Thats a great color combination, I love the look it gives off.

Heres one, I was at a mall and walked into a hat store (one that only had ball caps) and picked up a hat my brother was wanting. I was wearing my AB Deluxe and i walked up to the counter to pay. The 18 year old punk looked at me and said "Hey!!! cool, that's Elmer Fudds hat right...?" ELME...

[quote="Indy35"]That's a nice lid. It looks like a slightly underdeveloped Indy lid, all the colors and bow are there, it just hasn't grown up yet! :D Think of it as a baby indy. ;)[/quote You might be on to something, I looked further at the bow and just behind the stitching is part of a ...

A nice "Stingy Brim", trouble is never find anything like that in my size (62). I heard Harrison's/Indy's was a 7 1/4??? You're not alone. Although my head isn't as large (22 7/8) most of the intage lids i find are considerably smaller, in the 22 1/4 and lower numbers. People's heads are ...

The best antique mall find in this respect was found for me by Bink in Indiana a few years back....a 1940's Borsalino for $35. Perfect condition, and one I wear often in summer. I love it! They're still out there folks. Just keep turning over rocks. Viper found this one shoved under a table in a la...

Today I was out taking the wife antiquing (which i don't mind, i love looking at old stuff you never know what you find) and as chance had it I went over to their clothes section. Buried under some shoes was a brown fedora, after picking it up i immediately noticed how soft and floppy the hat was. A...

$8,000 my god that’s absolutely ridicules. Could you imagine Steve if everyone that bought a hat from you paid $8K. You'd need a place like this to put your stash...

Ok here we go, i downloaded an High rez preview of the movie and was able to pull some screen shots i grabed some of the "oxblood" and the Grey one in the preview. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/viper80134/Enemy1.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l103/viper80134/Enemy3.jpg http...

Thanks, I don't think I'll ever stop wearing fedoras so I'll have many more pics to add over the years. Yup that what I had them style it in. Though it was before PB offered a pure beaver felt.

viper80134

It took some digging and going to my mom’s house to scan some pictures but here they are. I found enough to show how long I’ve been wearing an Indy fedora. I've all ways wanted his hat from the first time I saw the movies. My first hat :D was when they first opened the Indiana Jones ride in Disneyla...

viper80134

Both would look great on the grey felt, however I'll have to agree with everyone else that the black gives it a nice contrass. Have you guys given any thought about the color of the liner yet?

viper80134

Thats a very unique hat, I've never seen a style such as that. The part I love the most is the top dent, that is trully awsome and original. I'm sure your dad

....

nice try.... will be quite pleased with it.

viper80134

They look awsome as always, but you can deffidentley tell the differance between the rabit and the beaver. I think it will just come down to personal prefrence. Thank you for doing one in the grey I was intrested to see how a grey one would turn out. You'll be getting my order for one like that when...

viper80134

Wow awsome job, with all the pics that i've seen of your work my next hat will definitely be from you, once I finally get my AB-Deluxe that is. It will be intresting to see that block with pure beaver. Fantastic Job!!

viper80134

Awsome dude it looks amazing

Can't wait for mine to come in.

viper80134

Welcome to COW Stefan :D Its nice to finaly meet Marc's new partner. And your english is just fine!! I would certinly be intrested, though currently I dropped some money for an AB-Deluxe, but I would jump on this option and don't care for extra price since we are getting something alot more personab...

viper80134

While that may be the conventional wisdom on deer, don't try that with a Moose. They'll be combing through the rear seat all day trying to figure out which parts are you and which parts are moose. Marc, can't wait to see photos of the shop once it is decorated. WOW isn't that the truth I was coming...

viper80134

ya i guess your right

viper80134

I'm sorry to hear that Marc... :shock: I'm am very glad to see that your ok. Its weird seeing all thiese accedents happing all of a suden. :-s I'm not sure how Germany with the rules of the road. But if memory serves me when i took the test back when I was 16 . one of the questions asked what do you...

viper80134

Thats awesome Marc, it looks prity good the way it is. It will be intresting to see what else you are going to do with the place. As i'm sure you'll keep all of us posted. So is the shop up and running, i mean is this where you will be completing all your orders from now on?

viper80134

I sent Marc some pics of my face and he's brain storming about what would look best for me. I'm not getting a specific style either but i like the raiders turn and the tall crown is some of my fave features.

viper80134

You can rub it in when you post some pics till then your in the same boat. HAHA!!

