Hey all! It has been a long time since I've posted here. Today I was thinking back fondly of the day I received my CS Adventurebilt from Steve. Looking through my instagram I found that date to be Oct of 2013, nearly 10 years ago! Lucky for me, I share a similar head size to Harrison so this hat was...

Clipper

I ordered an Adventurebilt from Steve back in 2008. Never heard from him again or got to see any hat. But I did hear he had fallen ill and that his computer crashed at some point so he had lost a lot of orders. I hope he's okay and that my little "donation" came to good use during rough t...

Looks splendid! I'm considering a beaver poet myself... what color is yours? Regular sable or deep sable? Deep Sable was introduced this year, so a Sept 2019 hat would be standard sable. They showed me that they had two colors of Sable in the shop. Raiders Sable and Dark Sable which they used for L...

Clipper

Update! (please) haha sorry about that! Ok here's an update. This had become my number one fedora. Now all the rest of my hats just don't seem to look as good on me, or are as comfortable to wear. This hat holds its shape so well, yet the Beaver is so soft. It just feels good on the head and the le...

Clipper

May I inquire of the Herbert Johnson hat owners as to whether you notice a difference in floppiness or thickness in the HJ Rabbit and the HJ Beaver? If you have an HJ Rabbit but not a HJ Beaver to compare to, I would still be happy to hear about these details even without a Beaver comparison. Thank...

Lucky!!! When I visited a few years ago, Indy HJs weren't even a realistic option and I was directed to a different store. The third pic down though, are those both Indys? They look different in color, and I wonder if we'd have an option to pick what shade of brown to go with... Yes both were Indy'...

Clipper

Awesome lid! You need to curl that brim, though. Looks too flat and new. Give it some Indy character! :TOH: Oh I definitely will. I only got to wear it for a few mins before they packed it up to be shipped back to California. I’ll have my way with it when I get home and post new pics. I think I may...

Clipper

Hey everyone! Yesterday I had the pleasure of visiting Herbert Johnson while I’m vacationing in Europe for the next 2 weeks. I’ve been very excited to visit their store and to see their Raiders poet in person. The store is very small, but they had many hats to see including Last Crusade models in ra...

Clipper

Hey all, I'll be traveling through London in September this year and I definitely want to visit Herbert Johnson where I will probably just have to buy yet another hat. Im curious if I will be able to buy a premade hat right there in the store or do they only do custom orders? Their site says all the...

Splash some water over the ribbon there and the sweat stains will come right out. :TOH: -Clipper How is that Fed IV Deluxe I bought back in April looking, you ask? Well, thanks for asking! It's doing okay! :D Here's a pic from today: http://www.puuikibeach.com/images/hats/fed2018/fed14.jpg Of course...

It arrived! And wow it she a beaut! I mean it. I thought I had ordered it in the Raiders bash but it came open crown. Not a big deal as it did not take long to bash it using my Adventurebilt Raiders as a guide. First let me say this is an amazing quality hat. Not only does it totally nail the Raider...

Welcome Indiana augustus! The problem is, with exception to the fact that it is a brown fedora (and the Indiana Jones logo), the entire shape of the hat is really so far off from the real hats in the films. Can you post a pic? Depending on if the top is a center dent or teardrop will affect how you ...

Looks like we got our wish! Just ordered my smoke grey Harrison!

I will post pics when it arrives.

I would definitely be interested too!

Either Steel grey or Smoke would be my vote. There are hardly any offerings for a good grey factory Indy hat out there. I would love to see this happen.

The jacket arrived this morning just before I left for work so I brought it with me. I am VERY happy! I was nervous about the fit since this is my second jacket and for this jacket I wanted more of a slim fit. With lots of back and forth with Diego we agreed on a size 36 (down from 40 on my first ja...

Diego just sent me a few photos of my new 'slim fit' LC Jacket! Should have it in a few weeks now.

The distressing on these jackets is just unbelievable.

I just got these pictures from Diego.... https://thumb.ibb.co/dCBD2T/4_FA608_BD_D2_C3_4_F38_94_E5_197_C0567_F49_A.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/jGO498/648_ED28_C_47_FC_4_D0_A_8694_D5_B1_A0_C2_F71_C.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/eXR2wo/865_F2_BD8_2_C9_E_484_F_B9_CA_E98_FBFEFF314.jpg https://thumb.ibb.co/k6XLh...

I ordered one as well! This time in a slimmer fit. If anyone is interested, I am listing my current S&J LC Jacket in size 40. According to Diego it was the first jacket to incorporate the changes learned from the Smithsonian jacket. http://indygear.com/cow/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=68779" on...

Wow thats extremely tempting! Not that I need another hat...

Clipper

9 1/4" seems crazy long! I was able to get them to shorten the straps to 7 1/4" but the jacket is already being made so I guess I'll just have to see how the 24.5" back looks on me when I get it. So hard to know how it will look when my Todds is about 23" and is too short, and my...

Clipper

Looks excellent! Well done. Takes some courage to do a LC, but it looks great. What was your method? All done with sand paper? What leather is that?

