But......But if it is "Official" that means it is in the new movie....right ? I just hope we can see the pin on screen !

Oh, great - now arguements about SA hat pins...

No, it's just 'official' because it's licensed by Lucasfilm. Nothing more.

the pin was gold!!!

no, it was silver!!!

no, it was white gold!!!

the funny thing is i think i saw a DP when i was walking around today....the only reason why i couldn't identify it 100% is because the pin looked quite thinner than the usual offerings, along with the ribbon. she had the tell-tale tear drop on top though and a very rich brown colour....it didn't look bad at all. i wish i had the chance to stop him and examine it.....definitely was not the wool offering.

people around these parts avoid the dp like the plague....it would be nice to find out why. i'm curious too.....but i'm still licking my wounds after joe peters warned me not to buy a stetson temple and i didn't listen to him

Actually, I shouldn’t make too much fun of the DP – my first Indy hat was a Disney/MGM wool DP, purchased a couple of years before I got into the whole gear thing and didn't know my butt from a hole in the ground. After some Indygear education I actually rebashed it to get rid of the teardrop (and naturally ditched the pin) – a bit like trying to make a purse out of a pig’s ear – and ended up with something that looked like the LC Castle Brunwald hat. Of course after owning an AB the DP just sits in the closet, but I pulled it out the other day while my AB was out getting reblocked and it didn’t look as horrible as I remember. There’s just that hint of purple to it that I always hated, and of course it’s too short…
