We can see easely the hollow on this picture.

fedoraiders

I like the all pictures but I love this one because it's the only one without the hollow on the left side of the crown. Look like the end of the shooting and when Desi acquired the hat.

fedoraiders

I don’t agree with you Castor Dioscuri but I agree with Advintage and Magnoli. Now, It’s just for the curiosity and the pleasure because we have substantially all the informations of this hat. Anyway, even if Prop Store would give some measurements, it would be impossible to recreate an identical co...

https://www.advintage.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/raidershatcrown.jpg The Fedora looks totally rebashed into a tear drop. How can it be so soft to take on the shape of a hat stand. I own a borsalino alessandria thats super soft and its bash come undone easily but not enough to conform with the si...

Here is my Akubra Fed in its current state. So far I have re-blocked it (3 times now) replaced the sweatband and the ribbon with supplies from Thomas at Advintage. It is my yard work and no worries hat. EVERYTHING i have done to it I have learned from the amazing people on this forum. Working on it...

fedoraiders

Unfortunatly no reblock restores the original form.

It’s an HJ reboot. I tried to give it a muffin top shape so it looks more SOC. Is that what you’re referring to? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro I think that on your third picture, the crown is really to taper on the back of your hat. It's maybe the hat block that HJ use or the angle of your...

Hey Jason Can you take a look at my bash and critique it? I’ve been using your insights as a guide. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180312/0682ca7156c130ce519e92a420890c59.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180312/2763d170b0a31d0f4f9d9b5eec4978bd.jpg https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20180312...

Welcome Michelle!

Your work are amazing!

fedoraiders

Thanks for your good words!

Yes, I use the iron and a special technique to shape my hats.

Thanks again!

fedoraiders

For me, this hat is perfect

I like to believe that the posts I created have served. In fact, I'm sure!

fedoraiders

Fedoraiders, you really should open up a hat-making business, even if only as a side gig. I think you get the Raiders hat in a way that few do. Thanks my friend! I don't want to become a official hat seller because I’m very busy by my true work and my family but If I could find good felt with a goo...

fedoraiders

I receive a lot of private messages on Facebook about my post on the height and the crown of the Raiders hat. I put the same messages on the Raiders of the Lost Cosplay Group on Facebook. It's very very important to have the real V between the front pinch and the crown like a Raiders hat. My hats ar...

fedoraiders

Hi Jason, This is a little off-topic, but you are obviously someone who has carefully studied crown heights. I would like to get your opinion on the crown height/pinch of the TOD hat (specifically where Indy looks at the stones in the village) vs the Raider's hat. Is the TOD height crown/pinch shor...

fedoraiders

I agree, it is very beautiful!

It may not be recommended but I prefer to put the stiffener directly on the hat with long distance or with a net. I made this operation at several time without problems.

Anyway, You make a very good job!

Congradulation my friends!

fedoraiders

Pardon me if ppl have seen this already... In this outtakes/bloopers video, 2nd scene, I think you can get a couple of good views of the hat as Indy enters the temple to recover the idol (and cracks up, forcing a cut). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA93BxwiXGw" onclick="window.open(this...

You can buy on ebay and it's a good choice.

fedoraiders

Thanks for the suggestions, Fedoraiders. Unfortunately, such fine adjustments aren't so simple, since the felt is so pliable is that it doesn't hold its shape. :? Any suggestions for making the changes stick? Do you have a hat stiffener because it's very good to change the shape of the hat. And aft...

fedoraiders

The shape look good!

I turn one of your picture to see in the good side because you take the picture in the miror.

It's just my perception. You can make this modification only with your hands. Don't use the water.

fedoraiders

Hello Mulceber, Your hat look good. It’s little bit too tall but because it’s a 60cm, it’s correct. It’s just my opinion but remove the banana on the top of your hat. The hat that worn Harrison Is not so pronounced. Forget this detail. Personally, I do not give much importance at this picture of the...

fedoraiders

Really? 3 1/2 to 3 3/4? So low? :-k Fortunately or unfortunately, the hat is coming with a crease already in it, but it shouldn't be too hard to pop out the crease and lower the crown. I just hope the old crease won't be too visible...if the old crease is visible, do you know of any way to make it ...

