Hmmm. I think I need to specify all boxes are trampled on!!! I could not have done better with the crease job you put in. Great job!! It actually looks to have seen some action, while on your head. That hat should shed water like a duck's back too. Special stuff done to that hat.

On the UPS shipping, I have been asked by other customers from Canada to use it. It is so much faster(or so they tell me). It is the only time that I use UPS. USPS can take literally weeks to arrive. I have no clue as to why. Fedora

i got your pm mr. sable and replied to it. sorry can't make it tonite. if you find some artifacts there, slip em into your mk vii for me....i'm planning on opening up a nice museum.....in my basement!

thanks for the kind words steve. you have given me peace of mind now whenever the weather is miserable. i don't have to wear that plastic rain protector over the HJ anymore. no more worrying about ruining a hat in the rain...i felt like a walking condom before

HAHA. A walking condom. That's something you don't hear/read everyday.

Depends what kind of industry you work in.

I don't even hear that term in high school! Well, sometimes.

Anyone tell you you look like Colm Meany in that pic? Chief O'Brien in ST TNG?

Thats quite a compliment...thank you.

You are the first...

Oh wow, I was thinking the same thing about him looking like that Star Trek guy!

Hey ITG, have we ever seen any pics of your AB?

From the Finger Lakes summit. I'll see if I can round up a decent shot of it that shows off its exquisiteness best.

From a Halloween party the other night... first time I've put all my IndyGear together!



AB Beaver, Wested goat in dark brown, MBA shirt, pants, bag and strap, Todd's belt and holster, 10' David Morgan, and Indy Magnoli's Idol. Oh, and the Alden's are down there, holding it all together...

Sweet gear shot, LJ!! Everything's lookin' good!

Leatherneck Jones, fantastic looking gear!!!


Here's a crazy picture of me...






Yeah I know. Keep taking the medication, Canyon!

Looks good, Leatherneck!!!

Semper Fi

Thanks, lady and gents! Nice lid, Canyon.

im not sure that seeing all these cool ABs is doing anything for my sanity!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sam, yours is winging its way(the right color this time) as we speak. Now, if you decide to get another one, or a gray one, we need to do some horse trading. I love those Platypus brand wool boot socks you sent me a couple of years ago. I have bought several different brands of boot sock from ebay but none compare with what you sent me. That would be alot of socks to swap out, dollar value per dollar value, but I wouldn't have to buy any more until I check out. Fedora

Sam, I've 'known' you for many years now, and I'm very sorry to tell you that the arrival of your new AB will do NOTHING to help correct this particular problem. It will help curb the twitches, but it won't 'cure'.

HIGH regards, old friend.

Fedora....you never got back to me about the progress of my hat...if you are busy then i apologize for annoying you lol, i was just wondering if you got the reply to the PM u sent me asking for my name. Thanks!!

fedora..any chance of an updated list of the hat orders you have coming up?

Yeah, will I get mine in January or February? I'm on week 5.

I'm at week 18- hopefully I'll get it by Christmas, but chances look slim.

yeah i was told over a month ago that i would get it in 2 weeks

A list would be great, if just to get a ball park on the status.
Me I'm waiting on one of those last rabbits, mean while my AB beaver is keeping my head warm.
Croft.

i got teased tonight...i've been waiting for my AB beaver for a few weeks now and tonight while i was outside playing basketball a fed ex truck drives by my house real slow and stops....only to deliver a package to my neighbor!!!
we need an updated list haha

Just placed my order withSteve on Nov 21, so guess I shall have quite a wait.

Jeff

All good thing's come to those who wait.



CROFT

I could use a good thing right about now. And Lord knows, I've waited. (Almost 26 weeks) This is getting painful! I've had perfect weather to break in an AB with my Wested for weeks now, but the hat continues to be elusive. When I get it I probably won't be able to sleep until I've worn it someplace... and for fear that it's just a dream.
Chewie the Expectant

I ordered mine on Oct. 7 and i'm on week 9. I hope I get in Janurary.

Absolutely Fantastic! I am even MORE happy I ordered an AB now. I also have a JP in the works - Life is good!

A JP AND an AB in the works!?

Yep, life IS good at your house!!!

High regards! Michaelson

I got a Fed Delux first - I love it! Now I can afford to wait a bit for the next. When the JP arrives, I'll dare taking a bit off the brim of the Delux to tweak it a bit. The AB is going to be my dress/no weather hat (Even though I know it could stand it). It's the beaver felt too!

Here's the first picture of my AB and me
It's prebashed "Raven Bar Style" directly from Steve.
But I may give it sometime a more detailed rebash.
However it's a wonderful hat! Thank you Steve!

nice fit there orb! i like the brim work there. suits you quite nicely.

cheers

My new AB dlx - generic Raiders' bash without turn.







The hat is a true work of art, it is everything I expected from an AB dlx - and more!

I originally got the hat in october last year, but due to me taking my measurements wrong it was too big for me. Being the stand-up guy he is Marc offered to fix that - and now the hat fits just perfectly.

Marc delivered the hat to me personally, he had a business appointment not far from where I live - It was really nice to finally get to meet him after the many e-mails and phonecalls.
Having spended the evening talking Indy and hats, drinking coffee, cracking whips, etc. I can only say that my impression of Marc from the e-mails and phonecalls was not wrong - he truly is a nice guy. I had a great time - which I hope to repeat soon.

Thank you for a great evening Marc - and thank you for making my perfect Indy fedora.


Regards.

Jakob

that is amazing. it looks exactly like the waterfall hat. beautiful...absolutely beautiful.

Great looking hat JEEP !

SWEET looking lid, JEEP! I'm not surprised Marc is a stand up fella, he sure sounds like it from his posts on here.

Indiana G wrote:that is amazing. it looks exactly like the waterfall hat. beautiful...absolutely beautiful.

Thanks for the compliments people

Indiana G: which scene are you referring to?


/Jakob

i'm referring to the "man in the hat" scene where indy disposes of that cutthroat baranca (sp?) at the beginning of raiders. its a different hat than the rest of the movie (this hat is only prevalent outside of the chachapoyan temple). though, i believe it makes an appearance when indy is dragging himself up from the bottomless pit but then the rest of the movie is the good ol' hero hat with the asymmetrical wings. its my opinion that this hat was ruined while jumping in the river but was then given to the life magazine guy on the clipper to wear.....just conspiracy theories on my part though....i'm willing to argue my case from under the plymouth!

this is the hat:

ok....scratch the bottomless pit theory. i just looked at the screengrab and it looks like the same hat in the rest of the temple interior scenes....it just appears to be turned back to where the hat should sit (ie the pinch is favouring the right side of the head now)....

Why is that scruffy looking nerf herd... um.... archaeologist wearing my hat!!

Thanks Indiana G, you are indeed right; my hat looks wery much like the hat from that scene.


Regards.

Jakob

Great looking hat Jeep!! I especially like the pic with the profile.....Gorgeous!

now that's a supersmashboxofficesuperfantastic hat you got there JEEP. Marc sure knows what he's doing!:D
thumbs up!

Looking good Erri

Just a few outside shots of my new lid:










/Jakob

Awesome! Gotta get someone to nab a pic of ya from a short distance, so we can really get a good look at it.

Hey Jeep, I see I am not the only one who thinks a Fedora works great in combination with a shemagh.

Looking very good!
