I always felt that the Akubra color Rodeo Brown had lots of potential, somewhere between the sable and the more red colors that appear in the Raiders fedora from time to time. I have an old Down Under in that color, and wish it had the crown height to turn it in to a Raiders hat...

You can get a sheriff hat from Stratton Hats in 'Oklahoma Brown' that will make a fine replica of Fedora's hat, realtively cheap... 100% rabbit felt...

Oklahoma Jones

Stratton hats has a sheriff hat in chocolate brown that can be easily converted into a pretty nice replica of Fedora’s hat...

Oklahoma Jones

Yup, got a sable and a whiskey.... beautiful!!!

Oklahoma Jones

Got a whiskey and a standard brown... no pics, but like everyone else, I can and will vouch for the quality.... oh, and the felt is Winchester, so....

Oklahoma Jones

Dang! If I hadn’t already sold both my kidneys I’d get me one or two of these..... wonder how much I can get for a liver?

Oklahoma Jones

Also, was wondering about the specs of your hat?

Oklahoma Jones

Take a look at the hat when Indy is fighting the mechanic at the plane......... IMO, David's new hat color is durn near a perfect match...

Oklahoma Jones

Do you have pics of the moss green fedora? I would be very interested to see it...

Oklahoma Jones

Quite the impressive job, my friend!! The hat looks great!!

Oklahoma Jones

I get more comments on my Garrison than I do from other vendors' hats. I really love it!!

Oklahoma Jones

This hat looks so great, I can't wait for mine!! Hoping it would have already showed up by now.............

Oklahoma Jones

My eyes!! They burn!! Make it stop!

Oklahoma Jones

Yep, that's what I think of for the Indy fedora. Nailed it!

Oklahoma Jones

I remember being at the first PB summit, and seeing Joe's hat. Always wanted one, but I was fortunate enough to receive one from Steve. I love, love, love this hat.

Oklahoma Jones

Not fanning flames, but isn't there a thread here somewhere that describes 'smoking' the felt? I believe that it was a process done in Italy for a specific brand? The article said smoking the hats killed the felt, so they didn't taper...

Oklahoma Jones

If what I am seeing is a surface moth bite, it can be lightly sanded with a fine grit sandpaper. At least, that is what I have done when I have had this happen to one of mine... Oak, is that what you are thinking?

Oklahoma Jones

I got my Garrison totally soaked in the Moore tornadoes last year. You'd never know it to look at it..................

Oklahoma Jones

When you see the hat from a distance, it all becomes clear............. FANTASTIC!!!!

Oklahoma Jones

A picture from about 12 feet away will give you the best view as to what everyone else sees when you wear the hat...

Oklahoma Jones

Wow. I was at that summint way back when, and he was so nice to all of us. Thoughts and prayers to the family.

Oklahoma Jones

Didn't someone post a hat-making story about how the Italians 'smoke' their hats in such a way as to stabilize the felt so that there is no shrinkage/taper? I seem to recall this from way back in the day...

Oklahoma Jones

Very interesting............ however, I would hope that replicating the Herbert Johnson name and so forth does not cause you any legal issues?

Oklahoma Jones

I bought one of these when they first came out 3 years ago or so, and I have only good things to say about it. Even getting the wife one so she can have something compact to carry to work.

Oklahoma Jones

I have to agree that the hat looks very good on you, and that it does indeed appear to my eye to have correct dimensions. I have spent lots of money on lots of hats to get just that look, and while many have come close, IMO yours looks just right!!

Oklahoma Jones

This hat really suits you, Gorak!! What a great find!!

Oklahoma Jones

Durn, I just missed you............ that's who I was gonna suggest, since they are about ten minutes from my house.............

Oklahoma Jones

Oh, man, I am soooo looking forward to getting mine!!!!

Oklahoma Jones

Wonder if it's one of those DP beaver felt fedoras??

Oklahoma Jones

I have had one of his for about 3 months, and to tell the truth, it is the only one I have been ewaring on my head in all that time. It truly has great look!!

Oklahoma Jones

I don't know..........you haven't seen my face....... it was built to not be seen....

Oklahoma Jones

So I got a new hat from David a few days ago................WOW. This is the hat I was trying to get to when I was buying and destroying Resistol cowboy hats back in the 80s. A tall crown, but soft enough to hit all the right beats when bashed without being too 'sharp', if you take my meaning. Perfe...

Oklahoma Jones

Nice find!! I once had a brown pork-pie with the 'back-bow' treatment...loved that hat...

Oklahoma Jones

Stella, I'd call that CHARACTER.....

Oklahoma Jones

Maybe the ribbon has shifted out of place from handling and storage for all these years?

Oklahoma Jones

I might turn it, but I sure wouldn't take any off...

Oklahoma Jones

What size do you wear? I might be able to help you out...

Oklahoma Jones

Wow, Steve, those hats are great!! The bash on both hats really captures(for me) the feel of the Raiders hat, particularly the right profile dent. Simply the best.................

Oklahoma Jones

FloatinJoe, I have not made a request for a hat from them just yet, but I plan on getting a copy of the hat that Josh Bernstein wore on Diggin For The Truth. Nate and David made that wondeerful distressed hat for Josh, and I really like it. To me, it is a cross between and Indy hat and a Crocodile D...

Oklahoma Jones

The only other place I have seen a conformateur is on my head at Nathaniels of Colorado. It is a pretty interesting piece of equipment...

Oklahoma Jones

As Steve will attest to, I am a Streets of Cairo guy............. there is just something about the well worn look of that hat that appeals to me over any of the other 'looks' of the hat.............. when that hat is on Harrison's head, IT IS ON!!!!!!

Oklahoma Jones

You might also check Tilley hats.............they have 2 new waxed hats, in the T4 and T5 styles..............these hats have dimensional brims................

Oklahoma Jones

I might flatten the front of the brim a bit, but looks dead on to me otherwise.................

Oklahoma Jones

Hollowpond, do you love your 'Zombieland' hat as much as I love mine? Halloween was a blast last year, and no one had to ask if that was the look I was going for............

Oklahoma Jones

Continued wear will stretch the hat a bit, but if you are going to let your hair grow a bit or don't wear your hat as often as some do, I would go ahead and get the hat jack.

Oklahoma Jones

Do we think that this hat, or possibly the plane hat he fiddles with in behind the scenes footage is possibly the hat from Christy's? Just wondering.............

Oklahoma Jones

I'm gonna have to go with moth tracks................seen too many hats ruined by the little beasts..............get thee some cedar balls.............................

Oklahoma Jones

Ya gotta put me on the list of 'OH BOY I WANT ONE OF THOSE!!!!!!!!!!' 22 7/8 head size. please and thank you.......

Oklahoma Jones

Having handled hats at Nathaniel's store, in particular hats just like Josh's, I can only say WOW.........that is one of the most awesome hats I have seen. Steve, you ARE the man..........

Oklahoma Jones

I know.........Steve and I had the same conversation..........I'd get one that was right in the crown, but the brim was wrong..............than I'd cut too much off a brim, and ruin the look.................Resistols, Stetsons, DPs, Broners, and any other hat brand you can think of that was offered ...
