Ordering from Adventurebilt Need Input

Post by garytelecastor »

Hi y'all.
Noobie here.
In 1981 I happened to have a night free and went
to the theater to kill some time. I saw a placard
about a movie called "Raiders....
I thought that it looked interesting and went in
to the theater. 10 minutes into the film I was hooked.
Saw it 25 times that summer. I thought the fedora
he wore was an amazing piece. I spent years
trying to find one, even calling the studios in
London. I finally came to the realization that I would
have to fore-go my search, until about 5 months ago.

I have been looking for a decent Raiders hat.
I have been doing my research and I would like to get
an adventurebilt. The one difficulty I am having is that
all of the posts I read on forums say that it may take
a really long time to get the hat. I read a post here that
some guys have been waiting 4 years.
I am just wondering if it is reasonable to order the hat or
let it slide for something else.
Need input.

If you order an Adventurebilt from Steve right now, you will get your hat in roughly 6 weeks. The orders that have been taking years to complete are due to the low prices they paid before the movie came out and Steve and Marc got slammed with orders. With Steve's new pricing, you are also paying for a quicker delivery.

That 6 week time frame is pretty accurate. I ordered an Adventurebilt about 1 1/2 years ago and got my hat right on time.
By the way, some of the best money I ever spent. :TOH:
Oh, also by the way...Welcome! :tup:
