oh that's a big 'ol Nay. The officially licensed hats are okay if you intend to only wear them once in a while, or if you aren't the least bit picky, but if you want a real Indiana Jones fedora you really should go to Akubra, Adventurebilt, Peters Brothers, Keppler, Optimo, Herbert Johnson, etc. :junior: -M

I'm not sure if Lee asks Beaver Brand for a special body, but I know it's a blend. But from the BBH website, they state that they don't use Beaver.

You know I got that from someone else not the man himself, so you could be right. I'll have to ask Lee and get back here with the answer from the horse's mouth...Marc wrote:Has Lee come up with a 50/50 blend? WOW! - I always thought they were somewhere between 5 and 15% beaver content. At least that's what I was told several years agoAnd don't forget Keppler. 50/50 blend
Anyway, thank you so much Mr. Lucas
Regards,
Marc

It looks like Ford may be wearing an official hat in this picture.
