Can't wait to hear from him. Indy Bash, and I let him know that I have a rounder face, if that makes a difference, with a dimensional cut. Giddy, or something like it, though I figured id go for Beaver, hoping the wait would be less than an AB at this point. So, im haven't see the price total yet *lol*


They look great!

It sounds to me Jimmy's gotten quite busy lately. I know there have been a lot of positive reviews of his hats around these parts so the wait time for the hats might have encreased some.

I've seen a lot of shots of his Raiders rabbit hat and but none of the his beaver felt. You'll have to post some pics when you do get it.

Here are several:

nice hat fedoraman!!! i see you caught your wife in one of those pix coming to ask "what the #### are you doing?".....at least thats the same look i get when i'm bashing a hat and using some of my wife's kitchen tools

Looks great. Did you bash it yourself or have it done by Jimmy?

Hey Alathea,

You posted in another thread that you had a budget of around $150, right?

So, im haven't see the price total yet *lol*

Well, I hate to break it to you, but I think Jimmy's Beaver hats run about $300 or so.

As for the wait, I ordered my JPD in the latter half of December of last year, and got it on Feb. 14th, which is longer than I expected, but I imagine Jimmy's turnaround times have suffered due to the sudden spike in his sales. Even considering the nearly 2 month wait, it's still less time than it is taking for my AB's to arrive. And that's no slight against Steve, either, as I expected a mighty long wait for the AB's.

Anyways, I can't wait to see some pics!

$250

Yeah - she looks at me funny when I am messing with my hats all the time.

I usuallly bash my own but Jimmy bashed this one as I wanted to compare what I did to someone elses' work.

AH, yes, correct you are! They used to be $300, but I forgot Jimmy restructured his pricing. That's a good deal, but still $100 over Alathea's original budget

So I thought that Id spring for the beaver. I was looking at Akubra Fed Deluxes before this, though if his wait is really over the top I may go that route.....We'll see what he says.
