I wanted the bridge scene hat, and I got it. The box was destroyed upon arrival, but the hat was the perfect amount of new with the slightly rough look. They were in constant contact with me and stayed on top of things. Really great job!

Great pics and great, hats too. I like that bridge scene TOD...and that Cairo Hat is getting dirtier and dirtier...which adds much character to the hat and the user...

Not the greatest pic, but here is my HJ replica. I absolutely love the way this hat looks. So much so, I can't help a second glance in any reflective surface.

WOW.....you guys looks great..everytime I think i see someone with the greatest looking Raiders hat, someone else pops up...these hats really do take on plenty of charactor after real world abuse. Here is my HJ Replica Steeets of Cairo. And let me tell you, I really do not care for this hat....on purpose mind you. I don`t purposely trash it but what I mean is that I just wear it and go...theres no worry about the weather, what I`ll be doing or where I`ll be going....it really becomes a part of you at that point but you just have to get past the feeling of having to baby the darn thing.

I don't understand why it takes you 90 days to deliver a hat if they are factory made.

They aren't factory made....

Re: The EXPLORADOR fedora - photo gallery

Hi, Alex. Thanks for asking. Our delivery time is that for two reasons.

First is that our hats are not factory made. We make every single hat upon request, considering the proportions of the customer so we can make the hat like an Indy hat should, and not just like any hat, or even those disproportioned hats that look that you have a bottle cap over a big guy, or a saucepan over a skinny one.
So we don't have hats in stock, delivered when sold, but we make them after we agree some dimensions and details with customers.

Then, we are not professional haters (and don't claim to be), but we are just Indy fans, with other jobs (Travel Agent and Architect) doing this in our free time, cause we like it, and cause we started making this for us and our friends, and then we were asked for many people that couldn't afford a more expensive hat, or people who alreay had one, but in a shelf, and didn't want to wear them on their trips or vacations cause wouldn't want them to get lost, or damaged or even getting dirt, so they needed a cheaper trusty hat for real use.

In our regular hats we have the sweatband machine sewn, but we also place them hand sewn in our most expensive hats, that we usually don't advertise here, as there are so many good haters doing that in another range of prices, and we are usually conctacted by people who wants the best for the buck, not people who wants the best at any price.

We only have one waiting list, as we work on any order as we recive it, so those totally handsewn somtimes takes longer, and that makes every hat take some extra time, so we usually told our customers that our current waiting time is 60-90 days, depending on those hats we have on the list.

I hope this all helps to make it clear. Thanks again for asking.

(This is one of our handsewn. Please note that colours of felt and ribbon are distorted by camera's flash so close)

My ToD bridge scene while out on a hike. My wife has had many many brain surgeries and it was her first time back out on a trail. We didn't go far, but I was proud of her for trying. She doesn't walk well. I lost about 30 pounds as well, if not more since this picture was taken. The picture below is just for comparison, but it has my Fed IV in it. My son and I went fishing tonight, and I threw it on.

Here is a recent pic of the Bridge scene fedora in a group shot with myself, and a group of friends that went white water rafting about a month ago now.

Teneas, first great hat! Secondly, your wife is a tough cookie for hitting the trails after all that. Great!


Indiego, I've been rewatching Boardwalk Empire on HBO Go and that black fedora you posted.....it is calling my name. AWESOME!

Teneas, I made a mistake above. I talked about "customers", and, though we are only some dozens in this Forum, those people we met as clients, end as friends, even as family. Your story really touched me, and I hope some day I'll meet you, as I've done with many customers/friends in many countries. And your wife is a tough woman -kind of Marion-, as an Indy's woman needs to be. Congrats!

Just talking about the hat, it really looks great on you as it wouldn't in any other guy, like it was made for you. That's a perfect example of what I was talking about.

By the way, these are some example of Indy meetings we make with our customers/friends...I guess they show the spirit of what we do, that definitely not only hat making... we've met some people in North Carolina and L.A. too, but I don't find pics right now...but maybe some day we'll meet you, too..

I think Roberto explained very well.
I'll add: jacket making also consumes a lot of time.

Teneas, thanks for your input. Congrats to your wife for her recovery and courage.

Thanks chris! Looking foward to make you a hat!

The hat is replica, but the mask is the actual prop! It has an interesting story beside being in Indy IV, it's and 40's era tiki mask, 70 years old. I acquired it in 2008, while the film was still on the cinemas...it went mistakenly from L.A. to Argelia before I could get it...I guess nobody would be interested in making a replica of this prop, but the real thing is quite cool...

I think you guys are great. Indy isn't just some guy in a movie for most of us I would think, it's much more than that. I have always been adventurous in nature, and for years have put that off to live an ordinary life so to speak. My wife's condition has showed me the courage that people can have. She has always been my adventuring buddy, and hopefully will forever be that. It's much harder, and slower these days, but she is doing things that she never would of done before the illness got ahold of her.

I plan to wear my ToD in Sep or October when we head out onto a river in South Carolina. The Edisto river looks really cool. She will be in a canoe while we go down a 24 mile stretch of the river, and stay in treehouses they have about midway down. She would of never done that before she got sick. Perhaps she needs an adventuring hat too!

Would love to meet up with any of you guys if given the chance. I don't have the money to travel the world at all, so I stick to the Southeastern USA where I live.

Thanks for the hat guys, and I can't wait to get the ToD jacket that Diego and myself have been discussing!!

My "35" bridge scene on the trail today. We got my wife up to some waterfalls in the area, and were scouting out new campsites as well. The forest is calling again!

Also featured:

WPG shirt. *yes it's to big for me in my opinion. Like to wear them untucked a lot, and I can't with this one. Medium as I weigh 165 pounds, but am thick in the shoulders*
Make it Jones bag strap. *distressed temple of course*
Bag is from Todd's I think, but is not a reproduction one.
