My New Adventurebilt Has Arrived (With Pictures)

West Virginia Jones · Post by **West Virginia Jones** » Sun Sep 25, 2005 1:59 am

Yes, it is here. My Adventurebilt arrived today. I would have posted about it sooner, but I wanted to get the pictures up first. Steve, I can't praise you enough for this fine hat. You, my friend, are an artist of the highest caliber. Every wonderful thing that has been written about these hats is true. My hat both looks & feels amazing, & it fits like a glove. I wore it all day. Heck, I might even wear it to bed (that is if I go to bed. It is 2 in the morning.

) I have nothing but praise for Steve & his Adventurebilt hats. Thank you & Goodnight.

Awesome lookin' fedora! Did you go rabbitt or beaver? Either one is an exceptionally well-made hat by Steve...You have chosen wisely my friend!

Kind Regards,
Captain D

Fantastic looking hat, West Virginia.
Is that "Idol Grab" scene bash?
Did you have Steve bash it for you? (or did you do it yourself?)
[You probably posted which in an earlier post ...]

Congratulations!

Glad you guys like the pics.

Did you go rabbitt or beaver?

I went with Beaver. My thinking is if you're gonna go, go all out.

Is that "Idol Grab" scene bash?

It's actually "Raven Bar" & I did have Steve bash it for me. I figured he's bashed alot more hats than I have & he knows what he's doing. He did a fine job. He's made the best hat I've ever owned. I would recommend anyone wanting a quality Indy fedora (or any fedora for that matter) to go ahead & take the plunge. Steve & Adventurebilt is the way to go.

Good stuff. Now all you need to do is throw some dirt on it and sit on it.

(I broke down and got my Akruba all dirtyfied yesterday.)
Nice fitting jacket by the way.

What part of West Virginia are you from, J_Weaver? It's always good to hear from a fellow mountaineer (Even better if they're a Thundering Herd fan!

). Thanks for the compliment on the hat.

I've bashed my own hat several times, and I've got the process down...and I still asked Steve to bash the hat I've ordered, because he doesn't just do it right, he does it PERFECTLY. I've never seen anyone just match a scene like that...it's kind of eerie.

(Steve - CAN'T WAIT.

I'm from Williamson, on the souther border. About an hour and a half from Huntington. But I'm in school at WVU, so I'm living in Morgantown.

Oh, don't worry, I just as big of Thundering Herd fan as i am a Mountaineer fan.

next time I'm in Huntington I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for an AB!

nice hat, I think I seen it someplace else.

I know Williamson pretty well. I've been there a time or two with WSAZ. What are you studying in Morgantown? My wife has family there, so I'm there quite a bit myself, so I'll have to keep a look out for an AB when I'm there.

Oh, don't worry, I just as big of Thundering Herd fan as i am a Mountaineer fan.

I hear you. I also am a big fan of both teams, though I think we're in the minority there. However, when WVU & MU play, you know I'm going with the Herd 100%. Good luck at WVU.

Great hat WVJ. It looks great. Great pictures. You wear it well.

Thanks, Hemingway.

nice hat, I think I seen it someplace else.

You must be talking about my jpenman tribute picture. I did get that idea from you. I hope you don't mind. You do have one of the cooler avatars around.
