Thanks Steve, I will give the steam a try.

suburbancomics

Looks like I am a little late to this party but I am having the same problem with my Mag/HJ/AB. Since it is HJ felt would it be a poor idea to steam the brim and reshape or should I give it a try?

suburbancomics

Here is my Disney Dorfaman that I tried oh so hard to make SA. I have since passed the hat down to a young adventurer in my family!

suburbancomics

Well at least you have a nice Raiders swoop going on with that lid indy89! $\:D/$

suburbancomics

Thanks for the good advice everyone. I did indeed by the hat to wear, so with that being said I will be taking my hat on vacation with me!

Thanks!!!!

suburbancomics

Hey everyone, I am going to be in Laughlin this weekend and I hear it is going to be very hot. Well I would like to take my hat with me (Mag/HJ/AB), but I have been reading many threads about heat, water, humidity, pretty much everything being a threat to my beloved stovepipe. Anyway, my question is...

suburbancomics

Hmmmm seems interesting. Do you have any pictures of what the finished product looks like?

suburbancomics

Awesome, thanks bink!!! I will now flip with out a care!

suburbancomics

I really like the way Indy's hat looks when the brim gets flipped up in the front, I also like the way it looks on my hat as well. But I am more concerned with the well being of my lid than I am with flipping the front of it up. So my question is, does it hurt the hat any to flip the brim up. Can it...

suburbancomics

Wow, those look great!!!!! Did you end up putting a new sole on with a tread, or are they still SA? I really like the darker look, I'll have to try the alcohol, pecard's, brown shoe polish technique!!!! Sole is original. Easy on the alcohol, so to speak. :D I would try it around the toes and front ...

suburbancomics

I think those look great knibs!!! Tell us what you did to distress them.

suburbancomics

Suburbancomics, anyone ever tell you that you look like Mr. Incredible from The Incredibles? Dave Hahaha, so funny you should say that! My friend has been trying to convince me for the last couple of years now that I should go to Comic-con as Mr. Incredible. He keeps telling me that I look like him...

suburbancomics

As for the box, 'fragile' just means 'kick on this side only'. :roll: Well, in their defense, mailmen have to use SOMETHING to block the wheels when they change a mail truck tire. :rolling: hahaha do you have a big book of mailmen and other related mail jokes in your back pocket or something?!!!

suburbancomics

Wow that box has seen better days!! At least you know that the contents of the box are "built to last"!!!

suburbancomics

The hat is indeed floppy and very soft Hollowpond. Although I want to eventually get it even floppier. I was watching Raiders and noticed that when Indy is riding the horse the wind against him flips the brim of the hat up. Now that is floppy! Alphared: I measured the crown it is 5 1/4 tall. Thanks ...

suburbancomics

Thanks for the nice comments folks!

Glad you like the shirt interchange, I got it from Target.

Alphared6, not sure how tall the crown is, i'll measure it when I get home tonight and get back to ya.

suburbancomics

Well the time has finally come to post some pictures of my Indy hat. For years I was only equipped with a DP Disney hat (which I did pass down to a young family member) which obviously just wasn't gonna cut it. So I set my sites on the Magnoli/HJ. Some of you might remember me from when I first got ...

Is this a common occurrence with this hat? I noticed two little stitch holes in the back of my Mag/HJ/AB as well.

suburbancomics

Agreed, that hat looks great! Congrats on the new lid jasonalun!!

suburbancomics

Hey alphared, the boots look real sharp. If it is not too much trouble do you think you could post a pic of the sole on the boot? Thanks!

suburbancomics

Yeah he still sends it with the oaktag, my Mags/AB/HJ came with it. I think sometimes because of the angle of the photograph it just looks like the oaktag isn't in there, the brim of the hat hides it very well.

suburbancomics

I am thinking of applying a coat of Pecards to my new Todd's boots but as I have never used Pecards before I was wondering if anybody has some hints/tips/how to on application. Just a bit concerned as to whether Pecards would affect the stiching on the boots or whether is ok just to cover everythin...

suburbancomics

Is the ribbon actually higher up in the front or is that just an optical illusion? That really makes it look very SOC! Hello, it's a optical illusion because my ribbon is straight. My front brim is more lower. Thanks mr. $3K touched on this subject ages ago about ironing the brim into the crown.......

