Hey Fedora and Marc-
Your hats look GREAT in the movie! Outstanding. You can really tell the difference in quality between the Adventurebilts and the Herbert Johnsons of the other 3 movies. Good job! You should be proud!
I third it!
It's too bad, though, that this movie won't have the wonderful ambiguity and debates centered around the existence of the elusive "grey fedora." This time it's...pretty clearly grey Oh, and 3K$, I think Steve and Marc put a wire through at least one of the brims just to trip you up
Nice hats. I was standing in line waiting to go in, and the French guy next to me, who was also dressed the part (well, approximately), asked me where I got my hat. I started to tell him about a guy named Steve Delk when he interrupted me and said (translated) "Oh, I wouldn't settle for anything less than the official one. So I went online and got the real thing--" at this point he took his Dorfman Pacific off (I think it must have been that) to show me the unlined interior with a stamped "Indiana Jones" logo on the inside. The hat was so light a tan it was something like the background of this forum!
It seems a lot of things can pass off as "SA" for the average joe. We had a guy in the theatre wearing a dead-on Crocodile Dundee hat and a black leather jacket, and he ended up getting all the praise because he brought a 6ft black whip and cracked it a few times I love opening nights, a whole different crowd experience!

I loved the movie, loved the hats. Steve, Marc. I had my eye on those hats the whole time. They never were a let down, were very satisfying to look at. ... I need a hat with this Raiders, part II pinch. -- I saw 7 guys with "hats" in the theatre crowd of about 250. The only one that looked halfway good WAS a DP! All those poor souls without decent Indy hats, or no hats at all!! Who will help them!!?

Re: Hey Fedora and Marc-
Definitely ... Fantastic hats with their own character ... not Raiders, not ToD, not quite LC but KOTCS (I would say a touch of Raiders/LC). I like it!!!!

Same thing for me...except there was another AB in the theatre, but just because one of my brothers has the same size head as me. Got lots of compliments on the hat. They looked great on screen too!binkmeisterRick wrote: I also felt pretty cool knowing I was the only one in the theater with the real hat on! They look superb in the movie!

marc and steve sent out hats with plain white liners. costuming did something to make them goldTonyRush wrote:Am I mistaken or didn't Indy's hat have a gold satin lining in the last scene? I don't want to say too much about plot here.......but the shot was onscreen long enough for me to say:
"Hey, that's gold..."
"Is it?"
Pause
"Yeah. I'll have to ask Marc about that"
Anyone else notice it?

Funny you ask that...starks_6 wrote:One question I have though....why did they choose the bash that they did?? I love it, I think its looks great...
Its similar to the LC bash though and was this bash requested for on-screen continuity or was that just how it was??
I JUST read Indygear's new main site and there's a write up about the KotCS hat and the AB story on it. They mention how the hat was tweaked during the whole production process. I'd say go over and check it out, it's actually an entertaining read!
And over I go
read and now Im a little cranky... who is Bernie Pollack to say that Steve and Marc's hats were a caricature of the Raiders hats making them unacceptable :evil:
No offense to Marc or Steve, the CS fedora looks wonderful...but im now in that attitude of "who thehell is this guy"? hats not good enough, put the bag outside of the jacket, make the jacket from cow hide...mumble mumble

Yeah, Steve and Marc tried to get them to go with an exact Raiders look right from the git go, but they just wouldn't go for it. They had their own ideas about the hat and kind of continued in the LC direction. I guess none of them get the idea that Indy fans preferred the Raiders hat to all the others.

Haha I'm not arguing with that. if we didnt argue about things this forum would have died a long time ago!mtechthang wrote:Michaelson- that nearly caused a milk out the nose incident!!
