I haven't been around too much lately, either, due to constraints of time, work, etc. but I just have to offer my great big CONGRATULATIONS to both Steve and Marc. JOB WELL DONE. Looking forward to seeing the hats
in the movie. BTW, I never had any doubt that you wouldn't get the contract.

Indyjim

I've ordered at least 3 times from HatsDirect, maybe 4. All came within
5 working days and I did not pay any customs fees. Mailman drove it right to my door. I had to go out to his car and get it, though.

Indyjim

Looks super to me. I definitely agree you didn't need the extra inch. Once the sleeves start to wrinkle up a bit, they'll be absolutely perfect! Looks good on you. !

Indyjim

I keep saying this, but I really do have to get an AB.

Indyjim

Gosh, I hardly see anything at all. I certainly wouldn't worry about that. I wish my jackets would age a little quicker. My Wings cowhide has the best natural distressing, especially on the ends and high points. My Wings lamb, which has the antiquing finish, is also getting much lighter on the seams...

Indyjim

Hmmm, the possiblity exists here for a new topic. How do you like your hat box bashed, FedEx bash, Postal bash, etc.

Indyjim

Boy, that's a GREAT looking jacket, TR. Looks like it's already been on numerous adventures. I've been wearing my Wings VIP and lamb, since its gotten colder. I do like 'em both. Kinda wish my VIP would "age"a little more, but naturally.

Indyjim

Much better. Looks like a Fed should look.

Indyjim

Hmmm, in some ways I like the "Fedora fedora" better than the traditional Indy fedora with the tight pinch and all. Looks a little less formal to me. I played around with my Akubras in the past, taking out the front pinch and leaving the front straight. I think hats look better on me that ...

No, I get the same error message, "URL not found on this server." Most of the site works fine. Must be a little glich somewhere. I'm not enough of a computer whiz to tell you why it happens. Periodically I can't access some website, in fact that happened this morning on one I was trying to...

Indyjim

Well, I'll accept Nadoolman's answer that no gray/grey hats were used. But I agree with Feraud, it looks gray to me, even more so when playing the dvd on my newer tv. All the colors are better. Even Ford's blue suit looks richer and more blue (it is blue, isn't it? 8-[)

Indyjim

The overall tone of the picture. It has a soft and misty quality to it, yet still sharp showing detail. Also looks a little vignetted on the edges. What filter did you use?

Indyjim

Not wanting to hijack the thread but, Tone, I'd like to know more about the photo you posted and how you achieved that look. Photoshop??

Indyjim

Lookin' very good my friend! Seeing a new unbashed fedora, right out of the box, has got to be one of lifes little pleasures.

Indyjim

Looks like you stole it right off of Ford's head. Looks super. I'm assuming that started out as an AB.

Indyjim

I better get mine while I can

Indyjim

A lot of scenes may have to be re-shot once Fedora's fedora hits HF's
head

Hmmm.. sounds like things are under way in the prop department. I wonder if Peter is being figured into this equation.

Hey, maybe Steve should toss a challenge coin in the box and make HF an honorary member of COW? Dancing Dancing Dancing

I thought about that as well.

That would be the hat thread to end all hat threads, wouldn't it?

I believe that would probably warrant a sticky.

Good Luck, Steve!

Indyjim

Man, that is stylin'

Terrific looking hat.

Indyjim

I have a Jackaroo (looks really Aussie with my Drizabone), a Banjo Paterson, in fawn, which looks good with any of my leather jackets, black or brown, Indy or other, and a CEO in fern green. I think the CEO looks good with my Wings lamb, with the reddish tones or a black jacket. While I like the Ban...

Indyjim

Tortilla Flat. Wow, I've been there. haven't thought about it in years though.
Got some great pictures there but that was way pre-Indy days.

Indyjim

Canyon, that is one sweeeeeeet hat. Congrats.

I especially like the idol pose.

Indyjim

Not hard to believe at all!

