I just purchased a Wested Raiders jacket and had no problem with communicating. I asked a question after my order was placed and received a prompt response. I'm confident you will resolve your issue.

Sorry, it took me a minute to get back to this post. Sometimes work can be demanding. I will take some pix with it on. I appreciate all the information.

Yes Sir Skippy it is supposed to be a TOD hat and you are correct that it has been dusted and dampened with Fullers Earth. Thanks for the advice. I'll do my best to break it in.

I hope those pix are better. I know the band still looks silver. I guess this is the best that Baron can do. I am new to the Indy collection but I am a collector of other props/costumes of 7 years now. I had an opportunity to get this hat and decided to just dive in to your world. If the collective ...

I appreciate all the input. I can say that it is not grey and the band is not silver. The weathering does make it look different but it is absolutely brown. I will be happy reduce the size of pix.

I would like to share pictures of my Cliffhanger. I just received it this week. I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as all of you but I thought it would be worth sharing some pictures. I had Baron weather it. Let the discussion commence. http://tinypic.com/avlh5e.jpg http://tinypic.com/avlh6x.jpg http:/...

Thanks for the warm welcome as well as the advice. I will look further into the band issue. Thanks for the heads up.

I was told that the Indiana hat they did was more authentic as the fur felt so you don't have to spend the Beaver Felt money to enjoy an authentic replica. I am more of a sci-fi collector so I think I have a bit of a learning curve to go through but that's what I was told.

Hello everyone. I'm new to the site and I did just buy a Baron Cliffhanger. I have not received it yet but I am very excited to get it. I'll have it in about 2 weeks and report my opinion asap.
