Ok, thanks. I'll check him out.

Ark Hunter

OK, thanks!
Any suggestions on which one? It went to Fedora long ago to get the ribbon changed out (it's an Akubra). I guess he's kind of out of the game? I've been off the boards for many moons.

Ark Hunter

It may be because I'm looking down to some degree, but it is a bit loose on me too. I had an AB "Ford felt" at one time, but it was a bit tight and I eventually sold it. If I added some padding in front/back to stretch it and make it tighter on my head do you think that would help it not l...

I don't know about any one else, but I hadn't seen this photo before. It was posted on the Indiana Jones Facebook page for Friendship Day. Nice shot of the boots, pant cuffs, and just general gear. JRD also looks to be waring Aldens? (with white socks. LOL)
Link to that image page.

Ark Hunter

Is there a post about the cold water process somewhere? Do you just soak it in cold water?

Ark Hunter

Amazing transformation! Looks great! You couldn't even see that rough grain when it was new!

Ark Hunter

I've got a "Ford Felt" model. I've been pondering if I want to sell it.

Ark Hunter

Wow! I listen to that podcast most of the time. I think he's a member at The Raven, but maybe not here. I've heard him mention The Raven several times on the podcast.

Ark Hunter

Hmm, yeah. It's not showing now that it's closed.

Ark Hunter

Ok, I'm batting zero today.

It still doesn't have any sweat stains though.

Ark Hunter

The actual auction doesn't say it was screen used or on Ford's head. It was from George's collection and certainly hasn't been sweat in. Ford might have put it on before signing it. :lol: It's obviously been distressed for the movie though. The "screen used" came from the Star Wars page li...

This one is supposedly from George's collection and is the liner is signed by Harrison. Starting bid $9,000!

Notice how they marked out part if the Adventurebilt name on the sweat band.

Ark Hunter

I see a ribbon, dark brown/black about the right height...actually it looks a bit too tall. (I don't see a bow though) Might need to brighten your monitor some or something. Steve said the one he made for some one famous ended up not being a off the shelf Indy hat. You're right about the profile (th...

Ark Hunter

Looks sort of like a mostly open crown AB. Did Fedora ever tell who his celebrity client was a couple years ago?

Very stove pipe sides at least.

Ark Hunter

Any brand information or if it's available online? Is it plastic?

Ark Hunter

Nice find Canyon.

6 months or so too late but nice.

Ark Hunter

I thought this topic was something regarding Tennessee. You might want to spell out the title.

(would make it easier to search also)

Ark Hunter

Yeah, I was thinking about posting that. It was very interesting. Here's a link to the full video on Google Video.

Ark Hunter

I know he has a big 10' or so whip they used on one episode. I just assumed it was his. I don't recall if it was accurate Indy or not.

Ark Hunter

They are big thick grooves and the strap looks a bit too wide. (see my earlier comment on the bad bag strap)

It's compairing "pigs and puppies" in Tennessee.

Ark Hunter

I saw it in HD and from the photo of the screen I'd guess Dalexs may have too. (Looks like an LCD panel?) Anyway, the felt looks nice. It's not Fed Deluxe felt. It's very AB looking.

Ark Hunter

I think you need to get your eyes checked. That is no Federation. It's definately an AB. Show me a Federation that looks like that and I'll dress as Belloq in his ceremonial garb for Halloween! :twisted: Dave get ya dress ready.. http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?t=33137&highlight=fed+iii T...

Ark Hunter

Yeah, I saw the show tonight and was going to post this! I'd say it's an AB maybe an AB Deluxe.

Looks great! My AB doesn't look like that.

He's got a crummy bag strap though.

Ark Hunter

Yeah, i was thinking it looked kind of brown also, but wasn't going to say anything. We know how that goes. ;) :lol: It looks like it's got a "reinforced" inner pocket, but I'm not certain about that. It doesn't look like the scalped reinforcing though. Just kind of straight. About an extr...

Ark Hunter

Indeed. It is all subjective to personal opinion and what light you are looking at them in. My Noel Howard pants change color too, everything does, so it's just what screen shot you are going for and if you want them to look good in pictures or out doors or what. It'll drive you insane!

Ark Hunter

I went and saw these in the store yesterday and the color (at least in the store lighting) looked too brown/dark. Maybe they look better in daylight or something. They look good in photos though. Nice work on the pockets BTW.

Ark Hunter

I'd guess it's the stain resistant ones as the others doesn't have a color even close to the right one. Amazon had some too, but not in the right color.

Ark Hunter

They look great in that picture. Hopefully they look as good in person.

Ark Hunter

I would hope so. It's not conducive to much of anything at the moment.

Ark Hunter

I guess it's not just me then and that's the only stuff they have available.

Ark Hunter

Does the Tony Nowak website just barely work for anyone eles? About the only thing I can get to is the home page and pictures gallery.

Ark Hunter

The holster at Indianajonesshop.com is actually pretty decent.
Of course you can get a real leather one for about 2.5x that price.

You just went in debt.

One thing, on the Q&A page. I think it would be helpful to link those questions in the left column to the Q&A in the right column. ie Click on the question and it jumps to the answer. Otherwise good job.

Ark Hunter

Quicksand, why did it have to be quicksand! Indy's lost his whip and gun belt too!

Ark Hunter

That would be great!

Ark Hunter

So FC does EVERYTHING ELSE? And here I thought they only did hats and vintage clothing.

Ark Hunter

Looks like they're trying to get a "perfect" shot of the shadows to me (I could be wrong). Using the real ark would not produce such clean lines. Yeah, that's what I thought too. I thought it was a behind the scenes shot showing how they got a nice shadow of the ark. They wouldn't set ani...

Ark Hunter

Yeah, me either. Pretty cool. What's it from?

Ark Hunter

I'm not sure that's a good shot to judge by. It looks rather low to me, actually it's probably that his jacket is pulled up because he's got the bag open. But yeah, about half sticking out from under the jacket I guess.

Ark Hunter

I don't know. It looks very much like the one I linked to in the IndyShop. Go check it out. (bound brim edge and all)

Ark Hunter

I think Ford can get one anytime he wants.

(probably has one or more from Steve directly already) , but I think mooniteman is right, they just gave him a "throw away" hat for the show. (and to subliminally get that "official hat" into people's minds who aren't as picky as us.

Ark Hunter

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too. He doesn't look as gray with wet hair.

Ark Hunter

What are they doing sliming a fedora?

Ark Hunter

I don't blame him in this case. Looks like Ford is sporting an IndianaJonesShop.com "official" hat after he got slimed at the Nick Kids Choice Awards. Looks like he had fun with it though. (see other pictures in that gallery) http://www.hfm2.com/photopost1/showphoto.php/photo/7065 http://w...

It looks like Ford may be wearing an official hat in this picture.

Same here.

The one on the crate looks very new and stiff. Maybe even shellacked.

Ark Hunter

I love it. Keep it coming.

BTW, you guys should label your Avatar/Logos as to who you are. You look the same now.

When I glance down the page I assumed you were the same person.
