I do! The last time I saw it, it was on Dr. Jone's head as he and Marion were leaving to get a drink. "You know -- a drink!" , Sorry, couldn't resist this one ! W>

Oh wow

It does help :) My next Fedora John I want blue on blue. I dont mean like BOOM Bam spirit blue hat, I am looking for a more midnight blue. Have you ever made a hat that color? o you have any felt that color? If so, what color Ribbon and bow do you recommend with it? Just my two cents, but If, and t...

So no one knows where the original one is?

IndyJames

IndyJames

IndyJames

How is your stuff different then steve's john? Like how is your stiching stronger then his?

IndyJames

You can never go wrong with one of John's hats.

R u sure you do not want Fords lord Clarence mcdonald hat?

Thats a link to the hat I am talking about

IndyJames

Who is SPF?

IndyJames

I am going to try and get this thread back on track if you dont mind. The stiching, how is it done, what is it made out of. Same with the bow thing and the ribbon that goes around the hat. How is it put on and such? What is the likelyness that the ribbon and or bow would eventually fall off and if i...

Vigorous, but respectful debate, whether in the form of friendly argument, or formal presentation, has been one of our greatest engines for the discovery of truth for thousands of years. As long as it doesn't devolve into personal attacks and name calling (which is why a select few around here have...

IndyJames

Oh ridge I know you would but I am in oregon.

I would totally give anything to meet the man for lunch

Or even a phone call. I did talk to sean connery on the phone once

IndyJames

I just don't understand why there is a problem with having options for my customers when it coms to the bow design? and all I said about the therm "flying V" is I don't like it, and I don't think its accurate. Whats the big deal? As for the "term" " Flying V" it may be...

IndyJames

I understand that debating can be a good thing. If its clean then thats ok with me, even in my own threads. I just noticed that it was getting a tab bit intense and I did not want to be the cause of any hard feelings. If you all say there are none then thats good :). No hard feelings here. Im just g...

IndyJames

Im really new to this place. Im new to a forum like this as this is the only forum I belong too. Please do not argue amungst yourselves about the term flying V or how its "supposed" to look or anything. I made this discussion to get some more insight for us newbies in this hat world. I mad...

IndyJames

-_- I did not bring up the V to start an argument. It was more for a newbie wanting to learn more. As for John's hats. I can say with 100% confidence that they are one of the best quality hats you can purchase. The other person who is on par with John is Steve Delk. The person I ordered my first Ind...

IndyJames

So in another thread I noticed that there was a different type of way to make the ribbon, something like a v or something? Anyone know how John and AB makes theirs? I can not seem to find it on their websites.

IndyJames

I wish george would come on here and tell us the oroginal grey clipper was in the archives or something. He should sell it to me

IndyJames

I am just curous. Does anyone know where the original is? Like one of the ones used in the movie lol.

IndyJames

Thanks Michaelson

i just cant wait

Im not sure what I am more excited for. My house to get its permits approved by our builder to finally start building, or my new hat LOL

IndyJames

I think the hat at disney was around $80 or so. I wore it in rain, snow, anything until if flew off my head over a cliff and into a lake. I can not wait to feel beaver felt. So does every hatter use the same quality of ribbon on their lids? I really am interested to know of the material of most ribb...

IndyJames

Wow I was not expecting that much info. I am very pleased with the responses. If you guys want to go into more detail I would be very curous to learn more. Now I have only had one indiana jones hat myself. I bought it at disneyland next to the indy ride. It was one of those official ones. I dont kno...

IndyJames

This just came to my mind. Thought I would make a discussion out of it. I know NOTHING about rabbit or beaver felt nor do I know how to get it OR if its even made out of rabbit or beaver, OR what is the best most durable felt on the planet (I think its made out of the animal and about 90% certian bu...

IndyJames

Has anyone received an AB recently?

IndyJames

Thank you for your replys. I understand now about the felt. I can not wait to feel it :). Just letting you all know, after 2 weeks of waiting for a reply I DID hear back from steve. Seeing how I placed an order already with someone else I told steve that and would order a hat in the future from him....

IndyJames

Well, to let you in on a little bit about me, perhaps you will understand her position lol. For the past 8 years my hobbys have grown, all of them being expencive. I collect weapons (My most recent purhase being an ar-15 and an aimpoint compm2 sight for it around the time the senate was going to try...

