Hello all - I have not visited the site for a long time but was compelled to do so when I read the information posted here: http://www.scaminformer.com/scam-report/adventurebilt-hat-company-adventurebilt-hat-company-steve-delk-adventurebilt-hat-c40773.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);...

That was fast

Fedoraman

Yeah, Mr. Depp is in need of some good publicity ever since his anti-American comments...

Nice for the kid, but he is still a &*$% IMO.

Steve - Just saw the movie and I think the gray "Indy travel hat" looks more like the Raiders fedora than the browns. I know you have said it is a different block than any of the others - an old one if I remember right.

I think I want mine to be built on that block.

Fedoraman

If a hat is too tall, couldn't you just give it a deeper center dent to make it appear slightly shorter. After reading about the height I looked it over again and it does seem a bit tall, but it is a prototype. Dave True, but the deeper the center dent, the more the dreaded taper rears it's ugly he...

Fedoraman

Hat Shapers offers a great product and will work with you to make EXACTLY what you want.

Fedoraman

Indy wears it fairly high on his forehead as well most of the time - probably so the camera can see all those monkey-faced expressions when he is freaking out.

Just like the one in Chewbacca Jones' avatar

Fedoraman

Anybody else notice that the hat in bigrex's avatar is turned?

Fedoraman

bigrex - where did you get the picture in your avatar?

Fedoraman

With a picture like this - how could you pass it up???

Ah, that explains why you don't answer your PM's - and here I thought you were just snubbing me

Funny post.

Fedoraman

He has certainly stayed in good physical condition for a guy his age - but when I see him age, it reminds me that I am not as young as I used to be either :cry: The thing that makes me nervous about the film is the believability factor goes waaaaaay down with an old, grampa Indy. Admittedly, the who...

Fedoraman

OK - lets say a par-sec is a distance measurement in the fictional world of Star Wars. What if the "Kessel Run" is physically 25 par-secs in the normal speed passage path. If you travel fast enough, who is to say that space doesn't bend? That is to say, the faster you travel, the shorter t...

Fedoraman

GADZOOKS! Is it just me or does HF look like he is about 80 in that shot? The pants look brand new as well...

Hat looks aces but the rest, I dunno - Grampa Indy and his boy...starting to get nervous again.

Fedoraman

Sorry - BS was not the best way of saying what I intended - I apologize. The claim that got my interest was the REBLOCK and reshape statement. That has all kinds of implications - the block is what makes the hat what it is. Taper and all the other ugliness that happens over time can be accounted for...

Fedoraman

I am confused here - I know and believe Steve, but "Pony R" on Ren's site posted some text from "Reelz" website that states that Barons had to reshape and reblock ALL the hats supplied by Steve at the last minute to make them look more authentic. Is this just just more Baron's BS...

Fedoraman

Only if you want to be laughed off the road...

Of course, I have seen some pretty strange things on bikes themselves.

I would prefer a custom IJ paintjob on my bike.

Fedoraman

The mods must be slipping. Here we are talking about the Crystal Skulls hats when clearly these topics should have been locked-down or deleted. After all this forum is only for the "In-depth discussion of Indy's Fedora and all other hats appearing in the trilogy".

Fedoraman

I must admit - that is the first real "flaw" I have seen on an AB. That one must have just got past him I guess...from the crown smoothness I would have sworn that was a beaver

The hat stand looks like it works very well, BTW.

Fedoraman

Was your AB made by Steve or Marc?

In this shot, it looks as if underside of the brim wasn't pounced enough

How long ago did you get this one?

Fedoraman

Buy a block from Steve's supplier in a size smaller than your hat. When your not wearing your hat - keep it on the block.

Fedoraman

YOWZA!!!

Hey....dat's not funny

Yeah really. THAT is a situation I have already...

Yeah right, we all know that you and Steve are fat-cats living in mansions, lighting cigars with $100 bills - don't try to fool us

Fedoraman

Wow Canyon - you must be drilling deep into the archives to pull this one out

Fedoraman

FAKER!!!

Fedoraman

NEVER RIDE WITHOUT A HELMET!

Please!

I have seen first hand the kind of devestation that can happen from head injuries from not wearing a helmet.

WEAR A HELMET!

Get a hard case to carry your fedora. Be safe first and worry about "the look" second.

Fedoraman

JPD hat is a little bit more tapered than an Adventrbuilt and the with the - brim make sure you specify a non-cut brim as he is a little stingy - If I could do it over again I would ask for a 3" brim.

Fedoraman

Enjoy the wait

What is Steve up to lead time wise nowadays - August?

Steve, can you say what the brim dimensions are on the KotCS fedora are?

I better wait on that for right now. I have given away too much already. LOL. But, you will see two brim sizes in the new film. Fedora

Well - with what happened in Last Crusade when he got caught on the barrel of the tank, he probably figured out the bag is less a hinderance on the outside of the jacket. Speaking of the jacket (hat forum I know...) but it looks like cow-hide and doesn't drape nearly as nicely as the ROTLA coat...it...

I don't wnat to kick a dead dog, but Marc and I are wearing our hats kicked jauntedly to the side these days. As time has passed, and the reality finally hit home with the both of us, we have both realized that of all of the hats got in for samples from other hatters, including HJ, once ours got th...

Definitely could use a reblock IMO, but if you are happy with it who cares what I think

Is this a rabbit or a beaver?

Huh? A website that size doesn't need a template, and why pay for something that can be achieved by open source projects?

Sounds like you are volunteering, VP.
