A couple of years ago, I had an Indy Jones fedora done for me by Herbert Johnson, the original movie hatter according to my research. I was surprised by the stiffness of the beaver when I received it, thought it would be much more supple, but hung it in my library as a piece of movie memorabilia and occasionally wore it as weather permitted. (I also had a leather jacket done by Wested, the originally makers of the movie jacket for Harrison Ford.)
After about a year, I happened to notice that the crown is off-center from the brim! In otherwords, the pinch of the crown was not aligned with the center of the front brim. Very strange. I was wondering if anyone here has heard much about HJ's work. I was on someone's web site devoted to Indywear and he bypassed them when getting a hat. I also noticed another post here about Gladhatter being a great source for an Indy hat.
Firstly, anything you've heard about other experieinces with HJ. And secondly, any suggestions on what I should do about my belated descovery?
