Just Got My First Indy Hat.......With Pics!
Here is a picture of me in my first Indy fedora. I just got it Saturday but waited until now to post about it because I didn't want to be harassed for not having a picture.

Sorry the picture is so huge. Yes, I was trying to mimic my avatar and no, my eyes aren't really that color. I'm very happy with the hat and my only regret is that I bought it before I knew about the Adventurebilt. I think I'll order one to and then use this as my rain hat or something. Here is also a picture of my web belt I got from Slodier City.

It seems to be of great quality and I'm very pleased with it as well. Just one question though, am I wearing it backwards? I don't know what that spill is on my pants, must have been something I had for dinner that night.
I'll keep posting pics of my gear as it arrives and look forward to hearing what you guys think!

Did I say it wasn't? Indy hardly meets AFR 35-10, look at his beard fer cryin out loudHemingway Jones wrote:Indy's is un-trimmed. It hangs down from the first belt-loop.Fedoraman wrote:No it's not backwards. That is the way the military web-belts are worn in all 4 branches...except for the fact that it needs to be trimmed down to meet AFR 35-10.
Nice hat, Junior.

Well, Old Sport, I was merely commenting that I believe that Junior was trying to emulate Indiana Jones and not AFR 35-10, wherever that non-sequitor came from. But, if you choose to take that personally, then, I suppose, the next drink is on me.Fedoraman wrote:Did I say it wasn't?

Nothing personal about it whatsoever, just making ribbing conversation.Hemingway Jones wrote:Well, Old Sport, I was merely commenting that I believe that Junior was trying to emulate Indiana Jones and not AFR 35-10, wherever that non-sequitor came from.

Looking down, the buckle is on your left, the tongue (other end of the belt) is on the right.
But PraireJones, it sounds like you are saying the Marines keep their buckle on the right? So the tongue feeds through from the left side? I never knew that.
Regardless, ^Jr has it correct for Indy (unless that is a shot off of a mirror). See the belt pics on the main page:

No!!!!
Correction. I am 100% incorrect in that. The belt in the picture is correct. Somehow I had a major brain fart!!! I will now proceed to do push-ups until I puke. It's okay, I've done it before.
At least I can tag you center-chest from 500 meters.
I am very confused now. Does Indy's belt go the opposite way?

(OK, this is from a running cadence I heard Marines sing when I lived overseas ... modified slightly)
Running through the jungle and what do I see?
Ten little monkeys are a lookin' at me.
They all start laughin' and I figured out why ...
So I fixed my web belt and pulled up my fly.
Count 'em out, Prairie. 1!, 2!, 3! ...
Best Regards,
