Just got a new pair of Parkhurst Niagara boots, they’d made a great Alden Indy alternative if you’re looking to wear them regularly as well as for cosplay. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230907/6164b547bb064f6eb3f6a59f7c40455b.jpg https://www.parkhurstbrand.com/collections/fall-winter-23 Sent f...

Those Parkhurst Niagara boots DO look great. But at $400, they're still pretty pricey. Definitely still a nice chunk of change, but a pair of Alden Indys in Chromexel, with a similar outsole, will set you back between $650-700. I’m also local to western New York where parkhurst originated, so for m...

Just an FYI, the main site fedora page has just been updated (had to wait for Disney approval) with some interesting tidbits on the DoD hat. :TOH: We'll be allowed to share more here in the "members only" section than what we could on a public-facing page, but I'm going to wait until I co...

Congrats, guys! Thanks for posting those pics! This is so cool! I’m sure a lot of us would love to know, what are the measurements at the front of the brim and the sides of the brim? How tall is the crown? On my 58 the front of the brim measures 2.75”, sides measure 2.5”, and the crown is 4.5” at t...

I got mine yesterday as well. I also ordered the standard version from Swaine the day they went live, and was pleasantly surprised to discover I still got the signed certificate of authenticity.

That’s sounds a like a reasonable waiting time! Thanks a lot for the comparison picture! The hat looks so good and I love that it looks totally Indy but with a unique twist. It also looks like it has a slight reverse taper, what a great looking hat! I was ready to wait 6+ months! I’m just floored b...

Fantastic hat, congrats! Did you get the Special Edition? What was your turnaround time like?

Congrats! That one looks awesome! :TOH: I really dig the colour and the deep sable ribbon is beautiful! Thanks! The colors of both the felt and ribbon are so different from my others.

I realize there really is not much to go on here, but anyone have any ideas of which oxfords Indy wears with his suit in Dial of Destiny?

Please, just what is cowboy curl? Any pics here? Couldn't find any. And, if it's what I think, how could I get rid of it? This scene comes to mind first. The sides of the brim are especially curled up here. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20211126/6004376348b86f05bee7d0b279fa5e13.jpg Sent from my ...

It was curious to see the color difference in the ribbon on the ToD hat vs Adam’s AB. Is that due to the wrong color on AB or because the ToD hat is much older? The original Raiders and Temple ribbons were slightly different hues to begin with. Raiders is the darkest brown with Temple and Crusade h...

KhanVader

While we are on the subject, I'm not so sure that every hat that Harrison wore in Raiders had the turn. Certainly, there are scenes where the turn is very obvious, such as the Idol Grab, Raven Bar, and Streets of Cairo. But in the opening scenes of the film when he uses his whip to disarm his hired...

KhanVader

If you’ve got a favorite scene in Raiders maybe go for how the hat looks there? Just an idea. When it comes to a Raiders look you can’t go wrong in my opinion. Turn, or otherwise [emoji1783][emoji1303]

It definitely is tempting. Someone’s going to have to pick one up, you know, for science.

From just a brief gander I’d say it definitely looks a bit too short and tapered.

I’d bet they’re not great. Just sort of a fun novelty to grab if you’re in the shop and pick up a jacket. From the website they just look like cheap costume hats. And hey that’s enough for some people.

Well my Gary White hat is now on my head. So far I'm really enjoying it, felt is finished very well and it fits great. The beaver felt is nice and thin, and the color of the felt and ribbon is just what I had in mind. The bash is much more Temple of Doom than I expected but thats okay by me. The hat...

It's a fine looking hat Jerrod! It certainly looks LC to me especially with the lighter brown ribbon. :tup: Brian Thanks Brian!

I just got a Screencapped LC style hat from Brian and it is *superb.* Honestly the block shape is perfect, the felt is the softest I have ever experienced and yet tough, the ribbon is on-point, and the sweatband is incredibly comfortable. The quality is top-notch, and the attention to detail is bey...

KhanVader

What I like best about all this is you're keeping a local craftsman employed. WELL done!!! :clap: HIGH regard! Michaelson That is 100% why I chose Gary over all the other Indy hat makers. There are without a doubt more accurate hats out there of equal quality, but the fact that he's literally a 10 ...

To be honest, I’ve never even seen a Gary White hat.

Thanks for the insight fellas’ when talking to him in his shop he said he was ‘involved with the hats in Last Crusade’ seemed sort of careful not to say he made Ford’a hat in the film haha.

I dont know where I read this, it could even be all in my head but I thought that all hats have a 5 1/2 inch crown. They just look different due to the different hat blocks and the different bash on each hat. BUT thats based only on a vague memory, I do however know for a fact that the official Herb...
