Cool! Thank you for posting pics...now, the question still awaits harbor from the distant shores -- "Who" sold this, ie: catalog, stores, etc.? Just curious about this one :-k . Thanks. W> Not a clue. I missed the whole sales campaign when the movies originally came out. I never knew the ...

The sweatband is cloth.

Wait, I forgot, I have some.
Is 15 posts the limit?

OK, I'll take a few to put up.

Well, after starting this thread here is an update: I can say that I've picked up some of these hats. I have a wool version one each in the black, gray and brown colors. I have one fur felt version (brown). And one straw version. The straw amuses me because it has precisely nothing at all to do with...

Well, I just got what I assume is one of the fur felt versions. It is the full Stetson version, proper hat size tag (i.e. NOT small, large or medium) and in the original black and white Stetson hat box. I'll let you know what its like when it gets here.

Oh, I am not saying their prices are out of line. Not at all. I am just saying you won't be paying $25 for a hat!

Yes, they do fantastic work. But these are real fedoras/westerns, so they aren't cheap.

Dat be da one.

Well, I just got one of the straw ones. Only problem is it is missing the ribbon. I will have a hatter make me a new one for it. I know a hat maker in Tenn. who has one of those original straws in his shop, so he can make a ribbon just like the one I need. So, I have a gray and brown wool version an...

Thanks

They show up every so often on ebay, but it's been a while since I've seen one. They don't come out of collections very often as people recognize them as LFL licensed items under the Stetson name and equate them to the run of the mill offerings that Stetson cranked out by the millions after Temple ...

Some photos would be helpful. Of the logos, liner stampings and the like. I do have two of Stetson's wool versions, the one with the silverish disc label with the chest-up image of Indy with the machete over his shoulder. One is the gray version and the other is the dark brown one. For woolies they ...

Well, that is even cooler than I thought. I would never have thought they'd have had actual beaver ones!
Great to know. Now I need to be on the lookout for one of those!

Interesting info here. I remember reading that Lucas had offerings of the 'hat' for sale at theaters, but always assumed it to be the 'rabbit version.' Makes me wonder if 'those' hats would have held up better then the 'rabbits :-k ?' Thanks for the data :TOH: ! W> Knowing hats the way I do, I doub...

Hmmmm... As I remember all the Stetsons I saw at the time were pretty poor imitations..None had the correct bash and most (all?) were wool, not rabbit or beaver. I know that some of the Stetsons were fur felt. They had some straws, too if I remember right. I also know that Stetson had some cloth &q...

Folks, I am a collector of antique Stetsons and recently got interested in the models that Stetson sold during the Indy hey day of the 1980s. I would like to ask is there any place I can go to find out all the models that Stetson sold as an "official Indiana Jones" fedora? I am not talking...
