Hello All

Ok I have a question I have a Camptown 1957 Legend on the way to me some time.

I'm looking at either a AB or AB deluxe next. I would like some input to decide should I go with the same colour again eg the normal indy fedora or a Sea Plane Gray.

Either way the hat will still be a AB right.

If you had the choice which way would you go a normal indy or sea plane gray and why.

thanks

richard

mandatory brown

....as i don't wear many blue suits...er...any suits these days. too bad for my wife as i met her during my james bond phase.......she thought i was a pretty sharp dresser....but now she's stuck with me in these "dirty, dusty clothes"

but when in doubt......why not buy both AB's?

Those are some expensive pearls of wisdom there, Indiana G... but pearls of wisdom nonetheless...
(And given that your suggestion is ultimately MY plan, as well... I can hardly argue with ya...)

So start saving those pennies TODAY ulldarborealis!
Believe me when I say: I have NO doubt that one day (admittedly one day way waaay WAAAAAY down the road) you'll send Indy G a "thank you" post for the great suggestion.
All the Best,
Mitch

I have both and love them both. Grey is great for blue and black dress.

I have 2 brown AB's ( Raiders) and a sea plane grey AB. I have a ABD CS brown. I love them all. Anyway you go will be very pleased. Both gents make simple the best lids on the market.

Well I have 3 more sales that will be finished with in the month which would put me over the $900 mark in paypal.

Some of that was going to be funny money for the QM in Nov, but it could go towards new Fedora's right.

I would go with the brown 1st then in the future a gray...

I second that sentiment, gabrielle.

And Good Luck with your sales, ulldarborealis!

Let us know once you place your order... you know how we like to keep track of stuff like that... nosey (um, I mean CONCERNED) bunch that we are...

All the Best, friend.

Yeah, I'd go for brown first. Gray is nice, but brown is so...Indy... :junior: -M

You can never have enough brown Indy hats...Then you can get the grey...
(At this moment I'm replacing the linner and bow of my brown hat, so I'm wearing my grey -and I must admit, now I'm using it, I'm apprecianting it much more than before- but I can't wait to have my brown hat back...)

Either way you go you wont go wrong. I would get your day to day Indy lid from Marc and your dress one from Steve.

I'd do the same than Oak...

The reason I went this way is because both will stand up better to any hat out there in all kinds of weather but the edge would go to Marc's felt.

Both make the best hats on the market in my book.
