AB in South America
Just got these pics in from South America. I made two hats for this trip. They are doing some sort of documentary. Needless to say, these hats have been through some rough stuff. Just look at how distressed they are, and I just made them last month!! http://public.fotki.com/Fedora/hats/ab_ ... rica5.html

Yep, I agree Marc. I just love seeing our hats in the open air, especially when you are on an adventure!! These folks here told me that the hats would get really beat up, and it sure looks like it. The wide ribboned one was the YIJ fedora, but hard to tell now except for the ribbon. The hat the lady is wearing was a full fledged Raiders version, but it looks like she personalized it. They are going to send me a copy of the documentary film they are making, with Adventurebilt listed in the credits. Guess, that will be a keeper!! Thanks!! FedoraThats what those hats are made for.

That guy is definitely a gearhead. He mentions in the journals that he got some whip cracking in, that is almost certainly a MKVII he's got, he's replaced the bag strap with a screen accurate one (buckle looks good too) and he might be wearing a screen accurate shirt, it defnitely has the pleats on the pockets.

My guess is he's one of the many lurkers who gleans what he can from the awesome resource that is COW... he ordered 2 ABs didn't he?
I envy those two to an almost unhealthy extent... they're living my dream.

Well, Steve's site also comes up on internet search engines, and usually in the first few hits. So the fellow could have just searched out Indiana Jones Fedora on Google or some such, and been linked to Steve. However, it's a nicer thought to think that they're lurkers here, and got their info from us.
I have sold more Abs to lurkers than members!! And I have made quite a few for us. Somtimes I try to entice them to join, just to receive the discount. Some say that they do, but I never follow up on it. I trust them.it's a nicer thought to think that they're lurkers here, and got their info from us.
Yes, and mine as well. Boy, what I would not give to be that age again!! Don't waste it guys and gals. You only live once, and ain't nobody gonna live forever. Cram in as much as you can!! Getting old ain't all its cracked up to be! Fedoraenvy those two to an almost unhealthy extent... they're living my dream

He's wearing a Magnoli Clothiers shirt! And... he's recording his adventures in a Magnoli diary. It looks like Fedora and I will be appearing in the credits together.IndianaGuybrush wrote:...and he might be wearing a screen accurate shirt, it defnitely has the pleats on the pockets.
Kind regards,

Hi gang!
Thanks for all of your comments about our website. We're having a blast! You can also check out a video I cut together a few days ago of our horse ride through Cordillera Negra near Huaraz, Peru.
The photos are all taken by Jana and she thanks all of you for your kind words. She's a natural. And, believe me, she makes everything her own! That hat has been shoved into every bag and tiny space imagineable and it looks great! Mine is indeed a Young Indy model and I love it. I love the old world feel that the wider band gives it. It has a bit of a "floppier" look, too. I'll be ordering a Raiders model when I get back. Best hat I've ever owned, hands down!
The bag is indeed an MKVII and the shirt, as Mr. Magnoli pointed out, is one of his fine creations. Easily one of my favorite shirts and it fits beautifully. I can't recommend Steve and Indy's items enough. They are the best! And, yes, Indy, you'll definitely get a mention in the credits.
We are shooting a lot of video to piece together into what we can only describe as an improvisational documentary. We didn't come here with an angle in mind, but rather hoping it will present itself to us. It's risky and, admittedly, I'm not sure what we've got at this point.
What I do know, however, is that I'm having a #### of an adventure here and there are more to come!
We're in Bolivia now (near where Butch & Sundance bit the dust) with about 2 weeks to go. I hate to see it end.
Turkey and India will be next, with Africa to follow, I think.
Thanks again, guys!

I couldn't agree more.
I am very lucky to be doing this and I hope the luck continues.
Take Steve's advice and do these things while you can! South America's a great place to start as it's quite cheap here.
You could stay in a hotel for a month in Bolivia for about $50-$60 and travel all over the place!
When we arrived at the border of Bolivia from Peru, immigration was closed, so we just crossed anyway. Good times!
We returned in the morning to get our Passports stamped and ended up having to bribe the officers as they figured out we had snuck in the night before.
And I snuck over the border in my AB!
