After listening to the podcast “the stuff dreams are made of” about the hats I am fully convinced there was not a Stetson used in TOD. Well worth the listen from people who own and have handled many screen used hats including in the archive.

Did some thinking about this. I had my new Akubra show up a few days ago. Hatsdirect measured it before sending and it was spot on the size I ordered. It fit better out of the box than the Advintage did. Noticeably better. My theory is the Advintage is made slightly oversized to account for shrinkag...

There was a hat sold a few years back by Profiles in History from Temple of Doom that was a Herbert Johnson. Supposedly screen matched as well. https://www.icollector.com/Harrison-Ford-Indiana-Jones-signature-screen-matched-fedora-hat-from-Indiana-Jones-and-the-Temple_i35088502" onclick="w...

I am sorry, I just don't buy that the color chocolate is 100% correct. Bare with me... In the truck chase the boots clearly have a red tone. In KOTCS they look the way they always have looked on film. They clearly were not making that chocolate color any longer. I genuinely thought maybe they were H...

I love my 405s. I have never gotten so many compliments on a pair of shoes/boots before. I am planning to pick up a set of 403s pretty soon.

Just was looking at my 405s as they sit on the floor of my office. Currently one of my led lights is out so it is only one bulb. Right now they look as brown as it gets. In light it is course not so much. So it got me thinking. Why is the general consensus that the current 405s aren't the correct co...

Thanks Jlee. That really looks pretty good. Whatever I get I plan to cut the brim down. Being 5’7 with a 55/56 hat size the brim can look a little big on these. Well except my HJ. Leaving that one alone. I didn’t include Fedoraraider cause I wasn’t sure he actually made hats or simple rebashed them....

Updated the list. I already have an HJ on order. I am looking for a cheaper option as well to beat up a bit that isnt the Akubra. Just not a fan of how dark it is out of the box. Advintage is out of my size in the Harrison or that would be my go to. Was going to get a Christys but have heard mixed r...

Which color is that?

Being a bit of a newbie (well gone for 10 years) I have been on the search for a hat. So far this is what I have found for CURRENT options. Anyone I missed? Accurate: Herbert Johnson Advintage Penman/ Hufvud Steele & Jones Andrea Tognarelli Screencapped Baron Hats Northwest hats Close enough: Ak...

I wanted to mention Hats Direct customer service. I bought a Fed IV brown deluxe a few months ago. Great hat. I did sell it off because the color just seems too dark for me personally. But with that said I may buy another one and make it more Crusade style. I did however order a carbon grey a few da...

I just sold mine less than a week after I got it. They do run big for sure. I ordered a 56 which was the same size as my Akubra which shrunk down pretty quick to probably a 55.5. It fit well with minimum padding. But that hat fit much better out of the box. Unfortunately the Harrison felt massive on...

...

Pretty sure it has not been released.

I am sorry but as of now I am happy I didn't go with a Penman. I rarely deny my customers requests when modifying the items I make. I also had reached out inquiring about an everyman and one of his "premade" hats on his website. Neither were available but my issue is his premade page shows...

I am not sure if the lockdown is affecting them much. I believe I read Michelle set up a workshop in her home.

I have plans to pick up the 40th anniversary along with a crusade this year. Their hats are expensive of course but I have no doubt I will be happy once my first one gets here this month.
Michelle’s customer service has been been pretty great and she really seems to care about making a good product.

I just paid for a Raiders turn in sable. Took alot for me to buy it especially since I just bought a gray Advintage Harrison as well. But I want the original. I reached out to a few other hatmakers and I only heard back from one. As a maker myself in a different medium that was a little disappointin...

Oh I see it now... ####. Now what to do?

They did? I didn't see anything. Was it in their story?
