Thrift store find
Found this hat at my local thrift store.
The color seems good, the band is the wrong size,
the crown is 5 1/2 inches tall and the brim is 2 1/4 inches all the way around.
I think with some reshaping and maybe trying to stretch out the brim a bit, I could turn this into a halfway decent indy hat.

Also, if anyone knows how I can decrease the size of those pictures, I'm sure everyone would be grateful.

Fixed them for you.CalMusquez wrote:Also, if anyone knows how I can decrease the size of those pictures, I'm sure everyone would be grateful.
When using imgur to host images, simply add the letter "l" (that's a lower-case L, by the way) to the image name (before the ".jpg") and it'll display the images at a reasonable size.

Thanks indymagnoli
Re: Thrift store find
Can you post a picture of the inside of the hat please?
Liner, sweatband, tags, etc...

Re: Thrift store find
Unfortunately there's nothing to show. There is no liner (I'm planning to add one after reshaping it), the sweatband is just your standard synthetic one (planning to replace it with leather), and whatever tags may have been on it must have been cut out.

Re: Thrift store find
Is the bow on the wrong side(wrong for Indy anyway) or has the picture been flipped? Great find btw!

Re: Thrift store find
It is on the wrong side. I plan to replace the ribbon to remedy this.

Nice find! That's how I try to find most of my costume gear.

Re: Thrift store find
Thought I'd share what it's looking like after I've worked on it some. There's still things I want to tweak/fix but it's been fun playing around with it to see what I can get out of it.

Re: Thrift store find
It's on its way. Keep tweaking you'll get there eventually
