1984 TOD Stetson

Post by squidkidd »

Found this in an antique store in Vancouver, WA and I thought I'd share a couple pics I snapped with my cameraphone. Pricetag said $35 and the size was "large". If anybody wants it, it's still probably sitting in the store.

Ah, I remember mine from back in the day. Thought it was the coolest thing on the planet when I got it.

Anything to do with Indy is cool, IMHO. I had one of those hats too, and now my son wears it with his toy whip. It's all about admiration for a great (though fictional) hero. :)

I'd say take the sticker out and stick it in a higher end hat.

I suppose in it's own right that is now a collectible piece, even though it is what it is.

Bury it in the sand for a thousand years and it becomes priceless!

LOL --

I recall I also had one of those about a zillion years ago. Seeing it here again is very strange!

I remember that the sticker came off and my hair always got stuck in the glue on the inside of the hat..

Great memory.

regards

And that's what it is really, a piece of memerobilia. A die-hard gearhead won't consider that 'the' Indy hat to wear while in gear, but it can still suit the purpose of being given as a gift to those who either don't care about accuracy, or don't know any better - and also as a display piece with other Indy memerobila.

I bought one of those new. $29.95 in November of '84. Big money back in the day. I wonder what an Akubra would have cost me back then?

I'd still want one just as a display item in my collection corner.

For a serious Indy collector, one should have at least one example in their collection, that's for sure.

Even back in the day I got the deluxe furfelt version. Stayed away from the regular wool. :Dietrich:
