Club Obi Wan

Here I am siting at home, Watching Gretchen Wilson on CMT, and there's a knock on the door........ Why it's the mailman, and he's got my COW coins.....and wait.......no.... it can't be.......What's this??? It's a big box from Germany!!!!!!




Thanx Marc, My AB is a work of art.

A COW coin and an AB? That's a double shot of heaven.
Congrats and enjoy!

Cheer up the day doesn't it? :D:D:D

Did you ask for a raven bar? Did you notice the slight reverse taper?

Yes indeed, a great looking hat! So excited he couldn't stop shaking!

Gosh, you were shaking so much with excitement, that you showed up as a blur!!! I love it when folks get new hats. Take it on a long out of doors trip and watch that new hat take on the looksof a well traveled friend. It would be a shame to own a beaver hat and not abuse it somewhat. It will take a lickin' and keep on tickin' A hat should comunicate the personality of the wearer. Sure, I am mostly an armchair adventurer, but I want my daily hats to look like I have been somewhere, doing dangerous and thrilling things. So, I guess my hat should communicate what I wish I were doing. Fedora

Very well said. J. Peterman couldn't have put it any better.

Did you do that bash... it looks interesting, because you don't see an Indy-hat with a turned down brim often! I also just can totally agree to what Fedora said, a person who buys an Adventurebuilt shouldn't be scared to take it on adventure!

Now what is the right phrase for this... I think there's only one: Made to measure, Built to last!

That's one beautiful lid. Congratulations!

Blooze, what a fantastic lid!

Many congratulations!

I thought my Peters Bros. was top notch until I got this masterpiece. The fur is smooth as silk, super soft, and a nice rich brown. My PB feels like a rock compared to Marc's hat, and after a year of daily wear, I thought the PB was getting softer. The ribbon is beautiful, once again, shaming the PB. I have a SOC bash with about a 1" turn. When I took the pictures I didn't even realize the brim was down, until after I posted the pics. I have the same problem erri had when he got his, rain! Hopefully I'll get some better pics this weekend. Now I can finally get my PB reblocked, it's my yard work/gardening hat.

Yes I did. Unfortunately I forgot to take a picture of it, but yes, it is there.

Rain!!! Why it had to be rain??? :evil: :evil:

I agree. At least with snakes, I could have still taken some pictures outside.

Those hats are so beautiful that I'm now scared of wearing it when there is too much humidity or it's raining darn it

I absolutely love the brim. The crown dents look a lot smaller than I am used to though, but if we all had hats that look the same, this would get boring quickly. Congratulations!

Wow Blooze!! looks great onya mate. Congrats. I remember my first Fedora....hang on, I've only got 1


Congrats TAZ

Here's a couple more pics comparing the AB Deluxe to my Peter's Bros.


I've also played with the bash of the AB Deluxe since the first pics.
