Magnoli HJ arrived!

The postman was at the door today with a sooner-than-expected package from Missouri!

I ordered my HJ from Magnoli Clothiers during the first week of January.

At the time I placed my order, I was not aware of Steve Delk's involvement.

Once I realized this non-advertised bonus feature I had to accept the possibility of not receiving my fedora anytime soon.

So it was a very nice surprise when it showed up in just over 2 months!

Here are some pics, including pics with my AB and my Federation.

That's a nice looking hat.. and nice Star Wars collection back there. I like the Magnoli logo on the sweatband, nice touch.

GREAT HAT! Magnoli always does a great job! I've been wanting to get my hands on a Magnoli for a while now. After seeing yours, I might do that sooner than later.

Actually, the hat came from Columbus, Mississippi!

Mighty fine looking lid you have there. How does the felt compare to your other hats? thickness wise that is. What are your other hats?

In this case... I can't take any credit. It's Steve's magic that makes these HJs into what they should be! I'm just the guy who refused to give up on the HJ name.

Kind regards,
Magnoli

That is one nice looking hat there Tron, I hope my Magnoli HJ looks just as good as that one. Mine should be coming here pretty soon, hopefully this week or next. Great looking hat, Steve did a great job on that hat.

What style did you get Tron, that a Raven bash?? Looks magnificent, your just making me eager to get my hat.

Put that hat on lets see how it looks on your noggin.

Ooops!

Mississippi.

And I wasted my time looking up the correct spelling of Missouri! Everyone knows how to spell Mississippi!

Sorry Steve!

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I will post some pics of it on my noggin when I get a chance.

I asked for an Idol grab bash if I recall correctly, but unfortunately It seemed to lose most of the bash in transit. It came out of the box almost open-crowned.

I did my best to follow what bash remained and used my AB as a reference. The felt is quite a bit "floppier" than my AB or even my Federation, but thats ok. From everything I've read about the HJ, that's the nature of the beast!

I'm very pleased with the hat and think that having a Magnoli HJ built by Steve is the closest you can get to an original Raiders hat.

I guess I know what to expect when I get it in the mail Tron, the Magnoli/AB/HJ is going to be my first hat so I don't think I am going to have a hat reference except the film if I have to rebash it. I guess those postal workers did not read the label saying Fragile, if it came almost open crowned. I guess the HJ can do that though due to its floppiness. Again Tron, just a great hat.
