I got a Dorf...

Post by Indiana Greg »

OK, I didn't really expect the seller to accept my lowball offer of $25 for a hat she once had listed for $69... but she did, surprised me. It is new but obviously somewhat shopworn. Image

When it arrives I have an old #52 block in my size waiting for it & I will attempt to help out that poor brim & ribbon w/ a little steam. Oh, and take that stupid pin out & toss it.
Who knows, I may have snagged a good deal, maybe I can make something of it. Thoughts or suggestions? More appropriate fot an TOD treatment or ROTLA?

If you're gonna toss the pin, I'd take it. I have one that needs a pin.
Is that the fur one? I like those.

Let me know how the reblock goes because I've been wanting to get my DP reblocked and I was told it wasn't worth it unless I do it myself, but I don't have a block or flange.

I would suggest to you what I suggest to anyone trying to get a good Indy look out of a Dorfman: Don't attempt the Raiders bash. Go for the Temple of Doom look. The hat will handle that bash much better and you will be much happier with it.
