I would love to see a video of this Steve!

thegreatgalling

As far as I am concerned, whatever you post is FACT Steve, not truth.

thegreatgalling

Woooaaa. Just noticed this after all these years! Indy actually loses his whip in the first scene of Raiders! When Indy hands Belloq the gun, Belloq is holding Indy's whip! He is still holding it when Indy gets up to run toward the plane. This may prove Indy replaces his gear, although I STILL belie...

thegreatgalling

Remind me not to read this forum while in class! I totally laughed out loud during a serious moment and got flashed the eyes of 30 people!

thegreatgalling

That inspired this alternate idea: The film is about Indy's "last" adventure before retirement. At the end of the adventure, his hat blows off his head and slowly falls thosands of feet over a cliff. Dejected, but glad his mission is complete, he leaves. At the end of the film Indy recieve...

thegreatgalling

^ Yeah, just teasing. I agree a scene like that might be cool.

thegreatgalling

^ I dunno. Sort of think like sausages and laws, its prob. best not to know exactly how they're made. If we saw the process, we would lose the imagination.

Besides, why would Indy need a hatmaker if its the same hat?

thegreatgalling

I am really suprised about how many people here believe Indy would have had multiple hats. Maybe the more knowledge you have about hats, the more you know it would really be impossible.

I just think it seems cooler if it is the same hat.

thegreatgalling

I guess in that case, he'd do what I did...

BUY ONE OF EACH!

thegreatgalling

Oh, its def. brown, but its lightened with age. Still too busy with school to take a decent pic, soon!

thegreatgalling

Def. appreciate the info! Thanks Michaelson and Steve!

thegreatgalling

I can't see any writing under the sweatband Jnicktem, and it looks like the liner is glued in the hat.

I will try to take better pix BW, thanks for the suggestion!

thegreatgalling

I should reiterate, I am trying to find out roughly how old this model is, what color it appears, perhaps the felt material, condition, etc.

thegreatgalling

Hey gang, I would love to learn more about this Peter Brothers hat I picked up a while ago. I was told it was a "_" type Raider's hat, made to look like the Peruvian Temple scene. I really love the color, almost a greyish brown. It is VERY stiff, and the crown is high. http://i160.photobuc...

Or FIVE times a couple!

Would never say it wasn't worth EVERY penny though...

Its for a good cause!

thegreatgalling

Hopefully, not to shift the topic too much, that photo (which I remember leading to a COW controversy regarding the bag-over the jacket- SHEESH!) shows a cool aspect of CS in terms of using darkened gear to convey maturity (darker holster, strap, and whip).

thegreatgalling

Is this the one? I appreciate the photo. That is certainly the scene I was refering too. I still have yet to find the pic I am talking about though. I will keep looking. To me, the hat in your photo looks bigger than the one I am talking about. Hey Steve, any more production photos you can share? :...

thegreatgalling

Ditto on the compliments DHW.

@jnicktem, that is one SMOKIN' lid! Have to agree with John, that is one fine profile. I have to agree it would hurt to sit on an AB deluxe

, but heck, I decided to go with distressing for my in-the-works AB. An Indy hat is an Indy hat!!!!!

thegreatgalling

^ True. Technically, there is no on screen confirmation about who made the hats. I take solace in knowing that its POSSIBLE in real life that a hat can be created to last (so it can be especially so in the films). As far as I am concerned Steve and Marc made Indy's one hat from YIJ on and I won't ac...

thegreatgalling

I think it means more to me have it be the same hat. I think Steve helps convince this hypothesis to me since I have a good feeling (and I think John has even said this), that a hand-made AB hat could easily last a lifetime. But the cool thing is that until established for sure on film, it's up to u...

thegreatgalling

Looks great, gotta' love an AB shot, no matter how many years old the hat is!

thegreatgalling

Is it possible that the "smaller" crown CS hat appears when Indy and Mutt are outside of Orellana's grave? I have a book called "Indiana Jones; the Ultimate Guide, and in it, there is a shot of Indy with a hat that looks much shorter. In this picture, his bag strap is OVER his jacket,...

thegreatgalling

Have to say, out of all the threads on COW, this one is my favorite. I could quite literally pull up a chair with some popcorn and devour the information you provide Steve, thanks so much. I love hearing the subtle details and it is def. fascinating to read. I for one cannot tell a single difference...

thegreatgalling

Never underestimate Steve!

thegreatgalling

I have to echo that my favorite CS fedora from the film is seen in the first few minutes: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/hattt-1.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/KotCS-fed.jpg Man I wish I could just reach into the screen and pull it out!!!! :lol: ...

