I didn't say that. He could have got one of mine second hand and I wouldn't have known about it.
If the pics were better I could tell you but I wont mess it up for Holt.

good eye Indiana Kev.......you know your hats
that was the second hat i made and the only indy beaver that i made. it is very soft with a nice finish. i think it looks 10 times better on holt than it ever did on me.....plus he put his own personal tweaks in it and i must say that the man has got skills.
eric and i have been exchanging PM's forever discussing and collecting jacket specifications. i got to know the man and have found out that we both share the same twisted sense of humour he didn't have a hat and i had too many....and we both have the same head size. i gave him that hat as an early christmas present
as for the hat shop.......at this moment, it would be really expensive for a customer as they would have to but the hat, hat block, and hat flange if they wanted a hat from me . i don't have a couple of G's (no punn intended) to sink into the start-up costs like oak did. plus, i wouldn't go competing with oak as he'd blow me out of the water with his artistic creations.
there's a member out there that gave me 'the science of hatmaking' as a secret santa gift last year..........LOOK AT ALL THE TROUBLE YOU'VE CAUSED!!!! ;-) (thank you for that gift btw)

Not completely fair (we haven't seen G hats enough to spot them at once) but nice looking hat my friend and compliments on Indiana G.Indiana Holt wrote:its indeed G's hat.
Holt if they make another live-action film about Ken Shiro you should be casted too
Just kidding you on buddy... we all just envy your muscles. I don't even have time to go to the gym

Thanks G, for making it clear to me what my course of action MUST now be:
1. Keep voicing (well-deserved) compliments about your hats here in these forums, praising your skillz up one side of you and down the other until
2. Your HEAD - quite literally - begins to SWELL to the point where
3. Your HAT SIZE increases to match my own, forcing you to
4. Buy a NEW hat block and hat flange SIMPLY for the purpose of producing your OWN hats thereby allowing me to
5. Lay claim to your hand-me-downs (or even your "throw-aways")
Mwah-HA-Ha-ha-ha-hahahahahaha!
Seriously though... I can't feel TOO jealous... I'm actually HAPPY for Holt (you won me over when you mentioned how he didn't already HAVE a hat!) That's just WRONG! A man's GOTTA have a HAT, and for HOLT - of all people - to be going WITHOUT is just ALL kindsa' wrong!
So, JOB WELL DONE in correcting this matter, G.
And, as always, NICE fedora my friend.

I didn't expect anyone to know Ken Shiro LOL. What martial art have you been practicing? (can't be the Hokuto Shinken can it?)Indiana Holt wrote:Erri wrote:

I love kidding you on, I hope you don't mind Holty ;-)

Showing off hat and jacket in the same picture is just tasteless Holt, let me tell you.
well you never know, a few years of Aikido might come back useful in the end ...at least until I "miss" and one of those kicks actually reaches my faceIndiana Holt wrote:thanks.
