I just got my felt scrap from Steve in the mail today and I couldn't be more excited! I know it seems silly, but to me, this is a piece of history (and it's as close to owning an AB as I'll ever come ). It came with a signed AB logo which I had sent to him, and an authenticity message:
"This is a piece of felt from a hat I made for Harrison Ford in Kingdom of the Crysta Skull"
Steve, thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to do this. I know myself and everyone else who gets one of these will be very happy. You are a true class act sir.
That is awsome, in the truest sence of the word. I asked Steven to semy sample with my hat, so I should be recieving it sometime around Halloween. I can't wait.
After recieving this scrap, I had a funny thought: wouldn't it be sweet if this scrap was a magic wand that I could touch on my DP and turn it into an AB? Ahh, pipe dreams...
He was supposed to send me a scrap/sample in his pecan color to see if that was what I wanted for another hat. That was in Jan when i received my brown AB but I have not seen it yed.
Thanks for the felt scrap, Steve! Got a message from my friend saying he'd received it (on my behalf - as I had NO idea how to apply US postage to an envelope being sent from the UK!). I told him to safeguard it for me until I return/visit. Figure I should mount it beneath a quality photo of Ford in Indy 4. Who knows?! =)
Steve started a thread a while back telling everyone that he had extra movie scraps and to send him a stamped envelope in the mail if we wanted one. If you want, just send a self addressed/stamped envelope to him to the mailing address on his website. Or just call him I guess. I hear he's super nice to talk to!
I only found that thread a few weeks ago and IMMEDIATELY sent in an envelope. I am SOOOOO excited about the chance at getting one. I HOPE I wasn;t too late!
Believe or not, when I recieved mine my wife had opened the envelope before I got home, she actually said it was pretty cool, which is in complete contrast with everyother remark she makes about my recent fedora habits/hobby... , I did not get as creative about the certificate of auth., but Steve did write out a little note and signed it, I guess I will get a nice little frame to stick it in with the note...
