Bogart Fedora

I would like a Bogart Fedora like the one from the Maltese Falcon or Casablanca. I can't tell what color it is though, from the B&W films.
Can anybody point me in the right direction?

Karol Bilecki 9 foot indy

I just got her in the mail. It took forever to get it through customs from Poland. I am basically a nylon whip cracker, so this brand new kangaroo whip seems stiff and hard to crack. I don't know how long they take to break in, but I am looking forward to it. Why 9 feet? Cheaper than ten feet, longe...

Have a look at these !

They do seem to be old US Army issue, I dont know the age, but they look like pre-WW2 but not quite as old as WW1.
The look ideal for an Indy boot.

He took every conceivable measurement! The jacket ought to fit like my own skin.

Im not even concerned about details. When a member of COW makes an item, I have no doubts that it will be all-out Indy.

step one is already giving me trouble. i turned the hat, but that changes the brim shape into high on one side low on the other, not at all like the pics... how far is the edge of the ribbon from the center ridge of the front of the hat?

I was thinking a whip kit that was specirfically for making an Indy 12 plait 10 foot whip, screen-accurate, would be a lovely item.
Anybody make that?

I understand the the moviemakers used civilian boots, but I had always assumed that was because they did not have ac...
