Facebook recommended this to me. The pictures look to good to be true.
This has scam written all over it. I'm betting the pictures are stolen.

Yeah, it looks like Brian's plus a little (bad) photoshopping to adjust the color.

I reported this and confirmed with Brian Lalonde (Screencapped) they are his stolen photos.

Now the challenge is to try and reblock/shape it into something recognizable! 8-[]

So, is it a wool felt hat?

Nothing a little steam, new ribbon, a reblock can’t fix… I think!

I'm impressed that anything at all was delivered, was expecting it to be a complete scam... :rolling:

They always send something so you get a tracking number. Usually it’s a knockoff of what you ordered. Sometimes it’s a little piece of @#$% that has nothing to do with anything.

Nice teardrop bash up top! idk, maybe use it for work outside in the yard. Those DP hats are getting up in price! I bought one to knock around in and it cost almost $40 a few years ago!

I think it is not too bad, actually. You can give it a reblock and it will be an Indy hat. :-k
