Looks like the Demand of Destiny has forced Thomas to pause new orders again. I really want to save up for another. Maybe a Masterpiece this time.

Hedji

It's a gorgeous hat, for sure. I love my Temple of Doom from Thomas. I don't think it'll be my last AdVintage either.

Hedji

Congratulations, Croft. That just looks superb.

Curious why you didn't want the turn?

Hedji

Based on your criteria, it seems to fit your bill. I'd say, go for it! It certainly isn't screen accurate! But Stetson of course did provide a hat for Temple of Doom, so that's kind of cool. Now, personally, I'm not wild about the way they show the brim or the button on the ribbon, but if that doesn...

Hedji

Great looking hat. I really love the warm color.

Hedji

Awesome photo! Lots of smiles there. Merry Christmas!

Hedji

Looks awesome! Nice score!

Hedji

Hot diggity that looks awesome.

Hedji

You could potentially Dremel or cut down the legs of the stand maybe just enough to shorten them. Just a thought.

Hedji

Wow, what a beautiful collection! I wonder, as an alternative to displaying them upside down, if there's enough room for small hat stands to help them keep their shape? https://www.amazon.com/Western-01031-Adults-Rest-Black/dp/B00H58NXFY/ref=asc_df_B00H58NXFY/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvad...

In my experience, Thomas was a pleasure to work with, and I absolutely adore my Temple of Doom. I can't even imagine how nice the Masterpiece version must be. I will likely be coming back one day for more from him. AdVintage has definitely ascended, and shows no signs of slowing down with the divers...

Hedji

I'm going with a jungle/Raven bar clean look too! I'm not a big fan of the cowboy curl on the idol Grab hat unfortunately, even though it's still epic. Superb choice! And iconic! It was the reference used in the movie poster: http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=71976&hilit=+amsel

Hedji

Thomas from AdVintage suggested one for my hat, which while the right size for my head, is not as oval shaped as my head. I'm very hesitant to do so, because I have no experience with such things, and I'd be afraid to deform the lovely shape that it has. Steam definitely terrifies me. One thing I do...

Hedji

I hope you do too. I am considering a Nolan, and could use a little confidence before proceeding.

Hedji

Good decision. If it's within your budget to go with a custom fitted hat (Steele & Jones) made to your liking, that's almost always preferable to an off the rack hat, no matter how lovely. I have a custom AdVintage hat made of beaver felt, and it is truly out of this world, but it's the next lev...

Hedji

Thanks for the honest and fair review. You're braver than I'd be to put the steam to a limited edition item, but then again, if you're that unhappy... I find it astonishing to hear it had not turn in it. And you say the pinch was heavily starched... did that come out pretty well with the steam, and ...

Hedji

Aw yeah! That is VERY nice! An excellent score, and glad you're happy with it. Another week and your hat will bond with you. It's like a living thing that needs a wee bit of time to mesh with you.

Hedji

Yeah! Great news! I'm relieved for you.

Hedji

Yes thank you to the whole community for your help. If the knower of things says we're done, then who am I to argue.

Nuff said!

Some of these I had a friend take from about 8 feet away

Hedji

I LOVE my hat. It's a work of art. Thomas is a Master of his craft, and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone. In fact, I can't even begin to imagine his Masterpiece being even better than this standard, but I'm sure if anyone can take it to the next level, it's Thomas. I've had it a week ...

Hedji

I'm trying to get a number of hat stands for places where I remove my hat... at home on the shelf, at work on the desk.

Hedji

Haahah! Love it.... Clearly, you have a high end glove on the wall behind you. I forgot where I got my replica, but it is incredibly satisfying with the real metal blades.

I cute an Dorfman Pacific Indiana Jones down and it makes a GREAT Freddy hat.

End of June. Thomas got to it faster than estimated. Now that it’s shipped, the waiting is somehow harder.

Hedji

Come to Papa! On its way!

Hedji

I have ordered a pair and they're on their way. Beyond the information here http://indygear.com/igpants.html, what other suggestions should I be telling my tailor to get them hemmed the proper length? Is there any rule of thumb for measurement of where the back should fall or anything like that?

Hedji

Sorry, tubasthebest, I had forgotten I had seen it here first on the previous page, but for some reason, not seeing it formatted with the youtube code, my brain jumbled whether I'd seen it here or on facebook. Anyways, happy to re-share it.

