Another Indy hat question

Post by knibs7 »

Ok so I'm still on hunt for the hat that closest resembles the old Herbert Johnson poet. I want a Raiders bash this time and was wondering if I should go with Yojimbo Jones' Raiders hat which is a Christy's or if I should try my luck at a Magnoli HJ. The only reason I'm leaning more towards Yojimbo's hat is because I KNOW he can do the SA Raiders bash. I'm not saying Magnoli can't, but I just haven't seen otherwise.

Here is Yojimbo Jones' hat

Any suggestions?

Those hats are made and creased by Steve Delk. I'd go with the Mag/HJ.

Well, as already said, the Mag/HJ comes from Steve Delk. My only reservation, which is PURELY a personal opinion - I like the Christy's felt better. At least, on the Adventurer model, if that's what YJ is using. I think it will behave more like the Raiders hat does. I say this having personally bashed a Christy's Adventurer AND a Mag/HJ.

On the other hand, you have Steve's proven skills, the aging process to resist shrinking, and the authenticity factor of the HJ. I know. I'm not helping. But I'm honest. :mrgreen:

The real question, Chewie, is which hat will accept a Diet Pepsi better? :lol:
