Different style
I know this is not specific to an Indy forum, but where could one find a large type hat such as the Allan Quartermain style as in King Solomons Mines, or that as worn by Sean Connerly in The League of Extraordinary gentlemen?
go to www.fedoralounge.com and ask for Art Fawcett. He has been working on the Allan Quartermain hat for some time in much the same way as Fedora has been working on the Raiders hat.
I also love the various Quatermain hats.
Art's custom hats are great, and he's making one for me right now. But being pure beaver felt, they do cost more than an off-the-rack rabbit or hare felt hat. Akubra also makes a couple styles that would fit the bill for less investment. I have the Colly which is great, but the vent eyelets probably make it a 20th century hat rather than a 19th century Quatermain hat.
