I was thinking to buy a hj from todd costumes . I was wanting the raiders verision, but has three verision of raiders. I was wondering if any one had pics of the raven bar verision that he offers.
thanks,
indybrad

Very few people have gotten a satisfactory Raiders look from Todd's HJ, though Aries-Canon is one of the great successes. But I read something about a new block shape... and I've never seen a Todd's shaped by Todd, except on his website. I'd be curious to see more examples.

I'm not sure where, but I also read that Todd is now using his own block. I think it was on a French website that I saw this-- and he also includes the vintage HJ crest in his liners, according to this source.

I've never seen a Todd's HJ in person, but I can recommend Magnoli's HJ without reservation, if it's the Raiders look you want.

If you really want a Raiders fedora the HJ from todd you will not be happy with. It will tapper faster than you will beleive. There is way to much air in the felt. The block shape is wrongand the ribbon is just ugly.
If you must have the Logo HJ than the magnoli Hj made by Steve is the way to go for you. It has the right block shape, he Puts the hats together much better than the Normal HJ from anyother place.
If you want the best Raider fedora I would say go with the Adventurebilt line.

I can only repeat what the previous three people have said: go for the magnoli HJ, if you're sure you want an HJ. :junior: -IJ
