ordering Magnoli HJ should I get the turn?

Post by LANDINGPARTY »

Ok so I am going to get a Magnoli HJ with the Idol grab bash and I am back and forth on getting it with the turn. How true is the turn idea and what do you guys think? thanks

The Idol Grab bash comes with the turn, so if you ask for that bash, you will get the turn along with it automatically.

As near as we can tell (thanks 3 thoubucks and Steve) the Raiders Fedora was in key sequences and I quote..."The front pinch in the Raiders crown was installed about 2/3 of a inch OFF CENTER. Therefore, the hat was worn "turned" about 2/3 inch OFF CENTER.
Thus, every element of the hat is asymmetrical, and, the hat is actively coping with distortion, giving it a certain lively tension." To sum up, it's this turn that gives the Raiders Fedora the distinctive brim warp and thus adds to the look so many of us look for in the Raiders hat. For more info on this check out...www.raidershat.com. Reverse engineering at its' finest.

The idol grab bash is turned. Also, Steve knows the hats that were turned in the film and which weren't, so if a style of hat you want was turned, that's what you'll get unless you specify something else.

I think the hat was turned in all the Raiders scenes, but I could very well be wrong. Though, looking at the opening scene at Kipu Falls, the brim doesn't appear very distorted at all.
