The Clipper Fedora

Post by Hobbit Fedora »

A question about the Grey Clipper or Travel fedora...does it too have the Raiders turn or was it bashed straight on? Is there any other nuances to it’s shaping or is it reasonably identical to the Brown Hero fedora? Forgive me if this has been covered somewhere else, I haven’t been able to dig it up if it has.

Pretty sure it has no turn, I think there are less nuances to it because it was used less, so Harrison didn’t have as much time to add nuances to it.

No turn, just a straight on Raiders bash, pretty mush the same bash as the first scene of Raiders as far as I’m aware.

Best

Thanks guys! That was my assumption but i was hoping for a second opinion. Going to get an Akubra Fed IV deluxe in moonstone and thought it would be a good candidate for a Clipper fedora even if it is lighter in color than the film used one.

Well, I got my new Akubra Federation Deluxe in Moonstone. Originally the plan was to make it a Clipper fedora, as the topic suggests but I think I really like it in this Last Crusade style, feels more nonchalant.

Apparently the ribbon is wider?

I wonder where the write up in question went....
