Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

I just passed the 5 month mark on the wait list, hopefully I’ll be soon! Although I am thinking I might ask if they could treat the felt like they would a Raiders, meaning less stiff. I like my hats soft and smooth. Think they would do that for a DoD? I finally got my Dod in and I'll get some pictu...

Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

They must be on a roll, I just got notified I'll be recieving mine by the end of the week! \:D/ For what it's worth, I ordered mine at the very beginning of July, so that might hopefully give folks a very rough idea of where they're at with their orders.

Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

I wonder if Harrison’s injury caused a significant enough delay that the hats had to change? That's the supposition. Recovery time/loss of weight changing head/hat size a bit. Still makes you wonder why he needed the smaller hat since his head stretched it enough that the brim became wonky due to b...

Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

Re: Herbert Johnson DoD

Check out this video by Michelle showcasing the different Indy hats. It's lighter than I had first thought it looked in some of the pics, I'll be interested to see how it looks compared to my AB raiders in beaver :TOH: .
