Well done, Indyfan. I like how the SOC's brim appears more like the brim of a fedora than a cowboy hat.

It’s the modern. He came out with the 36 literally the day I revived mine in the mail. I love it. The modern still has that screen accurate look

Advintage nails the SOC look. Love his fedoras and will only be buying from him now

The gear is probably really great looking, but the location is not doing you any favours, neither in context nor lighting - step outside and have someone take the pics and you'll look a whole lot more awesome!

Yea was going to do that but my family doesn’t take kindly to having this costume and I have some interesting neighbors who would start something seeing me take pics as they were out while I was doing this. I’ll try again and post better ones here

I tend to treat my gear as clothing I like to wear.

Fedora- almost always
Jacket- when needed
satchel- whenever we hit the parks
shirts- normal rotation

I save the whip, belt and holster for 'special' days ;)

You'll be surprised at how many compliments you get on your hat.

The more use and enjoyment you family sees you getting out of your gear the less of a hassle they may give you. You may even begin to
wear it naturally instead of feeling like its wearing you. Just an opinion, your mileage may vary.

I defiantly wear my fedoras a lot. I use my Steele and jones one when I go to Disneyland as I have passes. I don’t wear my beaver advintage one thag often though as I want to keep that one perfect as long as possible I even keep it in a glass case along with my whip.
