Thank you for this info. I’ve bought 4 hats this year from outside the US and I’ve been wondering if I was going to start receiving bills.

Very nice! Is the dust applied permanently to either hat?

I’ve given this subject a good bit of thought as I also want to strike a balance between usability and screen accuracy. I currently own 2 Fedoraiders hats. Both rabbit, both SA hats. One of them is handled moderately, the other I have worn adventuring. It’s seen a good bit of sweat, it’s been to the...

Thank you! and I’m still spending plenty of time on many hatters websites looking for my next fix.

I think you’ve figured out the next trend for the distressing market! I may or may not have googled to see if I can buy Tunisian sand online before [emoji23].

Wah, wah. My order was canceled due to the hat not actually being in stock. So much for that experiment for now. I’m done hijacking the thread. And now back to Herbert Johnson…

Earlier this year I decided to buy an Indy hat. I placed an order for one from HJ in a Streets of Cairo bash. Near the end of my 4 month wait, a hat from Fedoraiders became available so I jumped on it too. Never owning a fedora before, I now had what I considered to be the two best options out there...

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 t...

I actually found one in stock. Should be here next week so I’ll at least get to try it on. If it seems like a winner I’ll try some reshaping. You more knowledgeable folks will have some good input there, I’m sure. How about the ribbon? Is it too tall? Might be fun to learn how to put one on. https:/...

When people talk about the plane hat in particular I see a lot of hate. I honestly prefer this hat to the others in the movie. Im only just learning about this stuff, but as a casual observer, this hat stands out to me the way the SOC or even Young Indy’s backwards hat does. I would buy one if some...

Curious what the result would be if someone did some shaping work to a Stetson Temple. They still make em, and still describe that "Harrison Ford wore a version of this fedora in 1984’s Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom." My size is currently out of stock on their website, but I put my...
