Club Obi Wan

About a year ago I ordered and soon received my very first Indy fedoras. They were both from adVintage:

- one Last Crusade style in 'sable', 80% rabbit/20% beaver felt
- one Raiders style, in 'Raiders sable', 100% beaver felt

They were a bit too big, but I loved them and wore them both a ton.

In Autumn, last year, I received two hats from Andrea Tognarelli (The Vintage Hatmaker). I put them on and, maaan, they felt amazing. I looked in the mirror and they were an amazing fit. Only now I had realized how big and ill-suiting my initial hats were. Andrea had managed to get my size just right.

This spring I decided to ask him if he also reblocks hats and if yes, if he can reblock them to a smaller size. His answer was positive so I sent the hats to him.

I got them back only a few weeks later and now they were an amazing fit. He did a great job, even managed to save me the some of the original parts.

Here are a few pics of the reblocked hats:











Andrea works really nice and he is a great guy as well. I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting a new hat or help with an old one.

You can see some high-resolution pictures, as well as some pictures of me sporting the hats, in the link below:

As always, thanks for looking!

Thanks Bear for kind words ! happy to help ;-)! if anyone could be interested these are my references: Facebook “Tognarelli vintage fedoras” and instagram “the_vintage_hatmaker”

My pleasure, man! You deserve it!

How much did full-reblock cost? I have a 4 year old Garrison hat in need of reblocking, since David is now on sabbatical.

Pffff, I payed €125 for both hats and shipping... You can ask Andrea directly, though.

Depends if you need new lining, sweatband, etc....

Cheers,
Bear
