Last crusade temple'ish with a slight raiders turn.

Post by Holt »

So I allways wanted to have a hat that could pass for a LC and a Temple with my favorite detail og all time, the turn. This hat has it all. The turn is very sligth but it's there. Just enough to give it character. I wanted a hat I could wear with LC gear and temple ( Which I have started to collect agian)

The hat is still damp, You can tell by the dark ribbon. This is my other federation.

(Btw, you might have noticed I took down my raiders thread. I discovered a serious flaw in detail that gave it a different look. Will post the new hat when it's finished. But for now this)

Feel free to give your most brutal opinion on it. :TOH:

I gotta be honest, I'm not seeing anything but a LC hat here. Don't get me wrong, it looks great, but I don't see anything "Temple" about it. :-k

I like the overall look. And yes, for me anyway, the turn is what makes the whole thing cool.

If it was me I might tighten up the top of the front pinch and pull the front brim down a bit more, but that's just personal preference. It's a 10 out of 10 as it is. :TOH:

I can definitely see TOD in that hat. Especially the pinch.

I tightend the front pinch alittle more and ended up with this!

I am pretty happy!

Love the look of that hat. Reminds me of the hat worn in the LC promo stills with Harrison next to Sean Connery.

I've always been a fan of the hybrid Indy fedora, and I think you found an especially attractive and well-balanced variation. I do see the turn, just a bit, and I love that pinch!

I see the ToD suspension bridge hat in these photos, which is one of my favorites in the whole series. Nicely done! I seem to remember you being particularly skilled at recreating creases from specific scenes. :notworthy:
