The Baron Indy Hat

I think this hat looks really nice from the side, but they have a front-ish view farther on down the page I'm not so impressed with. Yes, I know everyone's going to pounce all over me and say, in a booming chorus: "GET AN ADVENTUREBILT!!" Well, I already got one. So . I was just putting this here because I didn't know if anyone here had seen it before. Just something I came across while browsing the internet.

Notice their price for the 100% Beaver Felt .

Also, notice their price for "special" aging... !!!



Appearantly, this place is claiming they made the fedoras for ToD. hmm, don't we all know how this story goes?

Regards,

Nowdays every hat maker in the US made a fedora for Indy... btw it looks cool but price its stunning...

I'd really like to read a detailed review of the Barons from someone, who could compare it directly to the AB for Indyartifacts.de. I simply don't have a clue about that hat in comparisson to others. What are their sweatbands and liners like? What about the ribbon, felt quality and craftmanship?

If you buy one, please make a post about it.

Thanks,

Marc

Someone did not that long ago, but for the life of me I can't remember who it was. Regards! Michaelson

Personally I'm not a fan of Baron's hats. Just from looking at the picture you can tell that the bow on the ribbon isn't big enough. It also looks like it has a teardrop crown rather than the centerdent. Maybe its just me but I'd never pay $300 for a hat that's so inaccurate. :junior: -IJ

Maybe that made the badly tapered plane hat!

Actually,
The lost post that had the pictures in it of the hat that the
person bought, everyone aggred that it looked 100% exactly like
the tod plane hat. There were tons of pictures in that one.
To bad its gotten swiped.

Maybe they did make a few hats. You know a French company made a few jackets so maybe Baron made a few hats. I would like to have seen those pics though.
