Club Obi Wan

Well, I did it. I broke down and just finished ordering an Adventurebilt from Fedora. I simply have no willpower at all.

It's going to be your basic Raiders style in brown beaver with a Cairo bash. Steve was wonderful to deal with via email and helped get what should be my proper size. Turns out I'm just a tiny bit smaller than a stock size and will size mine down to accomodate this.

Now the waiting begins...

Congratulations on the new fedora! Can't wait to see pictures!

You won't regret it!

I broke down and crushed my Adventurebilt yesterday and it all popped back out, none the worse for wear.

great news and congrates you will just love it.

Be sure to post pics when you're done.

You definitley won't regret it.

Has anyone ever regretted it? Great choice, Baggers. That's a exactly what I ordered when I bought mine. Great hat. :junior: -IJ

Congrats, Baggers! You'll find that Steve really knows what he's doing when he makes a fedora. Hopefully you weren't strapped for cash after making this purchase, because I don't recommend eating your new hat! The AdventureBilt is a wonderful investment, and though you'll want to baby it when it arrives, my advice is don't. Wear it. Wear it alot. Go on adventures with it. Don't worry that you'll harm your hat. Once it's been on a couple good adventures, you'll find it'll lust for more.

I agree Steve is great, he's THE MAN!
Do you have any hint to get my own size for a hat? I took the measure in a way and i think it's the proper way but if you have any hint for that i would be happy to know

Can't wait to see pics of your hat.
i just ordered a Raven Bar AB myself, don't know when it will be ready. Anyway you, indyguys, will be the first ones to see pics

I was happy to help and you have made a fine choice! You have chosen wisely. Be sure to post pics when you have it.

I am also looking forward to Baggers' pics.

My pleasure Hemingway, i will post pics as soon as it arrives... like Bagger will do i suppose. I'm very curious too about his hat.

Does anyone know anything about AB pure rabbit ? i know the beaver is BEST but if anyone can tell me about the rabbit i would appreciate it
Thanks. Whip

Fellas, as you've already heard, great decision and know that you will be rewarded when your hat arrives.

Looking forward to pics as well.
(I still owe some of my AB Raven Bar in Beaver, but it will be another month or so until I return from business travels.)

I also went with the Adventurebilt beaver felt from the Cairo scene....A great hat, you won't be disappointed! Please post your pics ASAP!

Captain D

Did anyone get a rabbit AB?

I'm wearing one of his Argentine rabbit AB's today, but I'm not sure if it's comparible to his current stock. Regards! Michaelson

I've got a rabbit AB. Its what I'm wearing in my avatar. Its a great hat!

Glad there are some good messages about the rabbit because it's what i bought.

Top drawer material. Regards! Michaelson

Hey i havent seen much rabbit AB pics, (besides ur avatar weaver i cant remember of any other ) hope to see some of those soon

Well, here's some pics of me and my rabbit AB. I wish I had a digital camera so I could get some good hat pics. But this is the best I can do. I certain light the rabbit has a Raven Bar/ Venice Pier color to it.

Actually he's my cousin...no, no, only kidding! I've never heard that one before!

lol man its true u look exactly like him, get a ferrari and ill ask you for an autograph for sure

Ok, ok...I'll get a Ferrari. Maybe if every member chipped in about $100 then I could get one! But I don't know, for the price of a Ferrari I could buy a lot of gear.

P.S. Which pic makes me look like him the most?

Hey there J_Weaver!

Awesome pics you have there! Is that your new Wested authentic colored Goatskin that you have on in your avatar and in those pics by chance?

Thanks for posting!
Captain D

Thanks Captain D!
Yup, that my Wested ToD authentic brwon goat. Its now about 8 months old. It has boken in just perfectly. It feels just like an old glove when I put it on.

P.S. I'll use any excuse I can to post pics of my gear!

I know that this is the Fedora section , but if you have any more pics of your authentic goat I'd love to see them! Also, how much lighter (in color) is the authentic goat vs. the dark-brown goat...?

Again, I apologize for chatting about the jacket under the fedora section....
Kindest Regards,
Captain D

J Weaver.I'd say the pic in your avatar is the schumy one

Thank you J_Weaver for the PM of pics...you have a great lookin' jacket, and of course Adventurebilt Fedora, there as well!

High Regards,
Capt. D

No trouble Captain D. I'm always glad to help a fellow gearhead!