suburbancomics

Scot2525, if both Magnoli and Steve have said that they will fix the problem then that is what they will do. And don't worry about having to wait another seven months. I had a problem with my hat, I sent it back and a new one was sitting on my doorstep in about three weeks. I agree that if you are n...

suburbancomics

Wow! Nice work! That fedora looks great, very streets of Cairo. Welcome to the boards.

suburbancomics

Could anyone that's received one of these recently post how long it took? Cheers. Yojimbo, I had ordered my Mag/HJ/AB late July of 08 and it arrived on my doorstep mid February 09. So all in all it took about seven months. I think the wait time also has a lot to do with the amount of hat bodies tha...

suburbancomics

Well I think it looks absolutely fantastic!!!!! I would like to try and get my Mag/HJ/AB to have a similar look!!! Great job Oak! $\:D/$

suburbancomics

That is one nice looking lid! Now what exactly did you do to it when you beat it up?

suburbancomics

Seems like something Magnoli would offer on his web site! Maybe this thread will inspire him!!!

suburbancomics

Just got my shoes yesterday! I didn't notice any kind of foul smell. The only smell I could detect was that of the leather. I really like the shoes and have to say that Todd has done a great job with these. They are extremely comfortable and they look fantastic! And has anyone else noticed the blazi...

suburbancomics

I bought the same gloves, after I cut the tag off and got them a little dirty they really started to look the part. I am trying to naturally distress them. As far as the smell, I haven't noticed anything out of the ordinary, so far they smell just like regular old work gloves. http://i14.photobucket...

suburbancomics

I just bought my Coyle's boots!!!!! I am really excited, I will post pictures when they get here!!!!

suburbancomics

as many of you are tired of listening

I for one am not tired of listening, there is much more to be learned from you Steve!

suburbancomics

Are these WL's? Or are they replicas? Either way if Magnoli has his hand in it (no pun intended) it is going to be a good one.

suburbancomics

Wow, that is a good find! Congrats!

suburbancomics

My money is on the the zipped up Raven bar look, very cool!!!!

suburbancomics

Oak, I agree with you 100%! My dealings with Steve and with Magnoli for that matter have been nothing but a good experience. The simple fact that Steve chimed in on this thread to personally handle things, shows his professionalism. As far as checking the box goes, lesson learned. Although like I sa...

suburbancomics

The thing is I never signed for the box, it was sitting on my doorstep when I got home from work.

suburbancomics

Fedora, in my opinion your reputation is far to great to be hindered by this. But I appreciate the fact that you really do care about the people you make hats for. I don't think the hat went over seas, I live in California and it was sent from you. Not sure what happened. I will send the hat back ou...

suburbancomics

Ok, thanks everyone. I just sent him a PM.

suburbancomics

Hi everyone, just had a quick question. I finally received my beautiful Mags/HJ/AB a few weeks ago (still need to post some pics of the actual hat) but when I took it out of the box I noticed some slight damage to the felt of the hat. Now I'm not really all too worried about what it looks like (as w...

suburbancomics

I wouldn't call that cheap, I would call that resourceful. That is a mighty fine looking strap there! Nice work!

suburbancomics

Wow the shop looks great!!! I really like how you displayed your Indy collection. Each shelf is it's own movie, that is very cool. Good luck getting everything finished with the the new shop!!!

suburbancomics

What is the bleach generally used for? Obviously for distressing. But what is the overall effect?

suburbancomics

At least you have a cool explanation for the eye injury. Lacerated by a bullwhip just sounds cool. Hope everything heals up quickly though.

suburbancomics

I think the extended wait time is just the way it goes. When I originally ordered mine, I was told 2 months. Honestly by month seven I was starting to get a little worried, but when my lid finally arrived, I felt as though it was worth the wait. Magnoli and Steve are the pinnacle of professionalism,...

suburbancomics

I had ordered mine in early July of 2008. It arrived on my door step about two weeks ago (pics to come soon). Soooo all in all around seven months!!!!!!

suburbancomics

That is a very photogenic fedora, and you wear it well.
