Re: Does anyone know when Advintage will start taking orders again?
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.

Re: MY FEDORAS AND YET I WANT ANOTHER
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.

Re: Stetson Temple
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...

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...
