Club Obi Wan

Good Day,
Well the day has finally arrived. I now have in my hands a new JPD that I placed on order back in late January. I will make sure to get some pictures posted tonight when I get home from work.
But for those who are still waiting, all I can say is, it's worth the wait. At least I am of that opinion. This is my second JPD (I picked up one during his holiday special last December). I was very pleased back then and even more so today.

good news kobol....can't wait to see the pics

Kobol:

How do you compare the JPD to Akruba? I cannot wait to see my JPD.

Sincerely

Dr. Seuss:
Actually I never owned an Akubra. Later this year I plan on buying one to add to the collection. I do have an Adventurebilt on order though. I can't wait until that one arrives also.
Chewbacca Jones did some execllent comparisons if you haven't read them already. Not too mention there are a few more posts and reviews of JPD's fedoras from others who have much more experience with the other maker's fedoras. My only other experience is with Stetson and Bailey and I can say hands down that I prefer my JPD to them.
But I do believe you will be pleased with your JPD.

Congrats on the hat Kobol! Wow, you've been waiting since late January? I guess I'm looking at another two months... Please post pictures when you have a chance.

Here are the pics of my new JPD. The last pic shows both my JPD's side by side.

The new one has the follwing specs (2 7/8 brim / 2 5/8 sides / 5 1/2 crown / "Turn" / SOC bash)

My first JPD is just standard 2 3/4 / 2 1/2 / 5 1/2 Raiders Bash)

That looks awesome on you Kobol! Fantastic hat. I can't wait to get mine.

Steve

Both of those hats look great!!
