Club Obi Wan

I am the guy that built Fedora's site and I am currently making a testimonial and photos section for the site and wanted to collect testimonials and photos for it. If anyone would like to add their photos and/or testimonials to the site please email them to me.

What I require is:
Name
Address (this is just to give people an idea of where in the world the hats are, I plan to display City, State/Prov, and country, but if you are uncomfortable with displaying that much info, State/Prov and Country would be good too)
Testimonial
Up to 2 photos (if you have a personal photo album of your Adventurebilt hat I can also include a link to it)

You can post just photos, or just a testimonial, or both.

Email them to john @ name-brand.net (remove the spaces).

Once I get a few I will make the section live so everyone can see and add the testimonials as they come.

Come on guys. I would love to have your pic up. I have seen some really good ones. I think that I have permisson to use Hemingway's and The Binkmeister's. If you two do not have them, I saved em' and will email them to Namebrand. He is a great guy to do this. I appreciate you feller!! Fedora

Yep, Fedora, you have permission to use the pics I sent you. (Does this give me a discount on my next AdventureBilt? ) I'll work on a testimonial soon.

I'll pose one for you once the weather warms up, Steve. Though, man, you can't beat Bink's pix, really.

Thanks guys. They don't have to be from exotic locales. I will be happy with pics of you sitting around a picnic table, sipping a brew, or iced tea. On the testamonials, I really don't care one way of the other. Just pics will suffice. I don't want it to be a selling tool, just a place to show everyone you and your AB. Axthe testamonial if you wish. I would rather have just the pics. Plus, I can only make a limited number of hats. A testamonial might push me over the edge of keeping up. I am serious. I am afraid, I am not set up to do any volume And, I do not want to be. This is a passion and hobby of mine, nothing more. regards, Fedora

best hobbyist ever!

Fedora is right, if I didn't make it clear in my first post you don't HAVE to have a testimonial, you can just submit a couple photos if you want.

Thanks for the kind words Fedora, I am glad to help you out.

Edit: Typo

I'm off to a wildlife reserve on the weekend, I'll try and get some photos with some more Kangaroos!

I'm going to LA tomorrow and torn as whether to bring my Adventurebilt or not. I don't want it wrecked or stolen. ...but it might make for good photos. *angst!*

Fedora and namebrand,
You absolutely have my permission to post my pictures. I am proud to have them posted up there. If you need me to send some more or anything else, I would be more than happy.
Thanks and all the best,
HJ

namebrand,
I sent you an email. If you do not receive it, please let me know.
Best,
HJ

As soon as I get some better pics of me in my Adventurebilt, you can bet that I will send them off to you for use on your site asap!

Oh and Snakewhip, no one will steal your hat in LA if you keep it on your head. A lot of the stories about LA are greatly exaggerated, unless you're in the ghetto. However, I doubt you're going to go to the ghetto. Just keep your eyes open and your wits about you, and your hat will be fine. Keep it on your head, or your lap if you're out eating someplace.

Regards,
Strider

Can use anything I have posted here for your site Fedora...I'll get to work on my testimonial! Brett

Just as soon as I can get some photos of my hat, I'd be honored to have you use them.

Fedora, did you get the pictures that Art Fawcett took of mine at his shop? You have permission to use those and I would love to see how they came out.

Steve, go ahead and forward those pics onto Namebrand. If you need me to resend them, I can do that. If I write a testimonial, it'd be short and sweet. Promise!

bink

I got yours sent Bink, but lost the ones Hemingway sent me when my pc crashed. Do you still have yours to send Hemingway? Fedora

Absolutely,
I sent links to name-brand yesterday to my Fotki site. I told him he could just take them from there: http://public.fotki.com/HemingwayJones/ ... _shot.html -Anything he wanted. If he has a problem downloading them, or something, please let me know and I will send them to him as jpegs or whatever format he needs.
I also wrote a nice pithy testimonial extolling the virtures of the Adventurebilt! He should be all set. Thanks for including me.

You sent your hat to Art? Re-block?

Regards,

The Adventurebilts rock. I sat on mine again and took a photo this arvo- turned it into my avatar- seem to be getting a nice reverse taper.

thanks for the info guys.

Strider,
I did have Art reblock my Adventurebilt because I had messed with it so much. Turned out beautifully and I wear it every day and don't mess with it anymore. Arts shop is very close to me so I just dropped by with it. He has helped me with several hats now but I am sad to say that he is retiring and moving away soon. The good news is that he plans to keep his hat shop open for mail order and internet sales after he moves but his vintage clothing shop is going to be liquidated when he moves.

I am so happy that you rebloacked that hat! Though you should have sent it to Fedora. I know that Art is a consummate professional, but to get that Raiders block right, it has to go to Fedora.
Anyway, I am glad you reblocked it and I am glad you're happy.

I see the Testimonial page is up. It looks great! There are some excellent photos and comments on there.

What's the web address again? (Steve, you're going to have to add a link in your signature to get folks to your site.) Regards. Michaelson

Here you go

http://www.adventurebilthats.com/

Thank you! Regards. Michaelson

Hey, Hemingway, they've got pics of guys who look just like us! Oh, waitaminute.... 8-[

On the testimonial page, the pictures say that you can click on them to enlarge the picture. I could not get this feature to work. The window with the larger picture never appeared. Did this work for anyone else?

I experienced that, too.

Regards,
Strider

You know, pal, you are right! But they have different names... Hmmm. I don't recall licensing my image to anyone.

Do you have a pop-up blocker or javascript disabled? It uses javascript pop-up windows for the larger images.

I have a pop up blocker on this new XP software. How does one disable it? I can't seem to find it under "settings" Thanks, Fedora

If you're using Internet Explorer... go to the top menus:

Tools->Pop-Up Blocker->Turn off Pop-Up Blocker

Course, it's always a good idea to turn it back on!


When a pop-up happens you can click on the yellow banner at the top of the window and allow it to the "White List" or "Allowed".


Skip

I use Mozilla Firefox, I disabled the popups for the site, and yet, ti stil is NOT working

I dont have pop up blocker and i am also experienceing this issue.
Steve the site looks great, im really glad that things are working out well for you.
Adam

Whew! I thought it was just that I don't know a dang thing about computers.

Ah, thanks for pointing it out guys. There was an error in the code, should be working fine now.

I apologize for any inconveniences this might have caused.

Yep, mine is working great!! Fedora

On the testimonial page if you could make the scrollbar color match the color of the rest of the page like a brownish it would look much nicer and natural.

I had thought about changing the colour of the scroll bar, but it would only work in IE and I try to make my sites as close to cross browser compatible as possible.

Yeah, scrollbar coloring works only in Internet Explorer and it is not approved by W3C.

You could also validate the source.

Steve, you're welcome to use these pix if you like:


yeah, a few weeks late, but what can you do?


Harry Shearer, me in the Adventurebilt, and Michael Palin.

I have more of a similar nature coming soon.

Wow, that Queen pic is fabulous! The hat color looks great there!

How did you meet those two guys? Story background please.
What did they think of your Indygear?

Thanks, I sent it to Namebrand. regards, Steve

They made no comments about the hat, but one lady working there said they must've been excited to meet Indiana Jones - a playful jab. As for the story, such as it is, it's here in another thread.

Here's how the lovely ladies of Hollywood wear an Adventurebilt (at 2am after many drinks, but just before going to Roscoe's chicken and Waffles):

Uh, not being from the West Coast, is she indicating she wants two more drinks, the time of morning, or how many of YOU she sees at the moment? Regards. Michaelson

uhhhhh. yes?

Thought so. Regards. Michaelson