Hedji

Not my video, found from a HJ facebook group.

Hedji

Sounds like it'll be fantastic! I'd love to see your reference photos for Well of the Souls. That hat for me, for whatever reason, is an elusive look that I often think of as an afterthought.

Hedji

I just surprised myself and splurged on a HJ, but it’ll be months before it’s any more than a twinkle in my eye.

Oh superb! Which one? What motivated you to take the plunge?

Hedji

I went with the Map liner. Just too cool not to. Playing around with some fun ideas for the sweatband engraving also.

Hedji

Ooooh! I believe you are correct! I’m even more pumped now!

Here's Kirk's hat:

Update: I have made my final choice and it will be MINE SCENE in regular Sable. Like this: https://www.advintage.de/index.php/2021/08/11/temple-fedora-hat-mine-scene-in-sable-2/?lang=en I made this choice because as much as I love the Rope Bridge scene and hat (on Ford), I decided I needed some tape...

Hedji

I love it!!! So cool! On a note of sincerity… we are ALL headed in the direction of “Old Indy”. I love that Harrison making Indy V increases the longevity of wearing gear for us older fans. And if he didn’t, there is Old Indy from the show. They’ve done a wonderful job of not capping the age limit.

Following Wested's measuring guide, I have a question about where to wrap the tape: The cut of our trousers is a classic cut and sit differently to modern cuts, this means the waistband measures the exact sizing, for example; a size 34" measures exactly 34". In modern cuts you get a bit of...

Hedji

Is water even necessary? I'm sure if you wear it around the house for a week or so with the sleeves bunched up like Don Johnson then the wrinkles will probably work themselves in. Or am I way off the mark here? I've found it quite easily begins to bunch and wrinkle on the forearms , but it's mild. ...

Hedji

So, having pivoted towards Temple of Doom (Bridge Scene), Thomas and I agreed that Sable would be the proper color rather than the darker true Sable. I'm also excited about this choice, because if and when I go with a Raiders hat, it will be distinctly darker than my Temple, and a good reason to pic...

Hedji

I’m a raiders hat fan boy so my vote is idol grab since it’s the cleanest raiders, maybe 2nd to raven bar. Although if it were me I’d go with SoC since it looks like a lightly worn in hat without the dirt I love your pics of the SoC hat! Knowing me, I will likely come back to the table for one. But...

Hedji

You won't be disappointed! Thomas is an excellent hat maker. Thank you! I have absolutely no doubt. And I've officially notified Thomas of my choice of Temple of Doom! Thank you everyone here for your suggestions. I really feel good about my choice, especially given this is beaver felt, made to las...

Hedji

I've had my Legacy Wested for a few months now. One could say I'm a bit obsessive when it comes to the "sleeve bunching". I absolutely adore the crinkled look of the sleeves, so I purposely ordered mine a little longer to give me some length to work with. Problem is, I also absolutely ador...

Hedji

I say go for the TOD style. As for the specific scene, I'd go with the bridge hat. Yep. Probably my favorite scene, from my favorite movie. I really appreciate all the advice. I am leaning toward Temple.... for now. I put in my order with Thomas months ago, and he's been so patient offering me choi...

Hedji

I’d go with whatever matches the rest of your gear, also I remember hearing that Thomas will bash it to any scene, so keep that in mind. Yeah, it makes my head whirl, because I have a Raiders jacket, and I do love the Raiders hat. The Temple of Doom hat isn't necessarily my favorite hat on Ford, bu...

Hedji

Thomas from AdVintage has been wonderful to work with, and the time has come for me to make up my mind. I just can't decide, because I really like them all: Streets of Cairo, Idol Grab Scene, or Temple of Doom. This will be my first major fedora since I sold my Fed IV. I hope to make it an everyday ...

Thank you. If it were a snake it would've bit me.

Awesome! Can't wait to see. Did you go with the distressed or clean?

Hedji

Excited for you all. This should be great!

Hedji

When I order these I generally get my usual waist size and they fit perfectly. You may need to advise them on your inside leg length though to get your perfect fit. I just followed the sizing instructions on their site when I bought a pair towards the end of last year, and they fit perfectly. As yo...