IndyJames

So I told my wife today that I wanted one of each of the indy hats

Her response

Said I am allowed one hat per yeah hahaha

IndyJames

We got my measurements down and they are being sent back today. Now all I need to do is wait. A long wait it will be indeed but.....It will be worth it. Mr.Penman has been great with awesome customer service!

IndyJames

After 2 days of reading I finally reached the end of this thread. I can not tell you all how beautiful each and every hat is. My favorite is the green fedora, cant remember the page. Hopefully in a few months I will be a proud owner of a penman at as well as my order was placed and payment went out ...

IndyJames

I am a newbie to the subject but what is reblocking? and why does it need to be done?

IndyJames

Well, I trust john and steve. If they say its beaver, then it is

IndyJames

:TOH: Whelp Penman hat is a go :). My order is placed and payment to be sent out tomorrow, thank you everyone. I hope to be posting pictures of it in three months. In the mean time I will be stalkng the forums to learn more as well as have fun discussing my facorite movies and hat :) Now, about them...

IndyJames

How does one know if their hat is beaver or rabbit ifit is not marked as such?

IndyJames

I am so confused

IndyJames

Ok what is penman goo?

IndyJames

Mr. Penman has been straight forward and to the point over the phone and e-mail. It has been a pleasure working with such a person. While I do not have a hat to attest to its quality (Yet), from the videos as well as the reviews here think its safe to assume it is top notch. Mr.Penman do you mark yo...

IndyJames

Well today the tape measure's arrived. THANK YOU PENMAN HATS!!!!! I sat down and did my measurments, submitted an order form, and now will wait. I can not tell you all how excited I am to be going through with this. As you all know my last hat flew off my head here in oregon and ever since then (2 y...

IndyJames

Understandable.

So which style is the most sought after? My father likes the raiders one, while as you all know I like the CS one the best. Im just curious as to which one is "The hat" most indy fans like.

IndyJames

I kinda figured. Was just wondering if it was noticable onscreen or not. 2/3 months is not a big issue with me. What is your most sought after hat? I hear the Hero Fedora (raiders) is the most popular. Is the felt you use kinda floppy like the raiders hat is? Or is it more in line with the hat I use...

IndyJames

Lol so steve has 3 things that can not be replicated. Its probably a secret but are they noticable or onscreen without telling us what they are? Not trying to pry just being curious. I imagine making hats has little trade secrets jut like chefs have when making foods. Anyway I am excited. Also how l...

IndyJames

If I may say so, you guys are awesome. I never knew that the hat I always loved was this famous and had a following that was so informative. Im waiting patiently for the tape measures and after a measurment is taken will more then likely be calling Penman and placing an order. I used to have one of ...

IndyJames

After looking at both websites, I know they are both excellent quality. I would go with beaver as that to me is the most durable. Does john use the same hatblock as steve used for the CS movie? Someone on here said he did and if thats the case then I do not see any difference between AB or Penhat. T...

IndyJames

Thank you so much Oak. I really appriciate it as well as your video saying how to do a proper measurment.

IndyJames

The issue with that Kwad is I do not even know my hat size. Penman said he would send me a tape measure so I could measure my head so at the moment I am just waiting on that. I cant go any further until that is finished. I'm just going to wait for now to hear from steve while I wait for the tape mea...

IndyJames

Well today is day 1 without hearing anything from steve after I left a message. I know he is going through financial trouble (That is what I read somewhere else so correct me if that is fixed or not). I am a person that does like to help someone in need, not saying penman does not need help. I don't...

IndyJames

I did call steve and left a message. Thanks for the info on that. Is there generally a long wait to hear back from him just curious as he must be terrible busy work on hats. Anyone have any experience on how long to wait before you can order?

IndyJames

Sorry about the late reply. I work two jobs so I try and get back to discussions as soon as I can. I like the looks of both hats and again would not mind waiting. I have yet to try to get into contact with steve from the phone that was provided. I e-mailed penman today and will probably call steve t...

IndyJames

I have been there. I kinda wanted to get ahold of the US AB guy. I have never made an out of US phone call and dont know how one would get a hat to me overseas.

IndyJames

The issue I am having is that adventurebuilt's phone is disconnected and to be quite honest, I have never made a call outside of the us so I dont know how. I would get an adventurebuilt if I could get a hold of the guy but I cant. Does anyone know how, besides e-mail, if I could get ahold of adventu...
