Congratulations Marc and Steve. You did a great job!
Having now seen Indy 4 three times, I must say that the AB's looked mangificent!
Those hats really took a beating in Indy's latest screen adventure and it was such a thrill to look at the hat in the movie and think to myself "I know the guys who made those!"
You guys rock!!!

I have to agree Canyon. The hats looked great. And to sit in the theater and know some of the history when no one around had a clue.Canyon wrote:Having now seen Indy 4 three times, I must say that the AB's looked mangificent!

I've never gone to see a movie and had that feeling. especially a Indy movie.

The hat in the opening scene was definately my favorite, next to the gray train hat. You guys awed me. Great work guys. Here's to your continued success!

i remember being at the midnight show and when we first see his fedora I looked down at mine and thought to myself,"Same guy who made my fedora made Indy's." Great job gentlemen, the fact you supplied the fedoras for the film is a true testament to your attention to detail and quality of work. Cant wait to buy another one of your fine feds.
Best Regards,
Joe

I said the same thing to myself! Great minds think alike ...Indiana Williams wrote:I remember being at the midnight show and when we first see his fedora I looked down at mine and thought to myself,"Same guy who made my fedora made Indy's."
Steve and Mark, what can I add other than congratulations on this achievement!
You must both be riding high on the excitment of all of this, and its well earned. Your hats were at least to me, such a fun part of watching the new film. And knowing that one of you made my hat and also Indiana's, created a small but very real connection between me and my hero. Thank you both so much for that.

It's not like I even have another hat that can hold me over. And even then, I'll still probably get an HJ before I'm able to get an AB (which is of course fine, I mean, it's still an HJ). I still resolve to at least get an HJ before the year is up. And hey, it will still be, like, one-third AB anyway (if I'm going for a Magnoli). But still, an AB... totally different creature right there...Johnny Fedora wrote:Man, thats no lie! You and me both.myamoebafriend wrote:I long for an AB so bad...

Hah ok, when I say "if", of course I mean "definitely". Ok, so where exactly does Magnoli play into it exactly. Does he just buy the stock hats and send them to Steve to revamp and block them, or does he send them to Steve to just block them. Or am I totally wrong? I mean, there could be a big possibility that I am.

Nope, no stock hats. Not even close. The hat raw bodies and all the parts are sent to Fedora and he builds the hats from scratch using his blocks and know-how. Oh, and he provides his own vintage HJ ribbon for the hats. Soooo...its really the best Herbert Johnson fedora sence Deborah Nadoolman sat on that first hat back in '80!

Agreed on the 50's touch.Harrison_Davies wrote:Indeed what a hat..I actually liked the 50's straight front pinch.
I think it says 50's. A nice touch.
I cringed at the sight of the fedora on the ground bashed around at the beginning. Honestly I was thinking of the time it took to make it to be trashed around.
Such a great hat.

I think they used a DP for that scene, so the "official" Indy fedora could make it into the film. I thought I saw the Indiana Jones pin.theinterchange wrote:I cringed at the sight of the fedora on the ground bashed around at the beginning.

I'm with you, Canyon. I spent most of the first time I watched the movie awed by the fact that the very same hat in the movie was being worn on my head. I bought 4 from Steve from the exact felt run as what was used in the movie, and it gave me more than a thrill to know that I had the same hat as good old Harry.
