Really awesome lid, my friend! Could you provide some specs on it? Did you get the "Smoke-grey" or the "steel-grey"? What felt stiffness and are you happy with that choice? Also, any chance of a pic of the liner? Thanks and congrats on finding your holy grail! Really great hat! -ZL

nicetrylaoche

Awesome! Can't wait to see pics! Congrats, my friend!

Awesome shot, Canasta!

Also, here is a link to a video from my wedding where my 3 very talented friends played the Raider's March on piano, violin, and cello. Notice my little bro tossing me my Adventurebilt as I exit the chapel. Enjoy! https://vimeo.com/83713660" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; A...

Besides the size of my head, I told him I wanted it to look as close to the "Drunken Monkey" Streets of Cairo hat as possible (as far as the crease and bash. When it arrived, the bash had loosened up quite a bit, but I did some fine tuning to get it how I wanted it. Besides that, I've babi...

Here is that same hat from above in my wedding 2 months ago

My AB seems to get more gorgeous with each and every wear. It also seems that for AB's, beauty increases linearly with sweat output ;) Also, I've finally got my first full gear pics up with my new Adventurebilt over in the general gear section. Here's a little sample: http://i1169.photobucket.com/a...

Here is the link to a post with some pics of my Adventurebilt that I wore at my wedding this past October. Enjoy!

Hey peeps, Just wanted to share a few pics from my recent wedding and engagement. My wife wouldn't let me dress in full gear for the wedding, but she did allow me the liberty of dressing us up for an engagement shoot in full costume (fist-pump). She also let the following Indy-ness slide on our wedd...

OH MY SWEET GOODNESS. That hat is beautiful.
May it wear you well

nicetrylaoche

Awesome finds, Gorak!!! So, other people besides me that are antique and thrift store regulars DOOOO still exist

Keep us updated with your adventures in these beauties!

I recently inherited a Todd's Custom Cowhide jacket from Gorak and am ecstatic to be able to post in this thread.

How long did you end up waiting in the end? And did you have any communication from steve before it arrived or did it just arrive one happy day? Seeing all these members receiving hats lately is getting me very excited since its been a long long time. Looking forward to more pics! Thanks for the co...

Wow. Sounds like my dad, except minus the fedora and insert a Brett Myers hairstyle...and throw a wheelie in there somewhere

nicetrylaoche

Yeah sorry about that...it's just the way program works. It mirrors the image. Here are some normal "unmirrored" pictures without my goofy head in them :) Still only iPhone quality though... :? http://i1169.photobucket.com/albums/r510/zrlindsey/IMG_0953-1.jpg THERE'S that bow...right where...

nicetrylaoche

Kim, you're right! Quite the memory you have there ;) I don't think I'll ever just "get used" to this hat...I think that every time I look at it or pick it up, I will always be amazed :D I think I dreamed about this hat so many times over the years that it still seems like a dream to me......

nicetrylaoche

Well folks.....my wait is over. I am finally a proud owner of a true Steve Delk original. I simply don't have the words :#: Let me just say that without my investment of time and patience, this hat would still be my most prized possession. However, with a little wait time thrown in and a free lesson...

nicetrylaoche

No worries! Keep up your hard work and thanks for checking in!

I wear a "7"...I hope I didn't miss the evolutionary transit line for nitty gritty folk...

Wouldn't happen to have any 7's would you, Lee?

Thought it would be more appropriate to change this post to a PM so we can stay on topic

That's frickin' awesome. I looked for one of these a couple of years back, and soon gave up this search when I discovered Saddleback leather company and bought one of their awesome briefcases (their 400 year warranty sold me) :D Seems like you've made a great find with this one though. Do you have a...

nicetrylaoche

Man! That carbon-grey Fed above is stunning! I hope that hat's being worn in good health!

nicetrylaoche

A Todd's ToD or LC...I might just buy them both

nicetrylaoche

Love what you did with it, Oildale. Did you say it was originally bashed WITH the turn? I can't really see much turn at all in that first pick...but that's only from an untrained eye. Did you get David to bash it after a specific scene originally? Thanks and great looking lid!!!

nicetrylaoche

Well, that hat looks super comfortable and is a perfect fit for you. Good choice indeed. Your pic makes me want to order a dark brown straw for this Alabama humidity...

nicetrylaoche

Judging by the taper, I'd say TOD...eh?

nicetrylaoche

OK, after a few days of torture, I hope you're ready for the verdict. First, here's the breakdown of the guesses: -8 Adventurebilt -6 Penman -2 Garrison's -1 Christy's -1 Keppler -1 Magnoli HJ -1 Adventurebilt Deluxe So, it looks like most people thought it was some form of AB....all I'll say is tha...

OK, here's another collective update:

-4 Penman Beaver

Since we've gotten a good number of votes, let's open the polls to any vendors that wanna give it a shot...
And just FYI, the hat looked stunning in person

Here's what we have as of this afternoon: -3 Penman Beaver -2 AB Henry -1 AB Rabbit -2 AB Beaver -1 Christy's As for Harrison Ford, never actually saw him. We got to work with all the other stars of the movie, but Harrison is playing the general manager who took a chance and signed Jackie to the Bro...

nicetrylaoche

OK folks, here's a quick update...
So far the guess distribution looks like this:

-2 Penman Beaver
-2 AB Henry
-1 AB Rabbit
-1 AB Beaver
-1 Christy's

Any more guesses? After about 5 more guesses, I'll open it up to vendors to take their best shot

Good luck gearheads!

I've been an extra for the past 3 days in a new film about Jackie Robinson being filmed in Birmingham, AL at Rickwood Field starring none other than the man himself, HARRISON FORD :whip: This film is obviously set in the 40's, so I've been immersed in a sea of fedoras, suits, and suspenders over the...

Woahhh! That looks soooo much like the exact tone of the Seaplane Raiders hat! Nearly brown in the shade! Sooo cool!

You have good tastes in hats, good sir

nicetrylaoche

Anyone received any Garrison's lately..?
If not, you could always repost pictures of you lids in a different pose

Love to see pics of these fine hats.

nicetrylaoche

Why isn't the Garrison on this list? I'm sure I missed it, but I just ran into this thread thanks to Sammy's bump

If you don't mind me asking, why are you just now waiting to ask this question, 2 years after you bought it? If it were me, I would've enquired about a reblock immediately

I mean, it is a custom hat after all. Do you remember if you gave him the right size initially?

nicetrylaoche

AWESOME PIC! A fellow ball fan, eh? As soon as I get my hat in the mail, you better believe I'll be sporting it to Turner Field in Atlanta with pride. America's pastime with a classy lid...seems like a dream! And your Dodger's won! What a day, huh?!

nicetrylaoche

Great lookin' hat. Nice work indeed.

nicetrylaoche

David H, STUNNING LID!!!! I ordered that exact hat from Steve and can hardly wait till mine arrives! I feel like a kid in a candy store when I see that felt, that ribbon, that liner, that signature....heck, everything about it! Oh yeah, not to mention that you sport it flawlessly. I can't tell wheth...

nicetrylaoche

Wow, awesome looking hat. It really fits you well! Gosh, these hats are all stunning! How is the flex of the felt? I'm guessing this is the rabbit?

Looks fantastic

nicetrylaoche

Now they're working. Thanks for posting the pics and that short video. As to this day, that' the closest I've gotten to actually handling an AB! Is that the beaver AB or the rabbit? Thanks again!

nicetrylaoche

Wow! Can't wait till next Friday!!!
Soooo excited...

nicetrylaoche

Yea, the link isn't working for some reason. Could you post the pictures here, and perhaps put the video on youtube?
Thanks!
