Luisiana Jones goes Adventure Bilt! :)

Luisiana Jones · Post by **Luisiana Jones** » Wed May 11, 2005 3:03 pm

It just arrived today, it was waiting there for me in my room, I opened the box and I saw the best Indy hat I could have ever imagined, it was just amazing, I put it on and it fitted perfectly, I put Raiders on and I was wearing the exact same hat, I had never felt that with any other hat, nor mine or friends.

Thanks a lot Fedora for your patience with my bank probs! Great customer service you got

I know you all know that but I still want to say it one more time, I recommend every one of you that wants to get an Indy hat GO AB!

Ps. Pics will be posted throughout this week!

Congrats on the new lid, Luisiana!

I've been checking all the options out, and I'm cracking under the pressure! The general consensus seems to be that the AB is the only way to go! Gonna take me a minute to get the dough together, tho.

Looking forward to seeing some pics!

AB: The Only Way To Go!

Luisiana, Congratulations! I cannot wait to see pics! I never tire of looking at folks decked out in gear, especially Adventurebilts. So, what are the specifics: scene, felt, etc... Come one! You know the drill! And how dare you post this without a single photo!

Erri · Post by **Erri** » Wed May 11, 2005 3:52 pm

Can't wait for pics...

Is it a Pure Beaver or Rabbit? and what type is it? (raven bar, cairo etc..)

Congrats on your new hat, my friend. I know the feeling of getting an Adventurebilt for the first time, first putting it on and seeing yourself in it.

Wear it everywhere, bro. Can't wait to see pics.

Regards,

Luisiana, I'm glad you finally got everything worked out and got your AB! But wasn't it still worth the wait and hassle to finally have an AdventureBilt?

Enjoy the hat and wear it in good health!

What's different between "Idol grab" and "raven bar" ?

Would the difference be running from boulder and Hovitos vs. running from fire and nazi's?

The raven bar's front pinch is a litlte different the idol grab and Cairo hats. There is also a little more curl in the brim.

A pic is worth 1000 words.

The idol grab looks like it has a tighter pinch then the raven bar, doesn't it?

Yes it looks like that

Well, guys, i think i will buy a AB hat soon (as soon as possible), can you help me to choose one? I was thinking about the Raven Bar looking... can you give me some idea or suggestion?
Thanks to everybody

Indiana Wayne · Post by **Indiana Wayne** » Thu May 12, 2005 5:00 pm

If you like the raven bar bash, then go with the raven bar. I like the Cairo myself.

I like all of the hats in raiders!

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Thu May 12, 2005 6:26 pm

Congrates on the new lid my friend, wear it in good health, I Love my AB.
I had Fedora start out w/the scene when Indy was on the fendor of the truck but it didn't come the way I expected, oh well a little steam and all is well. When I have it reblocked, I'll have Fedora do the Idol grab scence as well as I've always loved that hat.

Oh yea I guess I should get on the train, Pics when you can my friend.

That was the Cairo hat in that scene.

IndyFlyer · Post by **IndyFlyer** » Thu May 12, 2005 9:32 pm

Excellent choice, AB's are indeed hats to be proud of owning and wearing. Can't wait to see your Cairo bash pics. I recently received a Raven Bar bash AB from Fedora and could not be happier (I'll have some pics up when I return from my current business travels at the end of the month). I am actually already planning my next AB....

zeus36 · Post by **zeus36** » Thu May 12, 2005 9:40 pm

The hat he has on while in front of the truck is the best. Tons of character !

Indiana Croft · Post by **Indiana Croft** » Thu May 12, 2005 10:01 pm

Yea it sure does have character, but it didn't look like that when it came to me, I don't fault Fedora one bit. He gave it a great shot but it just didn't make it.

I can think that mostly is about the use of light on the hat... try to take pics with light coming from different positions and you will see in pics "different" hats.

Richard~Buxton · Post by **Richard~Buxton** » Fri May 13, 2005 8:32 am

Well to me, the Idol grab bash is the best looking, you can see that in Weaver's second Idol grab pic. the Cairo bash is just to uneven for me.

What look is best for a suit? Idol grab, cairo or raven bar?

J_Weaver · Post by **J_Weaver** » Fri May 13, 2005 11:21 am

Really any of them I guess. Although personally I think that the LC hat is more of a dress hat. The Raiders hat always seemed like more of an adventure hat to me.

I agree with Weaver, though the Idol Grab is probably the most "dressy" of the Raiders hats.

Post by **Michaelson** » Fri May 13, 2005 11:42 am

GREAT look fedora! Oh, photographs add 10 pounds to your appearance (in my case, 20 or 30 pounds.

) High regards! Michaelson

Hemingway Jones · Post by **Hemingway Jones** » Fri May 13, 2005 11:43 am

Luisiana,
We really can't make out details in those pics, but the silhouette is awesome! Very straight-sided, with a great shape.

The hat looks great, Luisiana! Wear it in good health and take it on many adventures!

Don't listen to him guys. I wear shirts like that all the time.

P.S. That is a very cool avatar LJ!

Richard~Buxton · Post by **Richard~Buxton** » Fri May 13, 2005 2:56 pm

Those pics in the light are much better, great looking hat.

From the photo's it looks more like a cairo bash though, still
awesome looking lid.

VP · Post by VP » Fri May 13, 2005 2:59 pm

I think that the brim looks a bit flat.

Richard~Buxton · Post by **Richard~Buxton** » Fri May 13, 2005 3:11 pm

It does look a little flat, you can always bend it down though. you will get
more character the more you wear it though.

Luisiana Jones · Post by **Luisiana Jones** » Sat May 14, 2005 4:18 am
