HJ Sable Rabbit is what the original one was which is what I bought however I did upgrade mine to Beaver which is incredibly soft and looks and feels just perfect. The great thing about Beaver is it will last about 60 years if taken care of or maybe longer and is water resistant. Really is worth the...

I see what you are saying and agree. I guess I am meaning those that are pure of heart that think and believe what they are getting is the real deal or close to it is all. If you don't care it's one thing. Bought my Dad one of the authorized Indy Gear ones and looks alright enough. Didn't know or un...

Would be great if they had another Goonies movies with the original cast (that are still alive) (God rest Sloth!) and in part of the adventure they come across an old Indy hat and whip maybe just as a small passing part in the movie.

This is EXACTLY what keeps me from purchasing footwear online and especially Indy footwear for fear of the sizing being all wrong!

I don't mind them being cheap at all but what I think is horribly wrong is putting Indy's name on it and the hat doesn't look the slightest bit like Indy's fedora. This hat personifies that aside from it being brown bears no real resemblance. Make all the cheapies they want but at least have it look...

I'm sorry, even if they do have the licensing, they simply should NOT be allowed to produce and sell things that don't even slightly resemble a true Indy hat. Not saying it has to be expensive although my Herbert Johnson most certainly is the most expensive hat that I have ever or will purchase. The...

Most excellent! You need more company! I expect invites for all of us here next time! lol.

Tell me more about this Adventureland themed dinner! Sounds interesting and fun!

Makes me think that we are in the Matrix. Always some subtle screw ups in the programming... Wait, did you see that? That black cat just walked by twice!

Super Congratulations on your New HJ! I bought one last year and love it! I REALLY love the purple liner! I am kicking myself for not knowing this. I had mine upgraded to Beaver but wanted everything like the original. I would have definitely opted for the purple! My white one is showing some discol...

I have heard to the Mandella effect but have not heard about it spreading to Indy's hat! The one on the right reminds me of my Boonie hat a little bit. Riverboat Indy...Hahahaha. Love it!

Well as you can certainly see that opinions are in no shortage. Ultimately at least for me Herbert Johnson is indeed the Holy Grail as far as the older Indiana Jones movies go. They made them originally and made a lot of them. That is not to say that the other manufacturers are not equal and just as...

What a great idea! I have never thought of doing that for a helmet much less a hat! Always learning something new!

The person to ask is user: NoBadDates She can tell you anything you need to know. She is the resident Herbert Johnson expert. I should know because she made my hat! She is the tip top absolute best of the best! :TOH: Here is a link to her profile: http://indygear.com/cow/memberlist.php?mode=viewprof...

I really like the look of that one Jeff! Great hat!

Thank you for the info though! I have bookmarked them for a later date! .

...like when I win the lottery! hahaha

Those are expensive! Makes my Herbert Johnson Beaver Poet that I bought at over $740 usd seem tame in comparison to those prices! OUCH! ...for those prices they had best come with a absolutely free Bonita Señorita for life! LOL! Man, those are some pretty great hats but even as much as I love to spe...

Now THAT is a Grrrreat hat! How much was it if you do not mind me asking?

Although I am new here I have to say how truly impressed I am with the networking that you all have done here and the support! Every hat that I have seen are all truly great! Great comments and suggestions on how to change and alter things.

Tipping my Indy fedora to you all!

Always thought Belloq's hat was on the Panamanian side. Made of straw weave I believe? Shouldn't even be very expensive. Depending on what you consider expensive. Trilby, definitely. Can't think of the name of the place to get them. Anyone else? Not to say you cannot get one here in the U.S. but the...

I played with how I wear it. If I wear it less military formal meaning one finger above the eyebrow and tip it back about an inch then it not only makes me look friendlier but it also makes the crown look less tall. An optical illusion of course but it's amazing how the look and effect change depend...

Hey it looks grrrrrreat! You even have the stamp on the inside flap on yours whereas I do not! Enjoy!

That is an amazing whip! That is definitely on my must have list!

The ribbon per Herbert Johnson of London states that the Ribbon: Original 1½ inch dark brown galloon ribbon-band with screen accurate Raiders bow style. It's really up to you as to what you want to do. If you are not happy with it then do what makes you happy. Hopefully you will enjoy the outcome an...

I can confirm directly from Herbert Jones where I ordered my Beaver Poet that Harrison Ford's hat size during Raiders of the Lost Ark was 59.5cm coincidentally my same hat size. Keep in mind they use British Imperial as opposed to the United States which uses Imperial. We use inches and they use cen...

Here is a picture. Ignore the fat guy. lol. ...and yes, I am getting prepared for Halloween. No, not Trick-or-Treating but handing out candy. I always like to wear something different than everyone else. Only the parents might recognize it though. Ha! It was admittedly one heck of a lot more $$$ tha...

My hat size is 59.5 cm which I was told by the manager making my hat is the same exact size as Harrison Ford. I thought the crown seemed a bit high but it is a crown height of 5½ inches at a size 59cm. Brim: Dimensional (2¾" front & back, 2 ⅝" on sides) and the Ribbon: Original 1½ inch...

I just ordered this over a month ago from Herbert Johnson in Beaver instead of Rabbit and did it take forever. Took more time to get from U.S. Customs and U.S. Fish and Wildlife than to make it. I am enclosing several pictures of it so you can compare. ;) Mine I had made in Beaver which is the upgra...
