"Official" hats at ThinkGeek

ThinkGeek.com usually has some great stuff, but they just started carrying the "
officially licensed" (but only vaguely Indy) fedora.
It's at least made out of fur felt, but sports the short, tear-drop bashed crown.
I submitted a review of it to their site, but the review rules say you can't include URLs to other sites/competitors, etc., so I couldn't say "save your $ and get a Fed or AB."

Because they're mass-produced by people who don't really care for people who don't know the difference.

At least they have their own picture of the product, which shows the furfelt looking a bit different. The felt in that picture looks almost identical (except for color) to a piece of @#$% I have. I think the official wool looks to be of better quality..

The uploader is such a ####, some people make statements about the accuracy of the hat/ThinkGeek's claims, and the guy goes off like a firecracker. Somebody representing a company shouldn't be acting like such a dick.
