Looks good! I am liking the Uptowner. How does it feel, like it could take an adventure?





Good Errol Flynn poster in the background too...

Yes it feels quite substantial. I like it - I actually prefer it to my old Magnoli HJ

Probably ;) I just think this one suits me a bit more. I'm waiting on a Henry too so it will be good to see them side by side

I was just giving out a little good-natured ribbing, and not to you. ;) Looks like a really nice hat, indeed. Smooth and luxurious-looking. Very nice color and block-shape - very Indy! Looks like Todd has a real winner.

LOL- yes I'll try and get some better ones at weekend. The sides are a lot straighter in reality- it's a pretty good Raiders shape I'd say. Todd -as usual - has come up trumps :notworthy:

Yes- I'm a big fan of Flynn- used to have a huge collection of original posters and signed stuff. Flynn, Cary Grant and Bogart are hard to beat IMHO :D

I think that's just the lighting / flash. I can't see any hint of green otherwise. Just looks dark brown- maybe a bit too shiney but not a bad colour

Well, credit where credit is due:
That IS a snappy hat on you, djd... but it bears mentioning: You've definitely got the look for it.
You're a guy who quite simply has a good face for a hat like that.
Kudos.
:TOH:
