    Indiana Jones fedora

    Shot by Speilberg himself, here is a new picture of Indy taking a break between shots: The following new video opens up with a slew of Indiana Jones' hats and gives a bit of him in motion, hat-clad. http://www.indianajones.com/community/news/indyarrives.html best, Matt

    Shape a Panama?

    So... Thanks for the info RBH, But... Just how *exactly* do I shape the hat? Just soak it and shape it? How do I get it to stay until dry without me having to <i>hold</i> the thing until it completely dries? Although I'm sure nobody would recommend it; but can it be done multiple times...

    Shape a Panama?

    Hey folks, I just received this hat: The description says: <i>Made by Bianchi, this is a natural color geniune Panama straw man's hat size 7 1/8. It has a 2 1/4 inch brim black grosgrain trim and a sweatband. If you wish to reshape it: dampen throughly, reshape and hold in place with...

    Trim a Panama?

    I was looking around at some various Panama fedoras, ...And I noticed that it was near impossible to find a low, teardrop Panama fedora that had a brim 2 1/8", 2 1/4", or 2 3/8" inches. Now, I know this is likely to be the case because a Panama brim <i>should</i> be rather wide due to the...

    Somebody stop me please!

    Did you... You did. ...You just quoted Spinoza. On a hat forum. You, sir, now have my fullest respect that can be given over a hat forum. My turn! “Laws which prescribe what everyone must believe, and forbid men to say or write anything against this or that opinion, are often...

    Somebody stop me please!

    Looks like it. Is that where the felt is folded and then stitched, or just stitched along the edge for reenforcement?

    Somebody stop me please!

    Twins! I have a 60's(?) era stingy almost exactly like this one: The cloth "sweatband" isn't in the best shape, but the hat is in great shape. I'd wear it... Its just that I don't wear it and don't want it. [huh] - Matt

    "Rugged" Fedora Dilemma:

    Hmmm... I know what you mean... One of my 2 3/8" brim fedoras looks like a sombrero on me, too, and even my 4" crown hats look like top-hats. I'm sure to get any fedora trimmed to 2 1/8" at the nearby western store. Also, the "Indy" look is not something I want, either. Concerning the...

    "Rugged" Fedora Dilemma:

    ...Really? ...Really? Thats very informative. Furthermore, if I may: Does the hat look as tall :( on you as it does on the model in the photos in the seller's website? Does the leather band wear into a nice patina, like higher-quality leathers, or does it fade in an unwanted...

    "Rugged" Fedora Dilemma:

    A fedora-purchasing dilemma: I’m looking for a rugged, sturdy, (and yet) handsome outdoor fedora that will last look good with casual wear and outdoor wear. Specifically, I am looking for something with a teardrop/diamond crown and a 2 1/8” to 2 3/8” brim – viz. lower crowns (almost all...

    "Take your hats off, you are indoors".

    "Nuts," eh? "Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors...

    I inherited this hat.

    Speaking of the philosopher Umberto Eco... (A pincher! :eek: ) Lookin' good. - Matt

    PINCHERS UNITE!

    Philosophers pinch, too. Pinching, eh? Here is a picture of David M. Armstrong and J.J. Smart, two of the most famous philosophers of the past 100 years - both of which happen to be Australians. Since they are from Australia, check out this well pinched Akubra on Armstrong's head...

    I inherited this hat.

    Is that... I spy: The Walter Kaufmann translation of Friedrich Nietzsche's The Gay Science. The Daniel Conway edition of Friedrich Nietzsche's On the Genealogy of Morals. Oh, and lots of good stuff by Umberto Eco, Barthes, some Horkheimer, a bit of Theodore Adorno, Foucault... Hey...

    Found some vintage ad images on line

    I love retro advertisements! Especially painted ones with smiling, suited doppelganger-looking white men. Say - that fellow in the car has a nice hat... Matt

    Hat theft! Happen to You?

    Moral deficiencies? Your telling me! Last Eostar, someone took my hat during the coven meeting. I think it was was the nephew of the priestess, but I can't go around blaming people. I was at a restaurant and some elderly fellow mistook my hat for his. Until I stopped him, he almost walked out...

    Bogie borsalino

    Just my take: Now, I know everyone is ultra-supportive, positive, and generally really encouraging. That is great. But most of the time, people here seem not to make any kind of helpful criticism or contrary suggestions (A while ago, I was personally warned not to dissent or risk being...

    Why frightened of my fedora?

    Your right; very predictable. Woah there, my friend! I never asked for proof. I asked for evidence. The burden of proof fallacy is about a flaw in argumentation, whereas only logicians, mathematicians, and bartenders need "proof." On empirical matters, such as the existence of spooky stuff...
