Hey, Rabbit, just to be on the safe side, read the notice:
viewtopic.php?t=22110

You may want to edit your post accordingly in case.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:52 pm

Ok Bink, I just did. Thanks. I just thought everyone knew

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:53 pm

You did?

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:54 pm

They pretty much do at this point, but as described in the link above, it's probably best to err on the safe side since certain things are more sensitive than we first thought. Thanks, SA.

Perhaps I need to stay away from this site to keep my mind preoccupied

Then again, it's sort of like a support group. Perhaps there should be an AB support group thread on here

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 10:57 pm

I went ahead and edited mine aswell.

Hahahaha. Good one.

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:02 pm

Oh, you guys can talk about the AB itself all you want, just so long as it's not "related" to anything.

Thanks for understanding, guys. Every AB I've ever ordered I've ordered and "forgotten" about. It does no good to go insane thinking about it (I know this three times over!

). But when your hat arrives, you'll know it's been worth the wait when you see the craftmanship first hand.

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:05 pm

Ah, you put great visions in my head, Bink.
Knowing that I'll love and appreciate the skill and
craftmansip that's put into my own fedora.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:05 pm

Your probably right Bink. If you have had to wait for 3 of them, you know from personal experience. BTW, the german dude's hat in my profile pic is nice. Anyone know what kind it was? Maybe the wait for that one would be shorter

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:06 pm

What German dude?
Oh, Toht.
My bad.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:07 pm

My profile pic, the one where my face is melting off. The dude that burnt his hand on the head piece in Raiders.

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:08 pm

Toht.

indy89, glad I could put good images in someone's head for a change. Waitaminute, I must be slipping.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:13 pm

Thanks Bink. I wonder if I could have an AB made like Toht's fedora. All I'd need then is a black suit, already have a party pin and glasses, and an SS trench coat. Oh, and I suppose I'd need the cool chain hanger he had

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:16 pm

All good things must come to an end.
The visions are gone.
Now here's a good thought. Natalie Portman wearing
short UPS shorts while delivering the hat to me
at my house.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:17 pm

OH YEAH!!!!! $\:D/$

Like that one?

SA, ABs are only available in brown and grey/gray/grae/etc., so the short answer to that is "no."

The Akubra comes in black, though, so that may be a good choice.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:20 pm

Ok.

Hey, I wonder if I had my grandma loan me 100 bucks, I could bribe Steve to put me higher on the list

HAHA!!!!

binkmeisterRick · Post by **binkmeisterRick** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:22 pm

Sure, but he works from the bottom of the list on up.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:22 pm

D'OH!!!

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:22 pm

I was thinking about doing that same thing, bribing Steve,
but nah. I would hate to get my hat before the other
folks that ordered theres before me.

Be honest. You'd hate to be drawn and quartered when everyone found out!

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:25 pm

I guess so.
Yeah.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:25 pm

Yeah......

Yes IndyMcFly. THX!!

Ripper · Post by **Ripper** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:40 pm

ABs are only available in brown and grey/gray/grae/etc

I inquired about a black Indy hat. I am fairly certain Steve told me he could do any color , he just had to order the hat body for it. It was sometime ago though.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:42 pm

I'll wait till I get my regular AB, then if it's nice (which I'm sure I'll be tickled to death at how nice it'll be), and I can pull some extra change out of my couch cushions, then I'll ask him.

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:44 pm

You have $450 in your couch cushions?

Ripper · Post by **Ripper** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:44 pm

I would, I'm sure he can do it. I wanted a deepest darkest black he could get and he told me it wouldnt be a problem.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:46 pm

Thanks Rip, I'll keep that in mind. No, I probably don't have $450 in change in my cushions..........maybe $449 or so............

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:47 pm

Steve sure is a man of many posibilities.

I'm sure all of you check ebay for indygear everday like I do......

, right? Ahhhh, allas! ....."sigh".....

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:57 pm

Of course. I even looked for an AB on there.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:58 pm

For the 20th time for me.......

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Mon Jun 11, 2007 11:59 pm

Give up. Nobody's gonna sell there AB after a long
@$$ wait.

Ripper · Post by **Ripper** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:01 am

There are other hatters out there, Akubra, Camptown hats, some others. AB would have to be the top choice ! If you cant wait you might consider other options......

Nope. I waited to long to give up on my AB.

Sitting Rabbit · Post by **Sitting Rabbit** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:05 am

I'm sure Christmas and my birthday will fly by unitl I get mine.

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:08 am

I'm waitin' on my third one. The trick is to just forget about it, and then when it shows up, it's a surprise. I guess it's easy to figure out why I would order another one.

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:09 am

That's kinda hard. Don't you think, Buff?

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:10 am

Not for me. I have senior moments all the time.

indy89 · Post by **indy89** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 12:11 am

Hahahaha. Nevermind then. Sorry.

Bufflehead Jones · Post by **Bufflehead Jones** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 1:26 am

I'm sorry. What were we talking about?

Castor Dioscuri · Post by **Castor Dioscuri** » Tue Jun 12, 2007 1:30 am

Out of curiousity, is the COW member discount for ABs still going on? And would I fit that criteria?
