Hi lads, has anyone here seen a HJ Poet with a Old Burlington St address with no liner and the label directly on the felt? I thought all HJ Poets had a liner of some description? Were all HJs from this era made with rabbit or did they have a beaver option too? Thanks Pete Sent from my iPad using Tap...

Thanks for the info mate, much appreciated.
Get well soon Jack.
Prayers sent.

That's a nice touch by US Wings. Should be a popular choice.

That is a sweet looking fedora .

John has just about nailed it.

I feel for the guys who purchased these in good faith.
The colour is not even in the same ballpark as the Raiders boots.

Very disappointing and I hope they do the right thing by their customers.

Darn nice boots but 550 euros?
Ouch!

Thanks mate.
I'll give the lining free approach a go first...

There are quite a few Akubra models with the holes but they have a metal eyelet to keep the hole trim and tidy.

Thanks guys.

I'll remove the lining but won't punch any holes.

Hi lads, I have a superb Akubra Deluxe Fed and I'm thinking of removing the silk/satin lining. Any temp over 30c and it gets awfully hot and sweaty. Anyone else tried this? Did you notice any difference? I love the quality feel and look of the lining but the high temps here in Oz make it a tad uncom...

Great thread and I love the link with the blu-ray stills.

Thanks for sharing lads

Thanks for the informative thread everyone.

I bought a G&B Expedition in goatskin awhile back and wear it everywhere. Awesome jacket.
Very comfortable, accurate enough for me and will last for many years.
I only had funds for one Indy jacket and highly recommend the Expedition model.

That takes guts my friend, especially on an expensive example like that.
Looks nicely aged now.

I think I'll let mine age naturally though.

Congrats! Looks great and horsehide is perfect for hard wearing jackets.
Have you ever tried a goatskin model? They hold up pretty well too.

Enjoy the jacket!

Good choice. A great quality hat at a fair price.

I wear my daily and love it.

Looking forward to the pics..

Yes they'll ship to Oz. I have a couple of small tubs in clear and brown. IIRC you can also find them on eBay now too.

That is one gorgeous hat.
Congrats and wear the heck out of it.

I have a Fed Deluxe and love it . A superb product and made by a company who really know how to make a quality long lasting hat. A fair price too considering what some are charging for a "Raiders" hat.

I'm always cleaning my hat, especially after wearing it on hot sunny days. The sweat stains soon become pronounced after a little exercise /activity.
Wear the hat...hard. It'll soon have the look you're after.

Here you go Michael :TOH: I have had a few horsehide A2 jackets over the years and after a lot of research I pulled the trigger on this G&B Expedition goatskin jacket a couple of weeks ago. Couldn't be happier with it. Soft as butter, not too heavy and tough as nails. Darn comfy too.( I love the...

Hi Michael, I checked a LOT of info here before pulling the trigger on this one.
Your posts were very helpful.

I'll have to get the camera out and take a few snaps....

LOL thanks mate.

It's a great forum you have here.

Hi all, I just picked up a darn nice G&B Expedition in Goatskin. Beautifully made and great quality. Very faithfull to the raiders jacket too IMHO.
The goatskin is more practical for me and makes for a very long and hard wearing jacket.

Take care
Pete
