An "Early" AB....my first real IJ hat.

Post by spiridon »

Hey guys, looking for feedback, suggestions or whatnot on this hat......I LIKE it. :D . This happens to be an early AB which I was fortunate in obtaining from one of the members here. I liked it so much I have contacted Steve and put my name in Queue for another one! (a "Raiders" model....when that one arrives, I will post pics in the "AB" thread)
One of my questions regarding my current hat is the way I have it shaped now......would that be considered more of a "Last Crusade" look? Just curious. Thanks for your suggestions and input.

Its kinda hard to tell from the pics, but it has a LC/ToD look to it IMO. It looks cool to me! :tup:

Nice looking lid. I'd say that the front pinch definitely looks more LC than Raiders. The Raiders hat has a very tightly creased front pinch. I think it suits you.

That hat suits you very well! I'd say it was a Cairo/LC hybrid. Enjoy your hat!

It's a testament to Steve's lids when someone posts a pic like this. That lid still looks fantastic, having gone so long without a reblock. I agree, the Crusade look is what it feels like to me, and it looks awesome, at that! :D