J/K Can't wait to see it, did you decide on a bash yet?

viper80134

Wow thats cool can't wait till i have my ABDeluxe, I've all ways wanted to go and see Egypt with my AB. So you went recently how was it over there? Did you have to stay with a certin group, isn't it dangerus over there right now? Any deails about your tip would be great to hear about, was wonting to...

viper80134

Welcome back!! Can't wait on the pics of the new shop, and to see some work from your new padawan. Hope to see mine soon.

viper80134

Ordered mine from marc October of 08, so it will be a while before i can show it off.

viper80134

Ah didn't know because i saw some one on the list that said Speedster-AB Deluxe. If thats the case pay no mind to me lol

viper80134

Didn't see my name on the list. I ordered an AB Deluxe on 10/27/08 not sure on the size of my order but my size in inches is 22" 7/8". When i contacted Marc he said it would be about 14 months so clocks ticking ;-) ;-)

viper80134

Thank you. It's just a reg. Fed IV that I've had since last spring. Funny thing is, it's the first hat where I really couldn't care less how it looks. All my other hats I fussed over and worried about and checked for taper, and then sold when they appeared to be tapering. This one, I bashed in 5 mi...

viper80134

Thats awesome to see, the whole store looks like it came out of an old black and white movie. It works for them, sometimes I wish stores today had that welcome feeling.

viper80134

Ok Gentelman I'm in for the long hull now. I just placed my order with Marc for an AB-Deluxe on 10/27/08 he said its about 10 month waite, but from what i've seen its well worth it. As far as my size I'm not sure the actuall but my head messures 22" 7/8" if that helps. Now if only I had a ...

viper80134

Does any one know how much these items cost?

viper80134

Awsome news, i can't wait for pics and price for pre order

viper80134

I Did when i first started wearing it, it seem every ones eyes as the pased buy would snap up and look at the hat :roll: :roll: . But the more you wear it out to every day things like working out side or hiking, #### i even wear it to wal-mart. I just don't care anymore what people think, i even pit...

viper80134

All i can say is WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

viper80134

Louisiana you are quite correct on that, no offence taken. When i used the alcohol i bloted a rag with it then rubbed it on the main parts of the jacket and tryed to reframe from useing alot around the stiching. Since i've done it i haven't noticed any frays as of now. Then saying "a little goe...

viper80134

When i got my goat wested it i wanted to make it look used as well. I looked around and found that Rubbing alcohol was the best thing to use to take the sine off of it. Here are some before and after pics of the aclohol treatment. All i used was a rag and rubbed it into the jacket in small sections ...

viper80134

wow much thanks fedora, This will have to tide me over till i get my AB Deluxe. Can hardly wait

thanks Fedora hats off.

Welcome to the madness that is indiana jones gear, Its easy to get cought up in. I too share a simmiler story about how i grew up with indy and became infatuated with the HAT. My first was a DP a so call offical from Disney when the first opend the ride in LA. But it served me well and i never went ...

viper80134

Awsome already tried my hand at it but didn't have any pics to go off of, thank you.

viper80134

awsome find, I too have been looking for something like that but as you pointed out $500 +, is a little steep. But you have a real peace of history now, don't know why any one would have gotten rid of sunch a beautifull case.

viper80134

This is great new Marc I can hardly containe my excitement when its time to order. Keep on the great work bro

Regards.

viper80134

Here check out my thread, viewtopic.php?t=30133 Mines once of the older Peter Bros befor they offered pure beaver pelt. But i originaly had it custom maid for the LC and has lasted me about 5 years now great hat no complaints. Hope this helps

Regards.

viper80134

Personally I think I like this one the most: http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e132/jcg60625/sweat2.jpg Regards, Marc Personaly I like this one the best, I love the saying and its so true with most of the gear especaly the Hat. Can't wait till they are available to purchase. Any idea on a ETA ?

viper80134

Theres always the one you can get from the pop tarts carton lol....

viper80134

Wow yes your one of the first i've seen from the area, I thought i was the only guy man enuff to where a lid around this town. Nice to know i'm not alone now $\:D/$ . I'm originaly from Colorado but i've moves all over tampa the last few years. Nice lid Blaster what kind is it.

I think what you have to start with is good, Its simple and proffesional. How ever i do like the idea of puting the movie title on the bad as well, if not that how about

"CS Bashed"

or something to that effect.

viper80134

I think the AB's looked fantastic in the film. Best Indy hats since Raiders! Congrats again to both Steve and Marc for getting their works of art in the film. 'Blues Couldn't have said it better my self, hats off to you two :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :notworthy: :no...

viper80134

Ah I see what you meen i'll have to try that out. One thing that i wasn't sure on was the curve of the brim twords the sides and back. Does it need to be flater or is it good where its at?

viper80134

Thanks you should have seen it befor it had a bad tapper effect. Never noticed it till some one said something then i couldn't keep my eyes off of it. So i tryed my had at bashing it, thanks for kind comments.

viper80134

After seeing the movie I had my likes and dislikes, but there was no question that I loved what AB did with his new hat. So I recently bashed my PB to try and match what was on screen. Its not the best but it will have to tide me over till I get my AB from the master artists themselves. Let me know ...
