I want YOU to choose my next fedora

Post by Bruce Wayne »

I recieved my Adventurebilt Raiders fedora in the mail yesterday & I am already thinking of getting my next fedora (I should probally get this disease looked at in the meantime.) I can't decide between a Last crusade or a young Indy fedora, so I am going to let you guys choose.

Thanx!!!

Hmmm... failed to vote for whatever reason, but I definately prefer the LC lid over the YIJC Fedora.

In most scenes I can recall, SPF looked like some 26 year old "kid" who found his momma's hat and tryed to restyle it to look like a Fedora with more or less success (long time since I saw any episodes though).

Regards,

Marc

Last Crusade in either Penman beaver or possibly the AB rabbit felt. Can't go wrong, either way. :tup:

A reblocked Henry with a lower crown will also get you there.

I am not 100% decieded yet but I will probally go with Adventurebilt again if for no other reason than I do not like to wait. I have nothing against Penman Hats, But I can't see myself being paintent enough to wait nearly half a year for a hat. I have the same issue most of my generation has, I want everything & I want it NOW! I have owned a penman in the past & While I loved to wear it, I had to sell it for some quick cash :cry:

Young Indy all the way. :tup:

I mean, there's only so many times you can see a LC or Cairo bash. I'd rather see a Great Young Indy any day since they're so far and few 'round these parts. Besides, I think it'd be a great hat to go fly fishing with ;) :TOH:

Also, I think I remember reading somewhere that Fedora was working on a Young Indy bash awhile ago.

Which ever one you pick,
Best of luck!!!

:TOH:

If you can pull off the Young Indy look then a YIJ fedora would be great.
I think a LC fedora works for a lot more occasions, but that´s just my taste. I still love my Young Indy fedora, but somehow I don´t wear it as much as I used to. To make it short the Young Indy gets my vote. :TOH:

Probably just me, but I loath the young Indy hat! It looks shockingly bad .... Horribly shapeless and it always looked too big on his head. Sorry, I'll calm down now.....

For the second hat go with a custom, than there will be a Bruce Wayne fedora out there.....
grey with a navy blue ribbon perhaps a yellow pinstripe in the bow.

i always thought the young indy fedora looked a bit crappy. don't shoot me for saying this but that's just my opinion. LC bash will always be one of my favourites and I'll probably buy a HJ from adVintage in the near future. Was thinking of an Adventurebilt Henry but the price at adVintage for a HJ is way too good to let it slip away.
Whatever you choose, wear it with pride and good health!

Ummm.... Never thought I'd see that statement. Doesn't AB have something like a 9 month wait at this point? :-k

I have been watching the young Indy series recently and I have been wondering why they took such a different approach to the fedora. I say to each their own but in this poll I am voting Last Crusade. Anybody got a vendor made Young Indy fedora to give us an idea of what one may look like? I don't think I have seen any of the great hatters here at COW make one. Whatever you choose be sure to post when you get it. :TOH:

Bruce, no more starch in the tights, ok? :D

The Henry cannot be underestimated and if it's in your size, it ships right away. Johnny ball-game stocks our beloved Henry. :TOH:

Steve can whoop that rabbit felt into shape (Raiders rabbit probably blocked on a CS block) and have it to you in 2 months or less, if you want a bunny on ur head?

Depends on what ur ol' batty heart desires.

Not for new orders. Steve still does those on his day off. I ordered my sahara hat in mid-June and had it mid-August. You have to pay for that kind of speed, but we know it's worth it.

Hit "submit" too quick. I like this idea! After all, to the rest of the world, a brown fedora is a brown fedora. But a custom designed BW hat would be truly unique.

I say go for a LC style and get a Henry... a very superior hat, not that away from the custom ones in terms of quality and construction and very durable...