Indyjim

WOW! Great looking hat. Check out those straight, tall sides.

Indyjim

Yep, the large looks just like my large. Very nice color, very unique. It
is softening nicely and the grain of the leather has a wonderful feel.
I have the one piece back on mine as well.

Indyjim

Welcome Indy45. Good to see another Pennsylvanian here.

Indyjim

I have 2 Indys from Wings, a VIP cowhide and a New Zealand lamb, and an A-2 in goat. All fine jackets, all different in the look and feel of the leather. The only "issue" I had with the VIP was that the sleeve lining protruded from the end of the sleeve and needed to be tacked further up. ...

Indyjim

It looks good to me, as well. Good advice above, don't "overtweak" it.
I learned from experience not to keep messin' with it.

Indyjim

I don't know if your hat is tapered or not and if that is one of the reasons you are going this route, but I would try folding strips of paper towel or foam and placing them under the sweatband. If that doesn't make your hat fit, then go
for a more drastic solution.

Indyjim

I'm sure there would be some double takes wearing that jacket.

Indyjim

My Wings lamb has the 1 piece back, no seam in the middle. Same with my Wings VIP, 1 piece. The lamb does have the 3 piece sleeves but this doesn't bother me. I actually am only about 60 miles from Wings, so when I got my lamb, I drove over to get it and tried on both the L and XL. Truthfully, I was...

Indyjim

Obiwampa, you lucky bugger you. I'm just waiting for the day I can order my AB.

Indyjim

Hemingway, what is the name of DiCaprio's jacket? Is it listed on the Belstaff website?

Indyjim

G-MANN Exactly. I was wearing my Wings New Zealand lamb during the brief cold spell we had in December. Very well suited for that. Lately, I've been wearing the Expo (goat) or my goat A2. Perfect for the upper 50's today. The goat Expo is coming along nicely as well. I recently gave it another goat ...

Indyjim

We'll be anxiously awaiting the reviews and pix. I'll be interested in hearing what you have to say about the Wings lambskin. Mine is starting to soften up very nicely.

Indyjim

I have an eighteen pound cat I call "Bear" . Maybe I could get one for him?

That's a hoot, Peter!

Indyjim

Go here to the Gibson & Barnes website www.flightsuits.com or search the
many threads here at COW on the Expeditions.

Indyjim

I wasn't aware there was a Graphite Grey in the Fed Deluxe. Only Loden is listed on the website.

Welcome to COW!

Indyjim

Your hat does look great. You did an excellent job of bashing it and achieving the "right" look for you. It also goes well with the coat or jacket you are wearing. Welcome to COW!

Indyjim

Welcome Arkansas Russell. Lots of fun and friends here!

Indyjim

The jacket looks fabulous on you. I'm sure you'll be very pleased. I know I like mine. I broke mine in by sitting on it, sleeping in it, Pecarding it, and,
oh yes, wearing it! Congratulations!

Indyjim

No need for sepll cehck. Eevry wrod hree can be raed. Olny fsrit and lsat

Pictures, we must have these missing pictures!

Indyjim

I'm sure any jacket manufacturer has a very difficult time creating a standard, off-the rack size that fits a lot of people reasonably well. We're all built a little differently and a little here and a little there makes a big difference in how anything fits. My FS is just fine. Hopefully I didn't g...

Indyjim

It seems that if FS were to alter their patterns and add 1 inch to all their sleeve lengths, they may have the perfect jacket.
Short sleeves seems to be the one area that is a constant issue.

Indyjim

Boy it looks real good to me. I'll repeat my previous comment,
"I gotta get me one"

Indyjim

Sweet!

Indyjim

I am confused about the 55". It was the one measurement that threw me, although, I have a leather jacket in an extra large that measures 55" and it fits me ok. A little larger than i would like but not so sloppy I don't wear it. It appears to be a cross between an XL and a L. I had to exch...
