Thank you! The real treasure was all the Pinot Noir we tried at the different vineyards! :lol: The hat certainly feels far more lived in after this trip, has it’s own character now….i like to think it’s still Last Crusade looking but with it’s own twist to it.

Couple more pics from our trip to Washington State and Oregon! This Fed got heat, cold and drenched two times in a row and it just feels more comfortable. And is a little cleaner now!

Hobbit Fedora

Thank you, it’s a trip sorely needed!!!

Hobbit Fedora

Took my Fed 4 Deluxe on another adventure! My wife took these pics up in the Mt Rainer National Park two days back.

Hobbit Fedora

Hear, Hear, thank you very much for an awesome hat!!!

Hobbit Fedora

Thank you very much, very appreciated!

Hobbit Fedora

Thank you! It was a hot day, so that helped….so did the gin!

Hobbit Fedora

Honestly don’t remember if I ever posted these pics, but when my wife was busy putting plants on our patio I thought, “well that looks Ciaroey” and grabbed the hat.

Thank you! We were going for a sort of Cottagecore World Traveler look. Nothing like a LC fedora to pull that off!

My LC Fed 4 Deluxe helped to keep me looking worthy to be next to Mrs Hobbit the other day.

Hobbit Fedora

D$&n, lookin’ good! You nailed that bash perfectly!

Hobbit Fedora

So much comes down physiology. Mine’s a size 59 and after the bashing the crown’s roughly 5 in tall. If I lower the crown any more it starts to look like those zoot suit inspired low crowned-wide brimmed 1940s fedoras…at least on me. Being 5’2” I’ve discovered I really need to keep that crown high a...

I have to smile when you mentioned the concurrent Swing Dance craze because I was right there in the thick of it, as a saxophonist mostly, and I would’ve given a lot for a good ‘30s style fedora. But what’s even more fun from an Indiana Jones perspective is my life long obsession with jazz started b...

Indy_StillLife_small.jpg My offering Great stuff!! I realised that I’d not posted a pic up here of the Raiders seaplane I got from Herbert Johnson a short while back! Apologies! https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20221228/d95f2df653384b9c526f14560bbb1ae0.jpg Looking good! Very jealous of that hat, th...

Hobbit Fedora

Posted this in the “What I Wore Today” thread, but it belongs here too I think, a Moonstone Fed IV I typically wear to work or anywhere requiring me to be a little more dressed up…or when brown doesn’t work as well with my daily outfit. It was originally meant to be a Clipper but I think it’s happie...

My offering

Awesome setup!

Hobbit Fedora

Absolutely! Thank you guys for helping to make the Feds happen, I have two in brown and moonstone and they’re fantastic! Especially for those of us who want something quality and very close to being screen accurate….but also have a budget

Hobbit Fedora

Look’s great! Hope you had fun time!

Hobbit Fedora

But for hiking I always go with my Andrea Tognarelli hat. It seems more rugged, I love that the felt is softer AND it stays on my head really well, so the wind doesn't blow it away. It's great for bike riding, too! :D Cheers, Bear How durable do you find your Tognarelli? I’ve been considering him f...

Hobbit Fedora

Didn’t the Raider’s hat have no liner, or was it simply lost between filming and when it showed up for auction a couple years ago?

Hobbit Fedora

Such an amazing experience, sounds like a great time! Have to ask, how often did you catch your silhouette in shadow and hear the theme song? Also, did you find the hat to be good in all the heat?

Hobbit Fedora

In general my Akubra Fed 4 is my go to adventuring and travel hat and have found it works great. I usually tuck it under the seat in front on top of my carry-on (I’m 5 ft 2, never thought much about foot space). Or it sits on the back seat during road trips. As many have said one great thing about A...

Hobbit Fedora

First and foremost, in terms of quality alone, HJs made since Michelle Poyer-Sleeman took over as Master Hatter are incredibly well made. The materials are top of the line, and the craftsmanship is top notch. Virtually flawless, to be honest. And the durability is well above average. For context, I...

Posted this in the “What I Wore Today” thread too but always happy to spread the Fed 4 love. A rainy Florida night at the portico of an Italian restaurant! I always feel the brim is too wide but I kind of the love the protection.

Hobbit Fedora

Great job, looking really nice, especially the crown! And you will be tweeting it as long as you own it

That is a great color too, looks like it would be at home on the Venice Pier or maybe a certain club in Casablanca. Either way looks perfect for summer.

