    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Sure, as soon as I get a chance. (It's the standard Adventurebilt one though- white with gold Staff of Ra headpiece logo, brown sweatband with gold lettering and a little white bow.

    Many apologies for the very late reply everyone, but I just posted some photos of my Adventurebilt. Steve Delk came through!

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Hello all, Just before Christmas, I posted a bit about my dealings with Steve Delk of Adventurebilt. I was asked to share some photos of the Raiders 100% beaver fedora he made me. Apologies for the long wait, but here are some photos. As this is my first high-quality fedora, I'm not able to...

    Peak lapel height in the 30s-40s

    Hello all! So, I've been looking at getting a new overcoat in a traditional 30s-40s style. I'm mainly looking at traditional double-breasted "American" styles with peak lapels that are cut somewhat straight. We've got a good specialty vintage store for men's clothes from the 20s-60s here in...

    I'm happy to announce that my hat arrived today and it's great. I'll try to snap some photos soon (a bit crazy here atm with Xmas coming up). Thanks to everyone here for the support!

    Oh, I'm not. No way. I should have it tomorrow or Wed barring any silly season delays.

    It's still in transit. Currently stuck in limbo in Copenhagen Airport due to the Xmas rush I assume. Should be here next week.

    Agreed. Obviously, one can't always be 100% prepared when life-threatening illness arises and desperate measures are needed to survive. When businesses actually go bankrupt, customers usually lose everything with nothing to show. But in this case there just seems to be lack of structure in...

    Just his regular e-mail address.

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Another update. Steve just messaged me that my hat is done and will be shipping tomorrow via 3-5 day priority. (I've asked him to get back to me with tracking.) So this might be settled as early as next week. Excited, hopeful and a tad nervous would just about explain my state right now. Looks...

    I'll have one to celebrate when the hat gets here! Indeed. And the whole thing could've been avoided with a simple "The hat is still on schedule."

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    So, I just got a reply from Steve. He apologized for not getting back to me sooner and said it would be in the mail this week. I thanked him and asked for tracking when it is in the mail. Fingers crossed...

    Another small update. I got word again that Steve had responded to a message elsewhere, which means he is ignoring me. I have therefore filed a complaint through Paypal since I was still in the window to do so. He now has until the 26th to either respond, deliver my hat or provide a refund. I...

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Small update from my end. I've been trying online white pages to try and verify current numbers and addresses, but they all want money to reveal any information and since I don't' know which are scams and which are not, nothing there. I did find a notice at the trademark office that the...

    Adventurebilt hats status update (read if you have an outstanding order)

    Many thanks for doing so, as it's important for people to know that the problems with Delk still appear to be going on. I take responsibility for not searching diligently enough first, (which I usually do- I'm not one of those "newbs" that tends to pop into forums completely unresearched asking...

    As a side-note... I have so far found THREE different phone numbers supposedly leading to AB/Delk: Website number: 662-497-1396 Almost impossible to not get a "call failed" notice. Was answered ONCE by a woman, claiming it to be a wrong number, but the cell reception was horrible. Number give...

    Early October, with a promised delivery before Christmas. Steve states a "lead time maximum of 6 weeks" on the website. (I was initially talking to Penman, but his lead time at the time was 5+ months but I couldn't wait that long. Faster alternatives like "The Henry" were a non-starter for me...

    As I wrote, I believe mail fraud is still a federal offense and I agree- if someone is willingly taking money knowing they can't or don't intend to deliver, that person will have nothing but my contempt. At the same time, extreme illness can make people behave and act very strangely- to a...

    Welll... hmm... I'm likely to be chastised for this but I actually don't like scotch at all. Can't stand it, even though I'd really like to like it- especially Glen M 'cause that's what Connor McCleod (Highlander) drinks haha. The only thing close to whiskey I can stand is Fireball, which I love...

    Perhaps, but there are of course a couple options if I feel the need to have my money returned.
