Garrett, I am sorry that you are disappointed, I really am, but that is not quite correct. I am about 99% sure the hats I made for you and sent you have exactly the size you have ordered (56cm). I am measuring many times when making a hat and one last time on final inspection. However, things can ha...

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, I think CatManDoo88 is right, would be more reasonable to start with the Clipper for a grey hat, because it's more famous. Would start with steel grey in 100% rabbit and see how it works

adVintage

The Crytsal Skull Train fedora is a shade lighter, I think. My "mouse grey" should be closer than steel or smoke grey.

The Clipper is also available in steel grey and smoke grey. The adVintage fedora in the pic is steel grey.

Best
Thomas

Hi Howard,

thanks for the post! Which grey tone would you prefer? A blue-ish steel grey or a more beige smoke grey?

Wonderful pics!

You can even see the hatsize printed on the inside of the crown!
Can't wait to see the felt color in person.

... We won't release detailed measurements of the piece as it's not a relevant aspect for our potential buyers. Very best, Brandon :cry: Would take one or two minutes for you or another employee of prop store and would absolutely be awesome for the fan community... sorry, but I can't understand why...

Brandon, thanks for clarifying and the high-res pics. Sorry for being a pest, I assume you're getting bombed with messages right now and it is much asked, but it'll be awesome if you or someone else could take some measurements for the Indy fan community (brim width front / sides, bow width, bow mid...

Apparently, some employee, re-bashed the hat for the presentation. This occurred AFTER the first video we saw. COW member Fedoraiders (Jason) contacted Brandon immediately when he saw this disaster. Talked with him about the importance of putting the original bash to it. Brandon was very thankfull ...

I just get the article, the video won't play. :? Based on the picture, that doesn't look like the same hat to me. I'd be shocked if Brandon would allow the fedora to be rebashed in that way. He's a fan/collector and would know the importance of having the correct bash. To say nothing of the potenti...

Oh sh**! Just look what they did to the crown: https://www.advintage.de/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/raidershatcrown.jpg :x :x :x Where did this photo come from?

Brandon from "Prop Store" said it will be on display at the Auction Preview Exhibition from 6th Sep. - 20th Sep. in the Odeon BFI Imax in London

I'll definately be there with the biggest camera I can get

Hi, "old version" means that this is one a the factory Poets from Herbert Johnson I was offering till last year. It's not a handmade one which HJ is offering now. Furthermore the middle part of the bow is "inside out", you can see that on the second picture. The liner is white wi...

Yes, 5.5 inches = 13.97cm, so no difference at all.

Hi all, hope you don't mind that I take the opportunity to mention some details here.

I'm 179cm and I don't have such a masculine chin as Mr Ford, my face is rounder, but I think the SoC still works. At least I like it

Here are some pictures of my SoC Fedora, 100% rabbit, in different light conditions, on stand and on head: http://www.advintagefedora.de/socrabbit/9.jpg http://www.advintagefedora.de/socrabbit/8.jpg http://www.advintagefedora.de/socrabbit/7.jpg http://www.advintagefedora.de/socrabbit/6.jpg http://ww...

Unfortunately I can only post a pic of the hatbodies that arrived today (if that helps), will need about 10 days to present the finished SoC Fedora in this quality.

I just got my new delivery from FEPSA today and all fedoras are now also available in 100% rabbit. Super soft and the colour is just the real deal.

Do all hatters pre age the felt to extend the life between reblocks? Like how AB and Penman Hats do? Almost all custom hatters I know do more than just steam and block the hat. There are different ways to extend the durabilty of felts. Much water, heat and pressure (as fedoralover already said), bu...

Just want to add that my beaver felt bodies are a special order, too (no stock), and not only the color is custom

They can bear the comparison with the best, that's a promise.

so, is christy's or junior fedora more likely to taper? How does junior fedora respond to rain? Which one would make a better Raider hat? (i know that it is better suited for TOD or LC bash, but I'm planing to give it more of a raiders look). And I heard that Christys brim becomes very soft, which ...

Yes, the bow is not the most screen accurate at the moment. They make a different one for some months now (like they do on many modern hats). The front is attached within the bow and some centimeters inwards. If you don't like it, just send me a note with your order. I can change that easily before ...

I was just curious, under size it only goes up to 61cm, is it possible to buy one in a bigger size?

Thanks for the interest. Yes, I will have new blocks in a few weeks, I can offer sizes up to 62.5cm then.

Hello! I am happy to tell you that all adVintage Indy fedoras will now be made from the finest, smoothest and densest beaver felt you might have seen yet. Furthermore the colour of the felt now is real sable, and not dark brown anymore. I also would like to annouce that I have a new crown block desi...

I handled one of their custom fedoras a year or two back. I have owned and wear many top quality fedoras. The advintage fedora was not one of them. Not even close.

When Sean got his hat in September (shipped in August) I had one or two of very few sizes in stock, but most sizes were / are out of stock. I don't choose who get's a Poet and who not, I am happy to sell all I have

Great hat Sean. I have been trying to get a hat from him since August. He told me in August that they would be in by Sept, then is Sept it was Oct, then in Oct, it was November, now it isn't until July of next year. Yet he is advertising all of the sizes of the hats and you have gotten one, so I do...

Thus I offer my apologies. I was unaware of any changes to the either the felt used, much less the production of said. Thank you for correcting me and the clarification. I do have a question.

While I cannot say that I have handled one of their custom hats, I will say this, in looking at their site, I would suggest that their pricing for HJ's (especially considering how HJ's are now) are way over priced -- considering the (lack) of quality delivered. Not trying to put them down, but the ...

Hi,

just a quick note. All my prices (also hat prices) are all including 19% VAT. Non-European Union customers won't have to pay this. You can see "your" prices in the shop, when you create an account.

Hi there, here are some pics of my Raiders Block. This fedora is made of the new thicker Herbert Johnson sable felt (all new, no reblock, stabilized and finer surface), has a slight turn and a slightly shorter brim (7cm ad 6.5cm, any width possible). http://www.advintagefedora.de/bilder/hj-new/IMG_8...

I have reblocked some HJs in the past and I would offer you a free one. The only costs for you would be sending the hat to me and shipping back to you (might be a bit from the USA to Germany). I know that the ribbon bows HJ attaches to their Poets in the last years are terrible, so I would make you ...

Hi everyone! Just want to cast some light on this. I started selling the Herbert Johnson Indy Poets in 2002 with Replix.de (and Indyfedora.com), but it was a CS Adventurebilt I got from Steve in 2008 that got me into hat making. Haven't seen a hat in this quality before that and just wondered if I c...