Hobbit Fedora

Thanks!

It’s been getting better with age.

Hobbit Fedora

When the rainy day outside gives your Fed just the right lighting…

Hobbit Fedora

Yeah, can’t wait! And let the rain help, it took a snow storm to get my Fed’s brim just so.

Hobbit Fedora

Congrats on a truly beautiful fedora, post all the pictures you’d like!!! I’m sorely tempted by the Seaplane in rabbit, I’ve heard Herbert Johnson’s rabbit felt is really good.

Hobbit Fedora

The thread’s about the HJ Temple fedora and it’s somehow reminded me that I’ve been wanting Stetson Jaxon

Hobbit Fedora

Too wide a ribbon for an “Indy”? Perhaps ever so slightly. It looks nice in and of itself though. Gives it good vintage flair. Actually, looking at that picture it gives me “close enough” Young Indy Chronicles vibe, especially if you can push the back of the crown up a little.

Hobbit Fedora

Hmmm….I’ll have to check that posting, 59 is my size!

Hobbit Fedora

The SOC hat to me looks really awesome….in context. For a hat to wear everyday though I think it mostly will look like you’re walking around with a hat in desperate need of some TLC. So, great for cosplay or display (or on a hiking tail perhaps, to be fair) but for a general purpose every day hat I ...

Hobbit Fedora

Especially with that grey color, chief’s kiss!

Hobbit Fedora

In the world of marketing it wouldn’t surprise me at all if the Stetson Temple was based on a hat Stetson made for the movie but wasn’t strictly identical. Same color and overall dimensions but simplified for mass production, ie: finding a pre-shaped block that more or less conformed to the shape th...

Hobbit Fedora

“Intentionally Indy”…there’s an outfitters to shop at!

Hobbit Fedora

The Stetson Temple isn’t a bad looking hat in and of itself, but to call it a true Indy-style hat is a little…optimistic. I see a more or less 50’s style with a dimensional brim. I’d love it to death if a relative gave me one for Christmas but it would never replace my Fed 4 as my intentionally Indy...

Hobbit Fedora

Thanks for the link! Man, with a purple liner no less, absolutely gorgeous!

Hobbit Fedora

Thank you, that’s good to know

I have to applaud and curse Herbert Johnson for that Seaplane Poet, such great looking hat that I guess I’m going to have to save up for! Would you happen to have any pictures?

Hobbit Fedora

Honestly it only looks bad to me because the brim is proportionally way to wide for the crown. Smaller brim and the crown would look great, very Bogart. Though for a “safari” style fedora, yeah I’d prefer big crown, big brim.

Hobbit Fedora

Does anyone have any experience/pictures of the Seaplane Poet by any chance? I’ve been considering scrounging and saving for one (in rabbit, couldn’t justify the expense of the beaver). As much as I’d like the LC Poet something about the Seaplane just calls to me. However, if I can really only affor...

Hobbit Fedora

Been eyeing a tawny as well, congrats! It looks like a beautiful summer color, can’t wait to see some pictures!

Hobbit Fedora

True, I couldn’t even bring myself to do that to my Fed 4 Deluxe let alone an expensive piece like the Poet, probably why the one worn in the “Donovan Apt” scene in Last Crusade is my favorite, worn in but looked after. As far as Raiders goes I always liked the non-turned one worn on location in Haw...

Hobbit Fedora

Well said! Of course having one’s hat blocked on the same block would be cool, but if the block they have now gives the same shape then, well, that’s cool too in my book. It’s special to know Herbert Johnson took the time to research and back-engineer the Poets, a company like that didn’t have too a...

Hobbit Fedora

Love your reasoning! All reasons I would love to add a HJ to my wardrobe someday. Something about the heritage of it, not just to Indy but (in reference to the Poet) to the history of a hat style they’ve been making for over a century now. Sadly out of reach for me but hopefully someday!

Hobbit Fedora

Posted this elsewhere too but still very happy with the shot and how well the Fed iv deluxe works for LC/KoTCS

Hobbit Fedora

Thank you! And yes, a fine drink indeed

Hobbit Fedora

Couple of pics from my birthday last week with my Last Crusade Fed 4!

Hobbit Fedora

Oh, sorry, I think I miss read! If I’m not mistaken the right hand side of the SOC hat is slightly taller and straighter than the left hand side, likely a result of the turn- just like the slight zig-zag of the center dent on top. In other words, the hat wasn’t originally blocked with the turn so wh...
