Fedoraiders Streets of Cairo hat (I’m still alive)
Hello everyone,
It's been a long time since my last message but I’m still alive. It's been 10 years this year that I bought my first felt hat in a store in my area and and at this time I thought it was the right color for a Indiana Jones hat, (left picture) lol ! After this purchase, my passion was born for the Streets of Cairo hat and the right picture is my actual hat.
I put the hats beside me since several years but I decided to rework my old hats from my own collection. Several hats were badly stored in the box and these hats are just waiting to be reworked.
I have already sold the hats from my private collection but I'm not a hat vendor and I don’t take the order. Thanks for your comprehension.
The picture of the bottom was taken yesterday.
Thanks for looking!

Re: Fedoraiders Streets of Cairo hat (I’m still alive)
I guess the biggest question we have is, with all your gorgous fedoras you have proven you make and own in your possession, what the heck are you doing standing around wearing a ball cap in the photo above?

Is it a original shape of your federation? Because the crown have really good shape.
You make a good choice with Steele and Jones. I like the work of Diego.
Re: Fedoraiders Streets of Cairo hat (I’m still alive)

Re: Fedoraiders Streets of Cairo hat (I’m still alive)
Your hat look very good with a natural light.
The dust is a little bit too yellow but it's hard to find a good color.
Wearing it constantly, it's perfect to have a authentic look.
I am looking forward to seeing your Steel and Jones.

I don’t want to start a rumor or a polemic but maybe someday I will have something to propose to you and also to Thomas from Advintage.
I will continue to think about that.

It's practically all felt from Herbert Johnson. I love the Herbert Johnson felt but the new heavier felt that I used is a little bit too thick to give a Raiders shape pronounced as the fans likes.
For me the thickness is very important. I have a Herbert Johnson felt of 2009 and thickness is 2 millimeters and the new felt is 3 millimeters. It's hard to see the thickness of the hat in the movie but I would say more 2 millimeters.
If the felt of the hat in Raiders have really 2 millimeters, It's that the felt was a very good quality because after 2 months under the big sun of Tunisia, the felt has never shrunk. Also, I guess that Mr Swales was not to stretch the felt and this is a good thing.

Re: Fedoraiders Streets of Cairo hat (I’m still alive)
Fans of the Raiders hat, I would like to have your opinion. This is a new hat that I made with a rabbit felt that I bought in my country ( Montreal, Quebec, Canada). Now, I don't know the origin of the felt but I will look later. I think that the felt is too dark but I think it’s look good with a dust.
Let me know what do you think.
Thanks!
Jason

I have been using this as well for my handlebar moustache. I have tried 30 or so brands, and this is the one I keep coming back to. It is absolutely the best for my needs.
