Still pretty cute, though.

Getting blown off my head and into oncoming traffic and then nearly run over multiple times would be sure to age any hat.

JME2

My Fed IV has served me well over the last year, but we're getting to the point where I'm considering a re blocking as well as other, more professional tune-ups to the ol' girl. Does anyone know of any good hat blockers in Northern California?

JME2

My Fed IV for everyday situations and my AB Magnoli for special occasions.

JME2

Wow; VERY nice.

Yeah; as I said in an earlier post, I never was able to get the Raiders pinch I wanted. Size 58 is my preference, but Size 59 would have been better suited to it. Still, TLC is my favorite Indy film so I'm not complaining...

I've been debating whether or not to get the PB Indy Straw hat; I'll probably be placing the order soon.

Looks lovely.

Well nearly two months later and I think the Fed IV's well worn in, as this shot from about two weeks ago shows. Never quite got the exact ROTLA pinch I wanted, but I still like it. Now, combine this with the hopefully imminent arrival of my Magnoli HJ and my graduation celebration will be all the m...

Oy; that's terrible, Scot.

Nice pics, Mitch.

Heh, indeed.

Top looks great! Is it turned? Also, the side dent on the non-ribbon side looks to be set a hair to far back. Try making it a bit more shallow. Again, keep it up! You're doing great.

Thanks for the advice; the front and the brim are giving me trouble, but I'll take another crack at them during my lunch break.

JME2

Isn't there a theory that states that the hat's condition in the Cairo sequences was the felt reacting to the heat of the Tunisia desert?

I second gsolideogloria's motion.

Anyway, I just placed an order for a Fed IV Delux, Dark Brown about 15 minutes ago. This will be my first go at bashing and I'm looking forward to it. I'll be posting pics hopefully within two weeks; thanks again for your help, Jonsey.

JME2

Thank you, Jonesy.

JME2

Hey, I'm thinking of purchasing a Fed IV alongside the Magnoli HJ I have on order. I know from previous comments that the hat's not fully 100% SA, but for getting the closest to the Indy fedora in either model, Dark Brown's the way to go, correct? A stupid question, I know, but I just wanted to veri...

JME2

Fact is the customer service regarding information about this (not at all inexpensive) item is lacking also - one line emails stating the 'wait time has been extended' doesn't really tell me much or make me feel valued. Magnoli's catalog is impressive and I'd like to order more stuff, but with all ...

JME2

I've tried to be patient myself, but again with all due respect to Steve, I've become more and more frustrated as the wait keeps getting upped. I know my frustration doesn't compete with any of the AB customers, but it's still annoying, especially with the large financial investment and the issues o...

True. I'm just concerned about getting it due to...changed circumstances on my end.

thecoolmiester wrote:well, tell us when u get it.

As will I; mine was ordered in October. But with all due respect, I'm a little concerned if the wait time has increased by another two months.

And who reblocks them? is it the guys at AB?

As of the end of January, the backlog was about 5 months.

A very nice AB.

Looks nice.

Always wanted a black indy hat to go with the red shirt I have. Actully I want a complete Indy outfit in black and red and have it be "Dark Indy" and could tie in with the story line from tod, what wouldve happend if shorty didnt wake indy? Heh, that sounds like a pretty interesting look,...

JME2

Nice shots; really looks to be in good shape.

JME2

Still looking good; can't wait to see more pics.

JME2

Yeah, that's coming along nicely; looks good.

JME2

Very nice; Indiana G; I really like the color, too.

JME2

Heh; nice find.

JME2

As for "the turn"? Yes, please... a little turn never hurt anyone, right? I thought the turn went into the Magnoli HJ's by default (as it is Steve's blocks) or am I mistaken? :? Steve, if he bashes a hat he turns it first unless the customer ask for it not to be turned. Heh, glad I kept m...
