I have both. More often than not the ones made for me as long oval feel and fit better. Makes me love the hat all the more. Round heads are weird by the way lol

So did anyone ever order one from HNC-Hatworks?? I've been so tempted but wanted another opinion. I currently own: 5 Advintage, 3 Penmans, 2 Garrisons, and 4 FED IV. I have the itch again and that price is to nice just to ignore. https://www.hnc-hatworks.com/en-us/collections/fedoras They've been o...

I forgot to mention I own a HJ as well. Love it.

I actually finally ordered a "Penman". Have a TON of Indy hats and wanted a Penman since I first saw that style on his website. Beautiful hat

teneas

I placed an order with John in May of last year. At the time he said he was down to a 5 month wait list as most aren't buying "luxury" items due to the state of the world. October rolled around and he hit me up in November said that things were delayed. About a week or so ago he sent an em...

I sure hope they come back better than mine. At first I was in awe, then both of my heels can easily be pulled apart from the uppers. I just wear them regardless though

teneas

I ordered a ToD on Dec 21. Finally received an email from them 4 weeks after I sent one to them. They said they would ship in about two weeks, yet it's been 4 weeks since and no word. I'd say safe bets are 6 months turn around or so but we'll see

Not a grail jacket but I've got a fortune and glory coming soon...I think lol

I own 3 Advintage hats, and every single one of them comes to me larger than my head. Not significantly so however, and I just put some cork in them, and in time they shrink due to oils, sweat, etc on the headband. My Penman hat is the one that has shrank the least and honestly still is a bit large ...

Really??

teneas

Pretty common on both of mine to but they do shrink in time

teneas

They look great on you! What's to big?

Advintage, and every other hat I own always gets a bit more snug as they are worn, as you sweat, etc. It will fit in time unless it's grossly to large.

Advintage is my favorite among all the makers, and I own one of each for the most part.

Great choice!

teneas

I'll say this about the weather....I wear mine no matter what the weather. Hence the salt sweat stains on my Penman beaver. If I was going to be outside all day in the Florida heat, where I live, perhaps I'd reconsider however. Dang state is HOT

teneas

LOL obviously we all have different preferences. So, I would change my answer to: Whatever it is you like and want.

teneas

Medium is the way I go with them. I own one of their hats, a ToD model, and have just placed an order for another one. Medium is floppy enough that it's not like a rock, and soft won't hold it's shape well from what he told me.

teneas

Looking good man. Money will no longer exist in your bank account

Sorry brother, my S&J Temple is a 38 at best, and I shrank it further when I showered it. I wear a 40 normally, but I wanted one that had the tightness of the village scene at the end.

teneas

My second Indy jacket was a ToD from S&J. Still my favorite by far. At this point I only own one from Wested, and S&J. Can't beat it in my opinion, at least when it comes to ToD. I can't speak for the other makers.

teneas

I did indeed order one. It arrived a couple of days after Christmas and I'm delighted with it. When placing the order with Wested I did inquire as to whether it was possible to have the screen-accurate vents but, sadly, they told me it wasn't something they could offer. Pretty much what I expected,...

teneas

I prefer Wested trousers. They are affordable, and don't seem to have the issues that they used to with the sizing.

teneas

Regardless on the color, I'm glad I got black liner. LOL.

My jacket was made about 1.5 yeats ago I believe. Holt and I had a lot of discussion on the vent and Wested still didn't do it. They did offer to redo the jacket with correct vent but I never sent it back.

teneas

I'll post pictures of the vent and black lining when I get around my computer. And I'm there now. First off, black liner: https://i.imgur.com/uKPwLm6.jpg https://i.imgur.com/1uTjYS5.jpg Secondly, the vent: How it should look: https://i.imgur.com/WdGOQ1D.jpg How they do it: https://i.imgur.com/KFEsdQ...

teneas

The side vents are not done screen accurately. Send them pictures of what you would like them to be if you want them screen accurate!! They didn't do mine as I asked but by the time I let them know, and they responded, I had already given it a shower. They will use the black cotton liner as it was i...

Interesting Phenomena! Perhaps someone has some insight: When it comes to the Temple hat on Indy - in the movie TOD, the hat has some points of critique. BUT!!!!! - Every time I see a Temple hat (such as this gorgeous one worn by Teneas) the Temple hats always look amazing on real people. Any thoug...

We've talked in the past about a ToD whip, and I still want one, but have no money for such currently. Nice looking whips man, and keep it going!

I live in Apollo Beach, so pretty dang close by. How does one get in touch, etc?

Here are some of the shots. These aren't the professional ones yet though. Oh! One thing you can't see are my Staff of Ra Headpiece Cuff-links from Magnoli that I wore as well! Had the hat made, and the cuff-links ordered just for the marriage. This hat is by far my favorite. It's soft, just the rig...

While I haven't taken the time to take pictures yet, a few weeks ago I received a beaver felt, handmade Advintage Temple Fedora in light sable. I will be posting pictures in a week or so, as I am getting married this coming Monday, and intend to wear the hat. It's honestly my favorite hat out of all...

Just ordered a medium and thought about getting the soft from Advantage. Anyone tell me how floppy the medium is?

It's been years, but I'm finally going to "retire" my AB Henry. The crown has tapered over the years and wear is starting to show at the pinch. I have a hand made Beaver from Northwest Hats that I keep as a dress hat and won't distress it for gearing up, but also because the crown height ...

So we ordered my girlfriend a Cairo from David. He said it was the first Cairo ever ordered by a female. She makes this hat look good, and it's a good looking hat anyway! I intend to get better pictures soon, but these are the ones she sent me while I was at work, and the first day she wore it. http...

Times have sure changed in this hobby. I remember when folks used to scream bloody murder and send jackets like this back with mis-matched grains, REGARDLESS of maker. :-k Now they're praised. :lol: I ALWAYS thought they looked GREAT! :M: :tup: VERY nice example! Enjoy it! Regards! Michaelson I am ...

Bad lighting, but a good read on the grain.

My S&J 35 hat is my adventure hat. Camping, rain, hiking, etc. great hat. Nothing is better than my Penman however. Both good hats

Make sure they do the vent right!!!!! They screwed mine up, and it's not SA at all, but I still love the jacket.

Actually was wearing my S&J 35 when I was out fishing a few months back. Walked over 2 miles in the pouring rain. I did forget to pop the bash out, but it dried just fine.

I want to buy a pair of Indy-like boots but, not ready for Alden yet. There are two pairs of boots I'm considering they are, (1) Frye Walter Lace-Up and (2) JCrew Kenton Pacer. Unfortunately, I can't see them because they are not sold in my local stores so, I have to order on-line. Can anyone comme...

I own one just like that. Gave it to my son..hoping..beyond all hope, that he would treasure it. He trashed it..trashed it..in no time flat. I was sad. Cool hat to own, and I used to wear it camping. I had to reshape it obviously, but still love that hat.

I recently purchased a carbon gray fed 4. I can say without a doubt that all my custom hats have spoiled me. Fed 4 = good hat, custom = pure bliss.
