I bought my Uptowner the first week that Todd started selling them. Mine has really been put through the ringer and it still going strong. I do yard work in mine. My favorite hats used to be ball caps but this is much better at keeping the sun out my face while mowing. When its dirty just use a vac ...

I got my Todd's Standard for my company Halloween party. It has been my best friend ever since. I distressed it to get rid of the "new" appearence, dusted it all up for that one day but after a good cleaning and coating of Pecards it is perfect again! I used to wear sweatshirts or pull ove...

I was able to get this look with some Fullers earth and a dry paintbrush, applying the earth specifically to this area. Hey, thanks for the great tip!!! I did not use fullers earth. I burned a half of bag of BBQ charcoal in the grill and collected the clean white/grey ash that is left over ( I didn...

I finally got my Uptowner aged and dirty enough... here are the after pics... sorry no before but we all know what a new one looks like now.

One of my first purchases in the Indy gear world was 2 of these original bags from WPG. One was really great and the 2nd was just pretty good. I tried to wash the good one in a bucket of warm water with fabric softener and it simply disintegrated. It was sickening to think that I had destroyed this ...

Sorry guys I was away... here is a link on that Target shirt. It is made by Converse. The local store that I saw it at only had small. I seemed to be made out of a cotton blend. They list it as a shirt jacket but it was kinda thin for a jacket but it is long for all you tall people. Just got to get ...

I found this at Target today and took a pic with my IPhone.

Too bad the only color is green.

Mine had some wave to the brim when I first took it out of the box but I reshaped it and set it on a stand and it seems to have held it shape. Like I said I plan to give it a work out to distress it so we will see how it turns out. I have a Penman on the way but by the schedule he is on it won't get...

The bill buckled on me. Todd acknowledged the problem and accepted the return of the hat for remedy. Seems my hat did not have sufficient stiffener in the bill. Mike What does a buckled bill look like? I am still in the try out phase with mine and haven't found any problems except I got mine a litt...

Will do !!!

Plan to get started this weekend.

Got my UpTowner today!!! I have been using a wool felt Disney world hat that I got years ago. This hat is so far ahead of the old hat that I feel like a new adventurer. It is very soft and flexible. The brim was a little wavy from the trip but was very easy to reshape and put back into place. I am s...

Whats left? MidTowner?

Todd is getting close to cornering the market on great Indy wear...just one item left.

(whispering to Todd "field of dreams" style) "Make some pants and they will buy"

Looks like a great hat... mine is scheduled to be delivered on Wednesday!!
Thanks for the preview. I was a little worried before I saw the pics.

Lol I knew that someone here would jump on it to break the story on new gear. I was torn on which hat to order and delayed to try and hear some more about it. I also emailed Todd to describe the differences in the hats. Do I get the downtowner that I have seen pics here and know that its a good hat ...

Hi guys Well, I guess I will be one of the first guinea pigs. I just placed an order for this hat. I have a Penman on order but it will not be ready by my company Halloween party. I need a better hat than my 15 year old Disney World hat and was going to get the Downtowner but what the heck its only ...
