I was also tryin' to get there before bink. He would just walk up and think...umm, I can't get to his wallet with him like this. Then bink would say, "well, erri. You won't be needin' this AB Deluxe anymore, see 'ya!"

Man, Erri, I'm starting to think there are no bad areas over there! It's like an eternal vacation! The gear looks good and you can really see how rich the color on that fedora is in these pics!
I wish there are no bad areas... I just take pictures in the right places people you can have a sample of colour-filters so beloved by Spielberg BUT maybe you should try to wear them a bit lower(or maybe looser), because in those pics it looks like you'd wear them around the bellybutton!
I can personally recall when (I was but a small boy), men wore trousers higher. Call me off fashioned, but I still like that look, although nowadays it looks out of place. But heck, so do fedoras!!! For some reason, the mental image of Indy wearing them with the straddle down to the knees, with his boxers showing makes me want to puke, and in a projectile fashion. (I know this is not what you meant by the too high remark, but I am trying to be funny here) And of course, Indy could have never outrun the Hovitos if he were a young man being chased today. Those drooping trousers become shackles. I was therefore quite gratified when our local schools considered(tongue in cheek only, I assume) to require the sagging pants guys to be required to wear large suspenders if they insisted on wearing the shackle britches to school. They would have gone from completely cool to completely Urckle-esque. (may have misspelled this characters name) Fedora

thanks Strider, I hope you will receive your new AB soon You're right men really wore there pants higher, BUT they were cut different(which means higher), too! And I like THAT look. I sometimes wonder how the Indy would look with suspenders or maybe a waistcoat for colder days.Fedora wrote:BUT maybe you should try to wear them a bit lower(or maybe looser), because in those pics it looks like you'd wear them around the bellybutton!
But guys, any real Indy from that era would have worn his pants higher up than is currently in vogue. Look at pics from that era.I can personally recall when (I was but a small boy), men wore trousers higher. Call me off fashioned, but I still like that look, although nowadays it looks out of place.

Firstly, let me congratulate you on a beautiful looking lid.
Thanks for the compliments I believe Harrison Ford would look good also in a Goofy costumeThe real Henry wrote: You're right men really wore there pants higher, BUT they were cut different(which means higher), too!

Compliments to Marc for getting a better side profile.
which by chance looks so similar to the marks made for the cairo scene by sitting on the hat!
I'd say this confirms that Steve and Marc did have the correct block shape of late; the only thing missing was the long oval head in a regular oval hat. I think this is the last major key element to getting the Raiders look we've wanted all along...it gives the hat reverse taper in back and when seen from the front, the deep center crease is possible, and the accentuation of the brim swoop all happen more naturally.Marc wrote: Ok Gents, this is a reg. oval hat on a long oval noggin' with a deeeep crease in the back.

I have a long oval noggin' myself and extra had a long oval block made in my size, but you can be sure, that I'll make a reg. oval for myself next time!!!
Exactly! That all the secret around the Raiders hat is about! That's something belonging to a sticky topic my friend!Antone wrote:
Proper block shape + turn + long oval head in reg. oval hat = Perfect Raiders Hat!

It looks better with every new pic!
I must do an epidemiologic inspection in the box where the hat was stored
