I just got my wool felt replica in the post from Londons Movie shop and it's not bad at all. It has the same spec as the raiders hat too.


Colour: Light Sable Brown
Material: 100% Wool Felt
Ribbon: 1.5 inches - Dark Brown Petersham
Crown: 5.5 Inches (Open, Untapered)
Front/Rear Brim: 2.75 Inches
Side Brim: 2.625 Inches
Interior: White Satin Lining/Brown Leather Sweatband

What do you guys think?

They are pretty nice lids and good lookin for wool felt. Haven't heard how they hold up to wear and tear so you have to let us know how it gets on in the field :D

Post pics if/when you can, I'd like to know how resistant it is to taper once you start to work it. Did it come stiff, like it was pre-formed instead of bashed?

This is a really nice hat for the price! What is their fur felt Adventurer hat made of? Rabbit or beaver?

Considering the price, it's most likely rabbit; Christy's, perhaps?

I believe both the wool and fur felt versions sold by The Movie Shop are Christys. At least, they were before the liner logos were blocked out of the photos. Also, if you do a search for "Christys" on the site, these are the 2 hats that turn up. The Movie Shop is charging $174.14 for the fur felt version. You can get it here for less than $100.00:

I don't see the wool felt version on this site, though.
