelated to Indiana Jones..so I have an eye for detail...and So does Frdora..he detail the crown right down to the mishapen nature of the Raiders Hat. When I opened the box I was puzzled. :roll: I thought i was accidental...

The Penitent Man

I hope your summer is going well. Wanted to let you know that my Magnoli is holding up very well and is a great piece of headwear. I was just wondering if you received my brothers magnoli HJ that I sent back because of a size issue. I enclosed a note with my shipping info and the correct size and ba...

The Penitent Man

Thank you very much Mark,
I appreciate your advice and help, I think i can handle it,,,,,Ive done alot of prop/costume work in other genres so im not unfamiliar to artistic mediums.
Thanks again

The Penitent Man

I Love how it looks....where do i get one!!

The Penitent Man

JP,
It's good to know there's a good hat stiffener out there that is available in small quantities, giving the crown more body was just what i had in mind.......................

The Penitent Man

Wouldnt stifffer hold the bash a little better?...and as far as the ribbons composition...only Fedora could tell you, He calls it the vintage HJ Ribbon or Nigerian Brown...thats all I know So which stiffener would be a prime candidate if i went in that direction and where could i obtain it? As far a...

The Penitent Man

I have a Mag HJ, I love the hat but wish it was more of a sturdy hat, the felt is ultra soft and if you blow on the bash its outta whack. Id like to take the hat to JJ hats and have some stiffener added Question:..Will the addition of Stiffener discolor the ribbon or hat? Also the hat is a bit snug....

The Penitent Man

A Photo of mine...ordered May 24th...arrived July 10th...I asked for SOC. Be prepared to rework the bash when you open the Box, it poped out during shipping, you wont need to steam it up, just work it with your fingers (Mod edited for size) http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn70/jforestano/IMG_0417...

The Penitent Man

WOW!!!...Looks Great!!
