Not an Indy, but it's dimensions aint' bad, and it's just a mighty fine hat.

I'm not 100% sure on this, but I think this hat maybe pre-50's.

The original listing:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0211045286

2 7/8 brim and a 6 inch crown (open crowned) with a 1.5 inch ribbon (about 38 or 39mm), totally classic.[/img]

You know.. I looked at that listing and wondered what it would look like on someone's head. Now I know. It's not bad at all..

Good thing I've got a smallish head. I just barely fit the thing. It's total class. Reminds me a bit of the LC hat. Oddly enough this hat came turned. The bash is sort of a natural settling, I haven't used steam on it. The felt is almost velvet like, very smooth and easy to shape, yet it holds very well.

does have a touch of LCness now that you mention it.

Awesome! I've always wanted a whippet ever since i saw some ads for it in
a book called hat talk.

That's a fantastic hat, but nothing like anything ever worn by Indy. And why should it be? Make it your own and enjoy.
