Well here it is after my first attempt at the TOD look. Please post recommendations and comments and I will try and fix it. I have tried to attach pictures at key angles.
The bows on Akubras are very tight. They all come that way. It is an easy fix if you were ever motivated. I never fixed mine. I kind of like it.
It is a very nice looking hat. I would like to see you wearing it. That is the best way to tell what a hat looks like. Still, it definitely looks like a bridge-scene Indy fedora.
I do like the pinch... very ToD. Can we get some side shots of Harrison's fed in ToD? I think that it might be better to make the back lower, like make the dent in the back lower, but I don't know if that's only in Raiders that it's deeper like that... perhaps in ToD the back is just like you've got it, but I'm not sure. I haven't looked into Temple of Doom very deeply at all... I just know that I have to rip off a sleeve on my Cabela's to get the shirt right.
Nice hat and a good hat. I am still fond of my Akubras. Remember, the best rabbit fur still comes from Australia!! Nothing better in a rabbit hat, than to use wild rabbit and hare. And this comes from a guy who sells rabbit hats too. regards, Fedora
The main reason I went with a TOD style on this one is because I have already decided to buy a Raiders style from you sometime in the near future. Thanks too for the nice comments. They mean allot coming from "The Man"!
Thanks for the encouragement and the pictures. They are great! I have really enjoyed these last 3 weeks and getting into this hobby. Everyone here has been extremely helpful.
Great job!! Now I really can't wait for mine to get here. Ther is a ribbon tutorial. Go to the main Indygear.com page. Under STAFF, go to dalexs. There is a link in his bio.
I like the way you've done the pinch. Relaxed, very ToD-ish. We'd like to see some pics of the lid on your head, though, because that is the great equalizer. The hat always looks better on you than it does on a table. Perhaps emulate a Temple pose? That helps. It looks rather "bridge scene" if you ask me.
