Hi

It certainly looks like its been on an adventure or two!

Given it's hard to judge dimensions from a photo, but:

The hat appears to have some taper - a bit TOD ish
The ribbon seems a little too narrow.

That aside to me it has an indy vibe going on.

I'm sure someone better placed than me will respond as I have only recently discovered COW.

I like it-it looks pretty close to the Stetson Weekender I converted to an Indy-style hat. The ribbon could be a little bigger, maybe. The real question is, do you like it?

Excellent question, and that's the only one that's of any importance. If you do, who CARES what 'we' think? YOU'RE the one who has to be happy, and if it serves that purpose, then yes, it's a perfect Indy hat! :M: :tup:

Regards! Michaelson

Screen accurate? No. I would agree with everyone else though, it's good if it fits you and you like it.

looks like a really nice hat to me. Like a mix between Indys hat and Alan Grants hat from 'Jurrasic Park 3' :)

Here's a pic of it on..

It's actually a Akubra 'Fedora' I picked up from 'The Hattery'.
I really had no intention of it becoming Indy-esque, but it just seems to have turned out that way..
I'm quite liking it :)

It is a nice looking hat. Taking hat photos from only a couple feet away always distorts the perceived proportions. Try taking the picture from 6 feet away or more. Use a mirror, timer, or friend to take the picture.
