It's always good to see more Akubras, but especially yours, Shane. I'm glad you were able to get it back after all that hoopla you went through from San Fran. Yeah, my fed has had the crud worn out of it. :wink:

Yeah I was reaaaally glad to see it back again, even if it was a little more worn out and has been shaped a little funny since then. :lol: Your hat looks great though - I love the curly brim.

In Christ,
Shane

Agreed. The Fed has somehow gone all chronological with LC. :shock:
It started out looking very 'Venice pier' and now it's practically a dead-ringer for the 'Grail Temple' scene! Extraordinary! :D

I just recently bought this fed from Dr. Seuss for an amazingly low 35$. He'd reblocked it, so it came to me open crowned, and I actually figured I could throw a Raiders bash this time around. What do you think?

(And on my head. Sorry about how grainy it is.)

The demonic red eyes are an interesting touch in the second pic – Indy if he hadn’t woken up from the “Black Sleep of Kali?” Or is it “Indiana Sith?” :twisted: :wink:
Great hat regardless! :tup:

"Indiana Sith"! Now that would have been a great screen name.