fedoraiders

Logically, Richard Swales has made all hats for Raiders with a same block. The hat on the down pictures is a another hat used in Raiders but this hat doesn't have a Raiders turn. The crown look very good on the front picture BUT the center dent is not depth like a true Raiders hat. The back of this ...

fedoraiders

Thanks, that's a real compliment coming from you. Every hat of yours that I've seen looks spot on. I'm impatient to see the new HJ as well. I'll take as many photographs and post as many measurements as I can. This should be a fun experiment - we have a hat from the Raiders block, so now are we abl...

fedoraiders

You are right, the center dent is another important point for a good Raiders hat. It would be difficult to explain this in English because I'm a French Canadian and my english is not better than few years ago. You are right, the hat that wore Harrison in Raiders have a very depth center dent. But t...

fedoraiders

Oh, I agree the crown is too high, although I suspect that is due to the depth of the center dent - the original Raiders hat had a very deep center dent, effectively pulling down the crown height to 4.75 inches (as you've posted elsewhere :TOH: ). From the pictures HJ has been posting, it looks lik...

I couldn't remember where I saw the pictures your post reminded me of earlier, but then I remembered it was while looking at the Adventurebilt 'Henry'. I can can clearly see in the Henry this phenomenon uncovered in your close research. For some reason it looks very boxy at a glance, but on closer ...

These are probably the best direct front pictures I have ever seen. After years of torment trying to get it right I gave up. Harrison Ford's slightly crooked nose always made me go nuts when I was trying to do tiny visual calculations and comparisons. Even with these full face-on pics it's still a ...

I guess Deborah Nadoolman's posterior is heavier on one side??? :-k :CR: Lol! Deborah Nadoolman is the costume designer who made the best costumes and the best choice for a hat.

I think that I have over 12,000 pictures and screenshot of Raiders and I have a lot of rare pictures. Few years ago, I have classified by date all pictures where we see the Raiders hat. I call this document: The evolution of the Raiders hat in chronological order. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq...

fedoraiders

I know that many fans don't see this detail or don't like to see this but this detail is very important for a true Raiders crown. The right side of the crown is taper. My pictures speak for themselves. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/oguyyq.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/GqK...

Thanks guys for your good words. Unfortunately, I don't reblock the hats because I had a bad experience in the pass. Last year, I reblock a hat for my friend and the seam leather had broken. Yes, A reblock improves the hats but it's impossible to have the same result as a hat 100% handmade and I'm a...

fedoraiders

The crown to the left and right of the pinch must be at least 1/2 " more than the front pinch. This is an approximation but really not far from reality. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/922/RCnRv2.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq90/923/Nd3Ktt.jpg http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/xq9...

From what I've gathered you're more of a hat "revisionist" than someone who makes them from scratch is this correct? If you ever decide to make customs I'd definitely be interested in having you make one for me. You do phenomenal work. :TOH: I made several hats 100% handmade and it's true...

Hello Fans of the Raiders Hat. I read a lot of messages about the perfect height of the Raiders hat. The height of the open crown is not the most important but it must be have between 5 3/8 and 5 5/8 depending the shape of the block. The most important is the height of the front pinch. The perfect h...

It's a shame that you aren't a vendor! Your SoC hats are incredible! Thanks for your good words about my hats! I sell a personal hat from time to time but unfortunately I do not take an order.

Beautiful work of Steele and Jones, I love it.

Congratulations Jim for this purchase and you took the good pictures!

fedoraiders

I'm very happy Odo, We understand us very well.

fedoraiders

Amazing work!

I would like to see the pictures on your head when you recive it.

It’s a opinion but no one should never take a picture of too close or a selfie because this does not emphasize the work and this distorts the hat.

fedoraiders

Thanks my friends!

I will make a little video to show this hat in movement.

fedoraiders

Fans of the Raiders hat, I would like to have your opinion. This is a new hat that I made with a rabbit felt that I bought in my country ( Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Now, I don't know the origin of the felt but I will look later. I think that the felt is too dark but I think it’s look good with a du...

Your hat look very good with a natural light.

The dust is a little bit too yellow but it's hard to find a good color.

Wearing it constantly, it's perfect to have a authentic look.
