With the availability of the original ribbon and the Portugal felt and the great block and everything else Steve and Marc are now providing I thought it appropriate to now label the Adventurebilt as "THE ULTIMATE INDY". Kinda has a catchy feel to it.

Kinda feel my AB I already have is the Ultimate Indy, but since these guys are continuing to make strides and jumps to improve the hat... that could very well be a great name for it! Until they make another fantastic discovery down the road!

Having been on this forum for six months now, and having bashed four Akubras and one AB, I still can't get over how much my AB is THE hat. I have wanted the hat since I was thirteen years old, when I saw Raiders on the big screen. I'm thirty-seven now and wear it every day. Definately the Ultimate Raiders Fedora.

If I could have an AB Deluxe with the HJ pentagon crest and the letters IJ in the sweatband then that would make it pretty ultimate for me.

Agreed, VP. The word 'ultimate' is kind of a relivant term to the user in this case, isn't it?

Right. For me, that would mean it also smells like chocolate.

Marc, I hesitate to paypal, because it just occurred to me that people might start chewing on my Ultimate Indy Hat. I'm going to have to rethink the whole Chocolate Indy thing...hmm...maybe caramel...

Mmmm....chocolate Indy hat....
Maybe next Christmas. (OK you prop replicating folks, you have a task, small Indy hat molds for chocolate and ice cubes!
)
I know they have a logo already, but maybe the could put the AB Deluxe logo inside a maroon pentigon shape?

or whiskey. However, it would most definately not smell of elderberries!

So a small idol mold was broght up previously? May have been before my time, or I just didn't see it. The idol would be easier to mold that the hat, but less distinguishable. (as an ice cube at least, chocolate might be OK). Maybe some mini staff of Ra head piece too.

A chocolate mould Idol would be easy to do, all you need is a idol and access to a vac forming machine.
Of couse this might be considered re-casting and there's nothing to stop you casting plaster or resin versions from the mould. Unless you put some sort of chocolately imprint in the back of it. Cadbury/Hershey Idols?

A full size idol would be a LOT of chocolate!
Opps, getting off topic though...Jerry see what you did!

U complaining?
You can rotocast it, like easter eggs and get it hollow.