Clipper

Hey Everyone, I just placed an order for a Raiders shrunken lamb hero but Im a little nervous about the details on the sizing. I typically wear a 38S jacket, or size small. I currently have a Todd's raiders jacket, and while I like it, the sleeves and back are a little too short on me which is what ...

Clipper

Finally got to wear my completed Last Crusade gear yesterday to the Silicon Valley Comic Con in San Jose, California. I got a number of nice compliments and made sure to give credit for the jacket and fedora to Steele and Jones. I even ran into a Dr. Henry Jones! And Kylo Ren thought I was Han Solo....

Clipper

The holster looks great. I followed your approach and got good results. Did you apply anything to the leather after you dyed it to hold the dye? Does the dye rub off or come off if wet? I am concerned about the color coming off on my pants. Thanks Thanks! Yes, on my last step here after the dye was...

Ah I see, thank you Clipper! :) That completely explains it; I've heard of doing the turn, but never realized that hats were creased after the fact. Makes complete sense, and excellent looking hat by the way! I'm very jealous! ;) Thank you! Yeah I agree, it looks really awesome by itself. However a...

Just out of curiosity, is the brim slightly longer on one side than the other? Dimensional cut aside, for the shots looking straight on at the fedora, the brim looks slightly longer on the left than on the right, and I was wondering if that was an optical illusion? I only ask because I have somethi...

Will John accept Adventurebilt reblocks and ribbon replacements anytime and what is his turn around for such things? Yes he will. He's taken over the Adventurebilt business from Steve and offers the same refurbishing prices as Penman hat owners. So, free bath and discounted reblocking. His prices a...

I've been meaning to post these photos since I got my AB Crystal Skull back from John Penman who reblocked it on his AB Raiders block, replaced the liner, cleaned it and replaced the ribbon. A couple before and afters: Right out of the box: https://i.imgur.com/XxrWMRql.jpg https://i.imgur.com/M1k0kP...

That looks fantastic! I love the fit of yours. I do wish now that I had ordered mine a bit slimmer in the body. It's the ONLY thing that keeps me from wanting to wear it every day. Unfortunately I only feel comfortable in mine with a sweater underneath or looser fitting pants. I love that yours is a...

Hey Holt! Can you repost here with new photos? Stupid photobucket... I am really interested to see the fit of your jacket as it's the best looking jacket I've ever seen. I remember these photos being great and was searching for them and they are gone! I'm finding that I'm questioning the fit of my L...

Clipper

To be honest, I think it looked better as a Crystal Skull fedora. :-k At least it'll get a reblock on the AB Raiders block so that the bash will match the block shape. :TOH: Well it's true that that's what it was created for. However my brim was too big according to all the specs I've found on the ...

Clipper

I've actually been on the books to send it in to John Penman for a re-block this or next month on his Raiders adventurebilt block. It also desperately needs a new liner. It has tapered quite a bit over the years. When I push out the bash the sides are not straight anymore. Not easy to tell in these ...

Clipper

Thanks for the info! I have a Penman ABL on order right now, and every time I contemplate getting another brown fedora, my fiancé gently reminds me that I have quite a number of Indy hats already. :lol: So this might be more of a distant future purchase. Thanks again for sharing! You can always sel...

Clipper

Yeah it was a bit stiff right out of the box, but wouldn't really call it overly stiff for a new hat. No more stiff than a new Akubra is out of the box. From what I've heard, Garrison's are on the softer side. It has taken some work to train the brim and really nail the bash. I don't want the sides ...

Clipper

Thanks to Clipper I am now convinced the ROLA Plane hat has to be Carbon grey. So by default a moonstone grey Federation has to be a KotCS Train hat. Outside of that the Federation is based off of the KotCS hat anyway so it seems only logical. Besides you can evolve your hat just by manhandling it ...

I have the exact same issue right now with my AB CS that I turned into a Raiders bash. It has required a wider center dent to get the sides to look straight. When I push out the bash you can really see the taper and the top of the crown almost goes into a point. I already am in the queue for John to...

Always prefer a video review to a written review. Thanks for that! The jacket fits you great. I now would now be very interested in ordering one, while before seeing this was a bit scared. Does the leather have any texture to it or is it pretty smooth? Congrats again! I look forward to see it broken...

This is why the LC jacket is a popular choice for Indy winter wear. You can layer it well, and comfortably. Exactly why it was a selling point for me too. California gets just cold enough here for a leather jacket and wool sweater in winter. I'm looking forward to seeing that combination. But right...

wow! looks great clipper. congrats! Can't beat S&J's. I've been in love with mine since i got it. Thank you! Yours looks very cool! Did you do a wash on it or has it just naturally taken on more wrinkles? Do you think yours is a slimmer fit than mine? Hard to tell. It looks a bit darker too. Di...

Y Thanks for the review It looks great on you! It took 6 months. We improved our LC patterns on this timeframe. I'm working to speed things up. Not easy. Friends, this level of accuracy, quality, attention to details, it takes money (a lot) or time. 95% choose time. For the best LC jacket replica, I...
