    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    I have often wondered if HJ just didn't take a cowboy hat, cut it down, and do a bedora center crease to create the Indy hat.

    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    Don't forget Stewart Granger. Honestly though, a member here just carved a quarter inch off of his Federation because people in NYC thought it was a cowboy hat. :D

    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    The Indiana Jones movies and character are a takeoff of the old cliffhanger serials of the 1930's and 40's. I would have thought that as being common knowlege. Today I guess you could equate it to a movie sequel (extreme cliffhanger) or a Television episode ending in, "To be Continued."

    unbelievable!

    I promised myself that wouldn't say anything about shaving beavers but... OK, I'll stop. :offtopic: Anyway, somebody has to design hats for Paris Hilton.

    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    I forgot to mention Stewart Granger in "King Solomon's Mines" What I'm talking about is what led to the Indiana Jones films. And whether we like it or not. Hats in general would not have seen such a resurgance had it not been for the Indy movies. I see the Indy hat as a composite of...

    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    OK... no bites. I'll bite. Let me expound my theory. Indiana Jones was a character created to represent all the cliffhanger heros. I used to watch these things on Saturdays as a child. Reruns in my youth but most were Tarzan or Cowboy stuff. Our price of admission was 6 Royal Crown...

    Hey! He just sold off his Indy stuff. The economy is getting worse. The murder rate is up. What's to make me think otherwise?

    Stetson Open Road vs Akubra Campdraft

    The new Stetson Open Roads have no relation to the vintage OR's. The Akubra Campdraft is as good as it gets these days. It's sad. Sorry that you got ripped off. You gotta pay $300 or more for a decent Stetson these days. And then ya gotta wonder.

    Indy Hat, Cowboy, Fedora or Quatermain ?

    Yea, I thought it was Quartermain too. :D I think that the original Indy hat was based on those 3. What was HJ thinkin? What do you think? Markus

    To Tilt or Not to Tilt...That is the Question!

    I usually handle my hat left handed too. My right hand is usually busy holding a brew. :D

    My New Goorin

    The top is sewn on, so I doubt it's corrugated cardboard. The corrugation is probably stitched in, as on one of my wool IRISH WALKING HATS. Granted the picture resolution does not show this so... it's just an assumption on my part. Notice how the corrugation changes and swirls around the brim...

    It doesn't sound like his hat needs stretching. It just needs time to shape to his noggin.

    Hat Stretcher suggestions

    I have that problem too, except that I'm more of a short oval. :) I just dampen them around the ribbon, pull it down snug and wear it all day, that way. Your head is your best hat block. ;)
