My Adventurebilt

Post by Minnesota Jones »

I had ordered one of these in time for the QM, and it arrived last monday, just in time! Let me just state the felt is wonderful, and Steve's block is bar none the best Raiders block, period. The 100% Beaver Felt is Optimo-like dense and has a great feel to it. This is very quickly becoming my favorite fedora. Here are some pictures from this weekend's QM summit.

Even out at the Observation Bar on the QM, it's a great lid

Steve, this fedora is amazing. Well done my friend, very well done!

WHEW! You sure are accumulating a large quantity of fedoras, man.

Say, did you ever make it to DL on Monday after I talked to you?

That's funny Minnesota. I had no idea you had an Adventurebilt! It looks great.
That's a great photo of you in the Observation Bar. It looks like it was taken at the wrap up party for Howard Hughes' "H=ll's Angels." :wink:

Thank Hemmingway!

And sorry Agent5, we just didn't have the time to get back there. Really REALLY wanted to... :( It would have been very tight with the security at LAX being so... well, you know. 8)

I agree. The block shape looks great, perfect, tall, and the brim looks great too.

I never get tired of hat pics! :wink: :D