thegreatgalling

Not to interrupt the discussion about Darren's lid (amazing), just wanted to thank everyone for their kind remarks (and advice).

thegreatgalling

I am so happy to report I sent over my order for a CS bashed AB Beaver this morning. Can't say enough how nice Steve was to work with, ESPECIALLY knowing how busy he is. Between John and Steve, I can officially say I have been spoiled by their kindness. I don't think I have been treated with more ca...

thegreatgalling

Thanks for the suggestion, shot him an email.

thegreatgalling

Thanks TP, yeah on second read it sounds like I know ENOUGH to just do it to my hat already! I was hoping there was someone who knew about the actual way in which the hat was distressed for the film and confirm my suspicions. Was it really FE? Do they start at the ribbon? Anyone know what else Berni...

thegreatgalling

Anyone?

thegreatgalling

Well, to take some inspiration from Yojimbo Jones, heres the two superimposed at half opacity: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/hatttttttt.jpg When the crows are adjusted, they blend in perfectly. The brim looks wider, but it COULD be because the LC brim has more of a curl. If...

thegreatgalling

If it helps, I have noticed these two hats appear to be the same one based on the dust patterns:

thegreatgalling

Hey gang, I haven't really seen much about the very specific way the CS hats were weathered for the film. In studying pics and behind the scene footage, I have noted three usual features: 1. The hat seems to be completely covered with a VERY light dusting of Fullers Earth. 2. The Ribbon seems to hav...

thegreatgalling

Well I'll def post a million pics of mine when it comes. (Don't worry Mods, a million = six pics plus links

).

thegreatgalling

I know this is the 8th time I have mentioned my SOC hat, but man, everytime I see a Penman posted it gives me goosebumps and a lot of happy impatience! Very, very nice Chewbacca Jones!

thegreatgalling

Definitely more work than just turning the hat or recreasing!

thegreatgalling

No prob, I can't wait to see it!

thegreatgalling

I for one am glad to put decisions about my upcoming SOC hat directly in your hands! $\:D/$ , but do feel free to experiment away!

thegreatgalling

Wow Fedora, thanks for responding! Def. cool to be part of this forum.

thegreatgalling

Hey gang, After looking and looking, I have come across many pages dedicated to bashes, brim size, crown height, ribbons, etc., but the one thing I haven't seen a lot are pages dedicated to the bow itself; in particular, its placement over the ear. We have all worked on acheiving "the look"...

thegreatgalling

Yeah, ever since you pointed it out Frosty, I have been frequently lowering it, but it seems to pop back up as soon as it goes on my head. Maybe the turn affects it?

thegreatgalling

Hey John,

Did you see the pics of the SU hat I posted?

thegreatgalling

I am just really greatful John's bash came back. I can assure you, usually, things I try to make better don't have a similar happy ending.

I think your hat looks great Frosty!

thegreatgalling

I am on the list for a Penman Streets of Cairo hat. From the way John describes these, it is going to be amazing!

(Figured one LC type bash, and one Raiders should hold me for a while

)

thegreatgalling

I am sure your hat will settle with some time. On the bright side, you can always send it to John. His bashes eat other hat's bashes apparently. :rolling: Pads are OK as long as they are comfy. This is the best hat I have owned in my life, and I can't wait to be blown away by the Penman I am waiting...

thegreatgalling

The only explanation I can think of is that I fooled myself into thinking I was making new creases, and in reality, I was doing nothing except bending the hat in an unharmful way and in some cases, possibly reenforcing John's bash. I was creeped out to say the least, but at the same time I am thrill...

thegreatgalling

Funny you should ask that. This is my version of an LC hat. After thinking long and hard, I decided I wanted to remove what I saw as a bit of turn from the hat. Seeing the felt was so soft, and the creases didn't seem to be sooo set in, I did the brave thing (and stupid thing, come on it was a Penma...

thegreatgalling

Hey guys, here is my Henry with John Penman's bashwork. As he showed it to me: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/hat-1.jpg And today, with a little flare: http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/00.jpg http://i160.photobucket.com/albums/t166/thegreatgallina/1111...

thegreatgalling

Hey, thanks for the note. Unfortunately, I realized that this hat was a Henry with just John's magic bash work and thus didn't count for this thread, so I will have to find a new home for the pics. (http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=34575&p=664375#p664375) But I def. owe John a deb...

thegreatgalling

By the way, John has to be the nicest vedor I have ever come across. I am almost certain his given name was John Customerservice Penman, because it certainly is his middle name!
