Indy Fedora in Reader's Digest...

Post by junior »

Go to page 139 in the Dec 2007 edition of Reader's Digest. You'll find a version of the fedora by Hartford York, who sells it for $65.

While this version doesn't even compare to some others out there like the lid made by Adventurebilt, 95% of the people out there, who if they saw this hat and told themselves "hey, that's an Indy hat", wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Guess that's why the fun is in the details, be it a fedora, jacket, shirt, etc.

They sell other brand hats, so my guess is that it's a Dorfman or something similar. They sell a "dressed up Indy" made from fur felt (probably rabbit) which visibly has the pin on the ribbon. Hartford York is just another seller of these hats we've seen elsewhere. But you can tell EVERYONE is jumping on the bandwagon hoping for a piece of the marketing pie. :wink:

I personally like the screen accurate wool felt and the bound edge myself... :wink:

Although a bound edge is not accurate on an Indiana Jones hat, from a purely aesthetic view, it would help to balance the hat out, in my honest opinion. Cheers
