Wow, niiice! Is it just the different lighting, or is the felt loads lighter now? :-k Cheers, Bear Same type of lighting (natural, from window). The color is much lighter now than it was. I remember when I got it I was a bit disappointed because the hat was so dark, like dark chocolate. Now it look...

My Fed IV Deluxe, then and now:

A true gentleman he was. He didn't just make his mark in the Indy community but in the hat making business as well. He's a hero and a legend in both departments.
Rest in peace, mr. Delk.

It's also fairly tapered isn't it?

Wasn't there speculation that this might have been the mythical stetson he wore in the film?

I think that is the hat that recently got auctioned off by Prop Store. It was a Herbert Johnson.

He does seem to lose it in Raiders (I guess Capt Kananga could post it to him, but is it worth it? He’s certainly not wearing it in Washington so the idea seems to be that it’s lost) and then his hat at the beginning of CS is presumably incinerated by the army along with the rest of stuff he wears ...

Chiliana Jones

I’d be interested to know how you wore it in the heat of Egypt and managed to get all that beautiful dust on it, but no sweat stains / marks. Please let me know the secrets of your success. Oh there are stains and marks on it. There are some on the ribbon but not drastic enough for a camera to pick...

You mentioned it’s been through heavy rain, any tips for drying it out in hot, damp weather?

I pop out the creases and let it hang on something like a jacket hook or a mute servant to dry out naturally (in room temperature). Never force-dry a hat. Avoid direct sunlight.

Did you do any work on your ribbon bow, or was it already that tight? I have a Fed IV in tawny fawn and the bow is pretty sloppy. No work done. My hat is turning 14 this year and have seen some action through the years and the bow has morphed into something of its own through the years. I posted a ...

All natural dust found its way on the hat just by strolling around Siwa Oasis:

I usually bring my hat along onboard the plane. It may be on my head or resting on my lap. If the seat next to me is empty then I'll lay it there. I also have this really light cloth bag that I can put my hat in and put it underneath the seat in front of me if needed. It has happened that I had to p...

It's not the years, it's the milage. Here's my Federation 4 Deluxe, how it looked out of the box back in 2008 compared to how it looks today. The hat has been with me around the world many times over the years and have been through all types of weather, like the heat of Egypt and the heavy rains of ...

If the TOD and LC hats were beaver, wouldn't that explain why the brims on the hats aren't as droopy as the Raiders hat brim when soaked? The TOD and LC hat brims seem to react more like the CS fedora.

CJ

Chiliana Jones

Not the Federation 4, but the Federation itself. Steve and I both worked with Ron at HatsDirect to create the line, and I got to take the prototype to the first Queen Mary summit. They contacted Steve because he had been playing with Akubra Campdrafts and had an ongoing correspondence with HatsDire...

I'm sorry to hear you never got your hat! Thank you for your concern. As much as I would have liked to have one of his hats, his health and well being is much more important because in the end it is just a hat. But when I think about it, in a way, I did actually get one of "his" hats. Bef...

I ordered an Adventurebilt from Steve back in 2008. Never heard from him again or got to see any hat. But I did hear he had fallen ill and that his computer crashed at some point so he had lost a lot of orders. I hope he's okay and that my little "donation" came to good use during rough ti...

Yup. I still wear mine during travels. This year marks my Fed4D's ten year anniversary

Yes, I'm aware that the original SOC hat was found years ago (aren't we all? ;) ) but Screenused have since sold the hat. Spielberg is a well known collector of movie memorabilia so he might have bought it back. But like you said, it might be the Hawaii hat or the one used during scenes shot at Elst...

Ah, i see :) But sure you can get another Fed IV but the new Fed IV will never share the same stories as the old one. This is just me though. I get really sentimental when it comes to stuff like that. I've had my Fed IV since 2008 and i really just bought it just to have something for my head while ...

It's a lil dusty but pretty much in top condition! Great fedora but Might have to let this one go to the Bazaar to fund my Advintage! :( Why sell it if you like it so much? Can't you just save up money "the hard way" or sell something else for a quick buck? Why the rush on getting an Advi...

I'm surprised myself that it has held up this well through the years but it just shows that as long as the hat takes care of you and you take care of it, together you'll be dynamite :P :lo...

Chiliana Jones

The hat i wear today, the Federation 4D, is also pretty much inspired by the YIJ fedora. Inspired by the one used in the episode "London 1916", wich is my all time favourite hat. I've had it with me for many years now and is my travelcompanion #1. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm1/Chi...

Chiliana Jones

The hat got soaked a couple of times during heavy rain while i was in Sri Lanka in december. http://i292.photobucket.com/albums/mm1/ChilianaJones/SriLanka20141792_zpsdba91199.jpg It's been through lots of heavy weather through the years but it still holds up really well. At least i think so. CJ

Chiliana Jones

It makes me think of the Young Indiana Jones Chronicles hat. In the first episode where young indy wears a fedora, it looks quite similar to this one, and the ribbon seems to have the same wideness as the young Indy hat. I was thinking exactly the same. Same bow-style too. If it only had a little w...

Nice to see that Jason is still making these. I'm not after the perfect SA Indy-hat myself but i've always been amazed how great work and detail he puts into his hats.

i've heard that the best thing to do when dealing with bird droppings on clothes is to let it dry (don't try to wipe it off!! it will only make things worse!) and then you crack it and scrape it off

CJ

Chiliana Jones

i'm not afraid of getting my hat wet. It's just those darn birds im afraid of, wanting to use my hat as a target practice.
This product seems to be the way to go for me to tell the birds "ha! in your face!"

If you read between the lines and into the Nadoolman quote above, it really does not matter what it was , as it could have very well been some type of "Australian" hat or some other style. true, but it would be interesting knowing what the hat looked like before Deborah did her magic. For...
