Re: HJ
Yes, Herbert Johnson was the original company that supplied hats to the Raiders production and their "Poet" was the model that was used in all the films up to CS, but for many years there was a mystery about what happened to the original Raiders block.PLATON wrote:http://www.swaineadeney.co.uk/catalogue ... index.html
is this the hat we're talking about?
AB may have found the original block and the original felt and may be offering it as their new factory made fedora (see the last part of that thread for more info).

I received an e-mail from Maryann at Swaine Adeney Brigg last week. The current price for the Poet is £190. Add in £48 shipping (to the States) too!

It sure is a pretty "noggin cover" though, despite the price. But there's no way we in the States can justify purchasing one these days, given the currency rates, and the ability to pick one up from Magnoli or Todd (or any other vendor I'm missing).

Add another $100 in shipping and you have youself a $500 purchase. That is outright rediculous. Granted, I don't have to buy it, so I don't know why I am writing this, but it just seems that if they cared about their Indiana Jones "afficionados" they would not be trying to rob them blind. I doubt anyone here would pay that, but someone has has not yet discovered COW might.
