The resemblance is amazing. It IS Orlando Bloom! Welcome aboard.

Nicht Storen

I agree. It just gets better and better.

Nicht Storen

That's a good lookin lid G-Mann. I see it already saw a little rain. Well, there was plenty of opportunity to see how rain would affect our lids this past weekend in Chicago.

Nicht Storen

Congrats Steve and thanks for all the info you provided. I'm sure HF will be touched when he receives this hat.

Nicht Storen

Yeah. Last Saturday it was 67 degrees and today were going to get six inches of snow.

Hey Tone- Was that pic in the mine car taken at Goldfield?? Sure was. :D I love the Saloon there. I know what you mean. I was out there this past June for a wedding at Gold Canyon Resort. We stopped at Goldfield one day on the way to Tortilla Flat. BTW your shots of Sedona in the other thread are v...

Wow lady, do you think Indiana Jones would have worn a hat with his name pinned on the outside in the same font as the movie poster??

Nicht Storen

Rusty Jones I have those same boots from Sears. Wear em almost everyday to work. I think its a good-looking inexpensive Alden alternate. The Land's End ones don't look bad either.

Nicht Storen

"HJ made it clear that they were not particularly interested in catering to the Indy market...or at least not until recently."

Yeah. Not until they heard about the AB and the support it is getting from the Indy fans here. Now they (HJ) want in on a little of the action.

Nicht Storen

Agreed. The liner is really well done.

Nicht Storen

That's one fine-lookin lid.

Nicht Storen

Good news to know if I decide to purchase Aldens. Now at least I know there are local retailers. Thanks for the info.

Nicht Storen

That is a nice-looking shirt, however, I did not see it on Dillard's website. Are there any other details you can give? Do they call it a safari shirt? What's the fabric? Thanks for all the info.

Nicht Storen

I own a Beaver AB with an idol grab bash.

Nicht Storen

I ordered my Federation last December and within a week it was delivered to my door. Faster than I would have expected.

Nicht Storen

Buy her some flowers to smooth things over as well. It would be a nice surprise for her.

Nicht Storen

At least you'll have a nice hat to be buried with if she finds out the truth. Congrats on the hat. You'll love it.

My new sister-in-law just started her first year of college down in the Galveston area and had to evacuate earlier this week. She got to some friend's house about 4 hours away. I hope that is far enough away from the potential problem areas. I add my thoughts and prayers to all those who will be aff...

I have no trouble switching between a Cubs cap and a fedora. I like them all. Besides a cap looks better with shorts and a t-shirt when doing the yardwork IMO.

Nicht Storen

A little of the fake web does go a long way. One package should be enough for the "event" IMO.

Wow that is quite a way to propose. Good luck! Hope it all works out.

Nicht Storen

Then again if we are looking at a twenty-five year old catalog that has been buried in a garage. Can we be certain that the ink and paper are in the same condition as when the pages were printed? Do we need to account for color loss or color shift if the pages are a number of years old?

Nicht Storen

Yes Tandy Leather does have a website. www.tandyleather.com. They do sell leather dye. I've dyed a couple of leather belts and some old leather pouches. You might try that on your gloves. I don't know how it will work to dye over yellow though.

Nicht Storen

What about leather dye from Tandy's??

Nicht Storen

I'm going in a different direction. Dr. Hawass needs a new lid. Possibly Mr. Bernstein as well. I guess we'll never see them in the tabloids so maybe that is the wrong direction.

Nicht Storen

Congrats Steve!! You've hit the big time now.

Nicht Storen

I believe Jpenman's is an Idol grab. Maybe he'll chime in.

Nicht Storen

Just received my beaver AB the other day.

Nicht Storen

Just got another email tell me what ye all think...Herbert Johnson are trying to make a comeback after they have seen the error of their ways.... Hi, I'm trying to trace the block at the moment and believe it is in a storage facility we have in Hadnam in Cambridgeshire. Unfortunately the warehouse ...

Just ordered my AB last week. Should receive it sometime next week.

Nicht Storen

I dunno about the weight of the shirt, but the problem for me is the elbow patches. I don't need that. Its too bad. It was almost a nice cotton complement to their safari shirts.

Nicht Storen

I think the jacket needs to be checked for any DNA samples left behind from Mr. Ford or from the stunt crew. Maybe then you might have some basis for this jacket being a hero jacket or stunt. I don't even know if that is possible after 20 years.

Nicht Storen

www.hatsdirect.com has a converter with metric measurements and the US equivalent. Jusy go to the sizing advice page.

Nicht Storen

I do not use my bag all the time either, but I just got back from vacation in Arizona and used the MK VII to hold all my toiletries. I wanted all that stuff with me in case the airline lost my checked bag.

Nicht Storen

I like the idea of a flask/canteen for the bag. I'm gonna have to get one.

Nicht Storen

Style A or B would look the best in my book.

Nicht Storen

Little ammo pouches was what I was thinking too. It would keep with the same look of the period yet still be functional. Little MK VII would look cheesy to me.

I gave Todd's distressing tutorial a shot yesterday for my bag. I wish I had pics to post but I am not done with it yet. I only used a capfull of bleach because I just really can't stand the smell of it. It did lighten the color a bit but I am going to go back and give it a second shot today and se...

Nicht Storen

So what's the breaking news???

Nicht Storen

He's really working over that bag on the tutorial. Good to see his bag can take the punishment since I have one.

Really good to see the shirt as well. Thanks for the links.

Nicht Storen

I've got to see this. Please post pics or video if you set the hat on fire.

Nicht Storen

Thanks for the replies. Anyone from the Valley of the Sun with any thoughts??

HJ- Nice pics. Wearing the Fed with the shorts makes you look a little like Frank Buck or the big game hunter from Jurassic Park. It looks good.

Nicht Storen

What does everyone think of wearing their Fed. with shorts in the summer? I'm headed to Phoenix for a wedding and vacation next month and have been watching the temps soar lately out there to well over 100 degrees. I know I'll be wearing shorts most of the time, but I want to wear my fedora as well....

Nicht Storen

The beaver blend answer to the Akubra, huh? Well, I am all ears to hear the reviews when they start coming in on this hat. I've been considering a beaver felt lid and if its similar to the Akubra then it is in good company.

Nicht Storen

I have had my Akubra Fed since December and have not had any problems with the hat. I've worn it in the rain & snow and there has been no taper nor color change. This is my first and only fedora I own, but I will consider others in the future including an AB. If you are looking for a good inexpe...

My favorite lines from The Untouchables.

Well. That's a relief. I am only pointing out that while some of his behavior may have been acceptable, other aspects are not. Which is why Indy is a shady character.

Nicht Storen

I respect Mr. Hawass for the things he has done over the years for recovering, preserving, interpreting the past in Egypt. He has been the visible figure in archaeology for a while now and I wish other ancient cultures around the world had this kind of visible leader championing for their past. &quo...
