I think my Henry might be the most perfectly proportioned to my face hat that I have owned (and I bought mine second-hand). Everything about it seems perfect, from the height of the crown, to the pinch to the brim's width and dimensional cut. http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/hulkamad/Henry%20...

I've not added a photo here for ages, so here's one. Penman CS in Black Cherry, posted this hat before, but it is a real favorite. http://www.photo.uniqueday.com/Other/SmugShots/i-DKPM923/0/L/smugshot_3301683-L.jpg Whew! That black cherry is dynamite to look at! That is a sharp hat you have there s...

I have two Indy hats on order from Steve from way back in the day. I may have to change one of them to this color and style. Hmm... Should I give up my "Idol Grab" or "Streets of Cairo"? :-k Assuming this color felt and ribbon are still available. Anyone know? I already have a 2n...

I bet those shoes are some of the best shoes in the world... (They'd better be...)

am I to understand that a hat can be reblocked to the next bigger size? or slightly larger than originally blocked? Not trying to hijack thread, just curious. :-k Usually, yes. Although there is a possibility you may lose some brim width. Thanks for the info! I'll leave the thread like it was now.

Looks great hulkamad! These rabbit ABs look really tempting! Enjoy your new good looking hat! Thanks, Tremolo! I sure will! That's a wonderful looking Adventurebilt, hulkamad... and looks GREAT on you! Congratulations! :D Thank you for the kind words, Mitch! Great looking hat! Looks good on you! En...

Hello everyone, I've waited a long time for the privilege of posting in this thread, and that time is finally here! I can now proudly call myself the proud owner of an adventurebilt! :D I bought one second hand from a member here and it looks and feels great! I love it! It's a rabbit and is not bash...

Wow. Sounds like someone has been sampling the Moroccan ganja.

At least your dream was better than mine. I dreamed that the postal service delivered bluejeans instead of my adventurebilt hat.

What is it with dreams on this forum?

I'm going to have to echo everything Chewbacca Jones said. Everything he said is great advice. My own experience: My first hat was an Akubra Fed IV and it really was the perfect starter hat. Once you get your hands on it and put it through its paces, you get a good feel and better understanding of w...

Mitch,
That collection is superb! You have some wonderful treasures there. Those pics are causing my hat-appetite to salivate...

Fun with my Penman Raiders at MGM Studios at Disneyworld: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i201/illusion718/COW/DisneyTank.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i201/illusion718/COW/DisneyTank1.jpg http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i201/illusion718/COW/DisneyTank2.jpg Dave Great pics!

However, try convincing your wife, husband, or signifanct other, that your son/daughter age 6- 13 needs a "somewhat" SA accurate hat that will cost at minimum $150.00 USD and they may outgrow this hat in a year. That boat won't float in this house. We have two DP's in this house and both ...

I can't count the number of times I almost purchased that exact hat off of ebay prior to discovering the forums of club obi-wan. Even my annual trips to Disney world and visiting the Indiana Jones gift shop revealed nothing but hats of poor quality and poor selection. Since my "COW re-education...

So does anyone remember this hat?: http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/ABPICS007.jpg http://i7.photobucket.com/albums/y257/jnicktem/ABPICS008.jpg Well Steve reblocked it to a Raiders hat and said he sent it on Friday and should get to me by Monday. I am pretty excited to see it! By any c...

um, ya . . . =o) That was a comment made a while back on FL when I posted that picture there under a western hat thread. <hehehe> oh, uuhhh. yeah. Guess I wasn't as clever or original as I though... lol. Seriously, though that is a really great looking hat, you did a wonderful job. The compliments ...

I'm waiting to hear back from hatsdirect. I think I'd like to get a fed3 in black if one is available. If you wear one size in a fed4, is it the same for a fed3? I seem to remember that their sizing chart changed somewhere down the road and wasn't sure if it was inbetween the 3 and 4... :-k Is this ...

Ooh, intriguing! What are the specific differences between the fed4 and 3? How much wider is the brim of the fed3? Using the search feature leads me to threads that suggest different block shapes, the fed4 being more a "classic" shape block. (I assume it means more vintage-looking) I don'...

I am now the proud owner of a Penman and wanted to take a minute and thank John for his time and effort in making an order right. John said he was trying to figure out a better way to do measurements for mail order customers. He asked for some patience. A few days later, he called me. He was sendin...

I have been ill these past few days, and whenever I get sick I have the most awful dreams. Well, last night I dreamed that my adventurbilt arrived in the mail! \:D/ But when I opened the box, out folded 2 of the ugliest pairs of blue-jeans I've ever seen! :shock: :Dietrich: Why jeans were in the box...

Hey Garrett, that is one amazing looking hat! Hats off to John on a superb creation. :clap: :TOH: I'm jealous, I'm still waiting on my first custom Indy hat, I hope it looks just as good. You may recognize my username from another hat oriented forum... In fact, you've sold me a few of your hats, man...

Wow! Thanks so much for this! These pics are great. The explanations are even better. :clap: When I first heard of this site long ago on my search for the perfect Indy hat, the threads describing the different hat styles per scene were so confusing for me. :-k (SOC? Temple? DP? ABD? What are these p...

a chocolate-brown cavanaugh. Ah, my all time fav vintage brand of hat. Never seen a bad one. And I don't generally care for edge treatment, but the Cavanagh edge was really something. Wish they still made hats with this sort of edge. Bogey liked em too. I just happen to be wearing this again today ...

My normal attire consists of jeans, with a collared shirt over a t-shirt, and half the time I'll be wearing one of a half-dozen hats I currently own. I'm currently enjoying my latest acquisition; a chocolate-brown cavanaugh. My favorite is still my Fed IV in Moonstone. My other hats will tide me ove...

The gift shop at Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular Disney World were selling two different fedoras in 1997. One was leather, one was felt. I bought the leather one because I thought that it was a better looking hat. I still have it, my son wears it today. It doesn't look anything like an Indy Fe...

Hello all! I'm relatively new to club Obi Wan (lurker!) and a few years ago I purchased a Indiana Jones hat from the Disney MGM park in Orlando, Florida (I believe the park is now called "Disney's Hollywood Studios." -Whatever, I'll always call it MGM) It is not made of any kind of felt th...

And here we go! http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/hulkamad/Moonstone/25ForwardRightF.jpg As you can see, my face has melted off from the glorious majesty of wearing one of the greatest lids ever invented. (Actually, I'm one of those paranoid people who won't post pics of himself online. That w...

Guess what arrived in the mail a little while ago? What's this? A box? What awesomeness lies within? http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/hulkamad/Moonstone/1box.jpg My very first hat! An Akubra Federation Deluxe in Moonstone! Awesome! http://i709.photobucket.com/albums/ww92/hulkamad/Moonstone/2o...
