Contrast this with new, unused, pristine? There is no back story, no history in that that look, only a story that remains telling.

Thanks folks, Trigger pulled. Went for Beaver/Rabbit blend. Crystal Skull style in Sable. The Raiders sable just seemed too red for me. Now I play the waiting game.

Re: Was the Raiders fedora intentionally made poorly?
One more factor I'd like to toss into the mix for you folks to mull over..... The thought process regarding items like jackets between U.S. vendors and European vendors is quite different. Peter once told me he NEVER understood the mind set of the U. S. buyer, as 'we' want items that will survive a...

...Enjoy! My first order was the same except in Raiders Sable. The regular sable is excellent as well. I believe all of the Harrisons are without the Turn. If I recall correctly, the only way to get a Harrison with the Turn to order Open Crown and bash it yourself. Also there are several scenes whe...

Re: Ralfy wants a hat! Fed IV or Advintage Harrison?
Hats are meant to be worn. Boots are meant to be worn. Jackets are meant to be worn. Yeah, if you are intending on just a conversation piece I would spend less. If you want rock solid wear, you have many options. Absolutely! But don't we all have a jacket, a pair of shoes or a shirt that we bought ...

If you have the means for custom, there's no reason you should even consider an Akubra. ..... Akubra/Hats direct could make nicer hats, they just don't feel the higher price point is worth the extra labor ("we have decided to keep the hat as low priced as possible... ") I've often made th...

Well I ordered a Harrison Raiders full bunny variant from Advintage :lol: .

Re: Ralfy wants a hat! Fed IV or Advintage Harrison?
...... Agreed on both. With your and DavidD's comments I am swaying towards the Harrison. Also agreed on the second statement. OTOH, you get to an area of diminshing returns. I like value for money. That works 2 ways. For not much more than the beaver mix Harrison one can get a Steele and Jones or ...

Coincidental that you should post this now ..... On my size 61 head, the Fed IV Deluxe (in dark brown), despite my attempts all summer long to wear it a lot and to shape it slowly, looks, to my eye, like an "old man's hat" rather than a jaunty adventurer's hat. Because of your size requir...

Hullo folks new member here. Like many I fell in love with the Indiana Jones hat way back when. I thought to myself "I would love a hat like that" but never thought I would actually be able to find one. Had a couple of so-so leather hats that never really fit too well and certainly did not...
