Hi Fedora (Steve),

Suprisingly I have gone off the idea of an HJ fedora, in favor of one of your creations...

Just a couple of things.

Do they come bashed?
Do you bash them with a turn?

Regards,

Good call HD. I couldn't be happier with my AB. I'm sure you'll correspond with Steve, but I know that the answer to all of your current questions is yes. But you can also get them open crown.

Open Crown

Yikes! Don't think I'm brave enough - I hide my head in shame, Indy woudl be so disappointed lol.

On my chepo hat I've tried and tried bashing, but never get that swoop I so love in Raven I think it is.

Fedora will do an excellent bash for you, whatever you ask for. But, should you choose to do it yourself, there are plenty of nice folks who would be more than happy to help you; certainly, I would, to the extent that I could. I'm sure Prairie and others would as well. The important thing is, with an Adventurebilt you are choosing one incredible hat.

I can do it anyway you want. You can email or pm me on the details. Thanks. Fedora

'You have chosen wisely' ...

, Harrison.
Steve makes a great hat.

P.S.> Nice avatar, Prairie.

Well, how could I not go with a faithful recreation by a fan.

I think I have a round head (Picture: head on floor drawing around it onto a piece of paper lol).

I'm just not convinced HJ with all good intentions will get it right.

Incidentally anyone from UK stung with an import duty?

I'm not entirely sure how to measure my head properly...any advice or pics?

Measure with a tape just above your ears.

Harrison, you will not be disappointed. I received my AB about a week ago (pure beaver, LC style) and I love it. It is by far the best Indy hat I've ever owned.

Regards,

If the package is marked gift (on the customs form) there wont be any extra money to pay. Learnt this the hard way - it can sometimes be as much as 1/2 the item cost!!

i paid 42 euro of taxes... :evil:

Steve insured it under my request, maybe that increased the price althought it was signed as gift.

Check out the Tribute page for The Adventurebilt on The Fedora Chronicles, there's a link to it everyday on the top of the news.

There's also a second page there with more then just Jones Style fedoras.

Cheers guys,

Much appreciated...now all that remains is to find somewhere to wear it.

Posted: **Tue Sep 20, 2005 7:17 am**

Ummm.... everywhere? That's the easy part!

Well i'd either have to wear body armor to prevent being stoned, or insure it lol.

And the other half will not go anywhere with me wearing it lol...oh i wish it was the thirties.

Things are that tough in Newcastle? It's certainly not worth your physical well-being.
Here in Boston, USA, you might get a few odd looks, but that would be the extent of it. And, mind you, these looks are coming from people you wouldn't want to speak to anyway.
Personally, as the instances of skin cancer continue to rise, more and more people will be wearing hats. I had something removed from my back and the first thing the doctor said was, wear a wide brim hat. -No problem there, doc.

BTW, how much is the AB shipping to Europe?
