Re: About the Grey Clipper Fedora

There's something I've noticed when I've been analysing the grey hat from Raiders. The hat has an identical bash to the Hero Fedora, but he wears it unturned. In other words, the pinch does not sit above his nose. Is there a reason for that? Do you think it's a good look to try for future hats? I'm...

Re: About the Herbert Johnson Poet

Really? But it's got some odd features. Like the back is higher than the front, and the side dents go back really far, almost to the rear of the hat. Also the centre dent looks quite "round", in the sense that's it kind of flared out to the sides.

Re: About the Herbert Johnson Poet

Yeah, but the bash they put in it looks quite cool in the pictures. I'm just wondering how that bash looks in reality if I was to do it on my own hat.

No, I just did it from looking at photos of Indy's hat online.

Can you give me advice on how to make the side without the bow look a bit straighter like the other side?

Re: My DM Akubra Adventurer

Hi guys, sorry for not replying sooner, just been on holiday. So I've taken your advice and adjusted the bash a little bit, pushing back the side dents a good inch or so and moving the pinch closer to the ribbon. The problem I've having is that the left hand side (i.e. without the bow) still looks s...

I'm too scared to do that in case it messes the hat up.

My DM Akubra Adventurer

Hi guys, So I recently bought a DM Akubra Adventurer, just wondering what you think. I've put in the Raiders bash, including the turn, but the one thing I'm noticing is that my hat is much more "dome" shaped compared to the Indy's hat. Indy's hat seems to have much longer straight sides an...

Re: Indiana Jones Raiders of Lost Ark Brim

Can you tell me about this guy's hat?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLB4hBHLw64" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

His brim looks very much like the brim in Raiders. Is his hat also a Federation 4?

Also how do I tell if my head is more round, or oval shaped?

Re: Indiana Jones Raiders of Lost Ark Brim

Thanks for that. I've posted that question on a number of forums and that's the best answer I've had so far. So would you say that a hat that already has the dip in it, i.e. the Adventurer would recreate that look better, or one with a standard snap brim like the Federation 4 if I put the turn in it...

Indiana Jones Raiders of Lost Ark Brim

I'm looking to buy a hat that has a very similar brim style to the Raiders of the Lost Ark brim. In particular I want an Akubra hat because they are affordable and durable. I know people say that between the DM Adventurer and the Federation 4 the latter is the more accurate of the 2 as an Indy hat. ...
