Thought I'd restart this thread on GP
Here are some photos of my Adventurebilt that were taken at work on my break with a co-worker's picture phone, so I'm sorry for the quality.

Yeah, for awhile I was trying to see how I'd look with long hair, but it didn't really work out, so I got it cut. I'm glad it turned out good Thank you.Indiana Texas-girl wrote:Hey you look different from other photos you've posted. Did you cut your hair? Whatever it is, it looks good. Nice brim swoop there too.

Nice AB and Wested Strider!
Ok, here are my lates and greatest AB pics. By the way, my AB is pure rabbit. I orderd it open crown and bashed it myself.

Note, my shirt in these pics really isn't as bright blue as it looks.

Weaver, great pics. The hat looks superb.
And don't worry about the blue shirt. Remember. Indy once wore a blue shirt....

No, it's a Filson. I've had the same bag for a couple of years. They're really sturdy pieces of gear. Mine still looks almost new, and Weaver's had his for a lot longer. I've been able to cram enough stuff into it that it was almost too heavy to carry on one shoulder comfortably.Hemingway Jones wrote:Is that bag a Barbour? It looks like one, but the hat is blocking where the label should be. It looks quite a bit like the bag that Michael Palin carried in his BBC and PBs series "Michael Palin's Hemingway Adventure."
Cheers!

Ah, Filson: equally hardy and of equal high quality as Barbour. You have chosen wisely.Baggers wrote:No, it's a Filson. I've had the same bag for a couple of years.

Thanks for the nice comments guys and Canyon! I wasn't really in Indy gear that day. I guess you could call it "Weaver Gear!"
Baggers, you beat me too it! Yup Hemingway, its a Filson. I recieved it as a gift about 8 years ago. Like Baggers said the bags are nearly bomb proof and will definitely carry more than your shoulder can. Its not screen accurate, but I have no intentions of replacing it with a MKVII.
IndyJens, you can get then from David Morgan or directly from Filson. They're expensive, but worth every cent. They are really a once in a lifetime purchase.

Filson
Filson has their own web site at http://www.filson.com
But David Morgan carries most of the Filson luggage range and their prices are always a few bucks less than Filson itself. Their shipping is also very reasonable if you're in the U.S. http://www.davidmorgan.com/proddetail.h ... quence=432

Thank you Strider, i will work on it a lot more in these days.Strider wrote:So, that's the rabbit version, eh? How does the felt feel to the touch? Responsive? I like the turn you've got going on there, and how you've brought the apex of the pinch down far enough to achieve the camel humps in the front. Good show.
Regards,
ABout the feeling ... dont know i have no other meters of comparison but i can say it's nice to touch

MJ,
I remember that first picture of your Adventurebilt from way back when. It was one of the shots that made me want an Adventurebilt of my own. That hat looks flat out amazing. The crown so immaculate, perfect high pinch and camel humps on the top, and the brim is so cairo it's not even funny. WOW. That's all I have to say.

Thanks Strider. Fedora (Steve) styled that and shipped it to me as is. He did an amazing job. And that block is darn near perfect!Strider wrote:MJ,

Strider yours looks awesome too. It's nice to see them on their owners noggin. When they are on a table they never quite look the same (As Michaelson once pointed out. "The proverbial table shots")
Mine looks completely different on a table or the living room TV. (It's a 38" tube hat rack)
I am always so happy to see more and more AB hats. I have been away from the site for a while.
Hey all, keep those pics coming!
MJ

IndianaFist is MIA. Sadly. I'm sure he'll catch up with me as soon as he can.Modern Jones wrote:Ahhhhhh Venice! The good old days!
HemJ, we need another get together. I have to see your AB and the rest of the guys. Well Dalexs, he's another story!
RK, IndianaFist, and Webley are quite the scoundrels too!

P.S I'll be in Waltham next week!
If you're in Waltham, you should stop by my office. Try to make it around lunch, if you can.

First Fedora
Just received my Beaver Fedora from AB.
It is a magnificent hat; I had some initial concerns regarding the length of the crown.
It was also a little tight, however, on "Fedora's" expert advice and instructions, I have been carefully stretching the headband.
NOTE: :!: I did not know it came with a gold outline graphic of the Staff of Ra Headpiece inside the crown .
That is a real touch of class, "Fedora" !
Here are some pics (sorry about the quality - first time I've used my digital camera self-timer ... in fact, I'm half-blind right now from getting flashed over & over ... and over.

the pic is nice, but you need to start breaking it in a bit.
