Blockbuster has a bunch of nice Indy stuff including baseball hats for $12.99. The same hats are selling for $21.99 at MGM (Hollywood) Studios. I was going to buy one when I was down there last month, but I opted for a Raiders t-shirt. I am glad I did, because now I can buy one and have money left ...

Indycop

Looks great!

Indycop

Thanks! I will look for the scotchgard for now. I like the way it looks now butr was just worried about protecting the leather.

Indycop

Thank you! It's called "Remembrance" A tribute to 9/11. The silver on the ribbon is for the towers, and the pin for those who died.

Indycop

I got this for Christmas, I believe it is the vintage cowhide. Do I need to use some kind of leather conditioner on it or will it be ok as is? It would seem that if I put something on it then the aged look would become shiny. http://i212.photobucket.com/albums/cc303/jhannafo/PC250096-1.jpg http://i2...

Indycop

Got this from Art, and waiting for a reblocked AB from Steve!!

Indycop

Cool! good to know! Thanks!

Indycop

yeah, but with Steve being so busy and having just gotten it I will wait until later for a reblock. I wasn't even planning to order one until a month or two before the movie. It may have something to do with the seller saying it was supposed to be a 7 7/8 and the fact that it fits me a 7 5/8 perfect...

Indycop

I bought this one from the classifieds on FL. The seller said it was supposed to be a 25 inch long oval but was tight on him and since I am a 24 in. lo I took a chance that it would fit. It fits perfectly! I guess it's just a basic raiders bash, he said he had Steve style it. So if it is from any ce...

Haha! no but I have had to get her a fed!

I received my metro 1945 #15 today! Ken did an excellent job with this hat!

ACU's and a bullwhip nice combo! Hat looks great!

Indycop

No pics yet?!

Indycop

And on a positive note in regards to good looking hats, Ken has finished my Metropolitan and will be shipping it out very soon. He had also informed me that he is beginning to fill orders as well. Good news for all. :D Now will be the anticipation for when it shows up, so I figure that the end of n...

Indycop

Pics!! Does the resize option not work for you? Its on the top left when you make the pic large.

Without the hat!

Indycop

Just to let everyone know I got an email from Ken, he said he is back on his orders!
P.S. Number 15 will be shipping out headed for Florida this Saturday.

Indycop

Sweet!!

I have 2 hats made by Art, A Hoosier and one of his light weight bodied hats. Art's a joy to work with, he'll send you a conformer which will measure the size and shape of your head. These measurement will be kept on file for future needs. Once you've worn a hat custom made to your head it's hard t...

Indycop

That's a beautiful hat! Is it about the same thickness as a panama?

Indycop

I must have missed the thread Fatwoul, why do you need a replacement liner? I didn't post the reason on here, Erin, cos I'd just posted it on FL and couldn't be bothered putting it on both. :oops: Actually the reason was simply because some brown dye from the hat had run onto it when the hat was we...

Indycop

That thing looks really classy! The ribbon goes great with it! Good job!

Indycop

I wear cotton boonie caps when training at work. You can roll it up when you're not wearing it and stick it in yer side pocket.

Indycop

looks great!

:D yes you should get a bigger size! But get a 61 Bogart and if it doesn't shrink like you want it then put it in the cairo bazaar for CHEAP! Will only ship to North Florida! :roll: :wink: Haha. Nah, if I ordered a 61, I'd keep it for next summer. I was thinking about going camping, and that would ...

Indycop

it could be just me but, it looks like the front is slightly lower than the back???? I remeasured and the back had rolled its way back up at least a half inch. I brought it down considerably and used distilled water on it and the front pinch. So now its drying with a little clip on the back to hold...

Indycop

ok, its not very good but its a side shot. It was bright out so i'm all squinty.

Indycop

I will take more today

Indycop

Anymore akubras? Erin? Fatwoul pics with your new brim?

Indycop

welcome!

[/quote] Yep, that's me!! I am working on an Indyish bash for it, thanks to fatwoul. Indycop, that is what I am wanting mine to looklike when I am finished. I think it looks great!!!!!!!1[/quote] Everybody was right! Its easier once you stop babying it and just do it how you want it! If ya don't lik...

Indycop

oh but what if it shrinks down to a 60!

Indycop

I thought OT meant he was gonna be into OverTime with everything going on.

shows what I know!

means we have more room for our big brains right?
Is ken making the noir now?

Well, guys, I'll gladly take the leap if you pay my rent this month. That, or find me a permanent job that pays a decent wage. (Freelance and temp work is so inconsistent.) What was that? You guys are going to send me every penny of your paychecks? You guys are swell. :wink: :roll: you obviously ha...

Its definitely black , which by the way is the color of indys travel hat before the sun faded it to a grayish color! JUST kidding!

Indycop

fatwoul wrote:Yes, that's better. I agree with Ripper - it looks great.

Forgive me if this has already been posted somewhere, but what size is this one?

Good job, anyway.

You had to ask! Its a whopping 61!

Indycop

That hat looks great on you, SantaDan! :wink: I like the richness of the color, too. :tup: A Camptown is the next hat on my list when I have expendable funds. (AB number four is somewhere in progress, but I like a variety of hats from different makers. :wink: ) Live it up ! All funds are expendable...

Indycop

Ok! Is this any better?

You can see the sweatband since its a little loose but I think it will shrink.

Indycop

When I took those pics the back was a little higher than the front. I've got it down lower than the front now. I'm thinkin I'm gonna get the al capone comments more than the religious comments. :roll: I'm also liking what looks to be some reverse taper on (your) left side. As for Mr. Capone, if any...

...Fatwoul I did finally get the humps in the front, just have to look at it from the right angle, if that makes any sense. It makes absolute sense. That's how they work. Tilt your head back, and you get a kind of point, and as you bring your head down the point turns into a curve, then a dent, and...

Indycop

what the height front and back? 5 in. Above bow. 4 1/2 in front, just over 4 1/4 in rear. Since I was I measuring I compared it to my PB. 6 in above bow, 5 in front , and 4 1/2 rear. Also deeper center dent in pb by just a little. Looking at the center dent in that akubra, I'm thinking if I try to ...

Indycop

BendingOak wrote:the only problem I see (from these pics) is that the center dent is to low in the fron compared to the back. Might be hard to fix without some small amount of cold water.

Oak would you try to redo the front higher or take the easier route and lower the back?

Indycop

Indycop - you've got an ornery one there. Just don't let it win! Show it who's boss. If you sit to watch tv for a while, wet it and hold it down while you watch tv for a while. 5 to 10 minutes should do the trick. As for the tight crease, if you want to do it dry (to avoid discoloration from the wa...

Indycop

Nice lid, GCR! Thanks! :tup: Here are a few more I posted in another thread not so long ago. They're probably better suited to this thread, though. For all those who think that their Akubras are a bit on the stiff side when new, all I can say is... wait . http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p163/GCR...
