Re: Hatter in Houston, TX

I've been to Miller and was not impressed. Nice customer service but lacking in personal detail. The Hat Store is the next stop but I thought I'd see if anyone here knew of a good person to see. I plan on sending the "Bending Oakster" all of my info for a Raiders hat soon, we've exchanged ...

Hatter in Houston, TX

Does anyone know of a quality hatter in Houston, TX that takes good measurements both for circumference and head shape, long oval, etc? There has to be a good one here somewhere in Texas.

Re: Looking for advice on indy shirt

Decided to order a medium WGP shirt especially seeing the photos from the new comparison thread. Magnoli's looks good but WPG is cheaper and it still a good shirt. My only hope is that the medium fits me well enough so that I don't have to send it back for a different size. I ordered my WPG shirt l...

Re: New review of the Improved WPG Indy Shirt (w/pics!)

Thanks Tundraider!
Received mine today fits better tan I expected. Just took it out of the cold wash cycle and gave it a partial dry cycle. Didn't feel much difference. Very pleased with the quality of the shirt. I was shocked at the weight when I pulled it from the bag :shock:

Re: Want to dye my Alden's

Thank you Michaelson. I did a search last night and it didn't pop what I was looking for. I should have kept at it and asked better questions.

Thanks

Want to dye my Alden's

Originally posted in the general gear section. Fits this section better. I have had the Indy boot from Alden for nearly 10 years. They are the lighter brown almost pumpkin color. I want to dye them to more closely match the boots from the films. Any thoughts on dye color? Has anyone done this with s...

Re: Adventurebilt Raiders block rabbit vs beaver

I agree with the general consensus that between the two, beaver-felt is sturdier and more durable. But I would add that a rabbit-felt Adventurebilt fedora isn't going to turn into a cone-shaped hat at the first sign of rain or wear and tear, either. I have a 5-year-old Crystal Skull beaver-felt AB ...

...on February 24, 2010, Steve Delk said on this topic: So the old timers felt that if you were in a desert, you better have a hat! And he was talking about felt hats.

Re: New review of the Improved WPG Indy Shirt (w/pics!)

Great photos. I just order the WPG shirt and reproduction bag and strap. Can't wait for them to arrive, although I am a little concerned about the sizing of the shirt. Did your WPG shirt shrink when washed? I ordered the large based on some other threads that indicated that the shirt will shrink con...

Re: Adventurebilt Raiders block rabbit vs beaver

Thank you all for the insight. I have been leaning toward the beaver felt from the beginning but knowing that the original Raiders hat was rabbit gave me pause. I am going to go with my gut and your recommendations and order the beaver felt version. Thanks again!

Adventurebilt Raiders block rabbit vs beaver

Looking for some insight from the forum.
I've decided on the Raiders block by AB, however I am still unsure about which felt to go with. Not to open too much of a can of worms... :o what are the pros/cons of the felts?
