You guys look great. Im getting tickets to the Exeter Comic con on June 25th and me and the missus will be in streets of cairo gear. Hopefully a few people will realise who we are supposed to be.......lol.
You must let us know how ComicCon goes in June, I'd be very interested to see if there's a stronger Indy presence by then with regards to the Indy 5 announcement. Be great to see some pics if your Streets of Cairo gear too(y)

New Hat

Decided recently that I wanted a new fedora with the Raiders turn but wanted to shape it myself, so to that end I bought an open crowned Junior from Advintage, ( as Ive said before, great quality for less than £50,) and by following John Penman`s excellent tutorial on youtube this is the result. I`m quite happy with the pinch and bash, wish I`d given it a more obvious turn though.

The direct sunlight is giving it a greenish look. Its the hat I wore for comic con and its actually a deep brown colour as can be seen in the pic above with Wife.
 
Looks really good and you cant beat that price. Reworked my SOC fed a bit and im much happier with it.

Hope to get lots of pics at Exeter Comic Con. I'll be sure to post some.

Bought a Christys Adventurer. Learned an important lesson. When ordering from Christys go one size up. Gorgeous fedora. Too small though. I'll post a few pics anyway.

Christy`s Adventurer

Really disappointed that this doesnt fit. I`d heard mixed opinion of the Christy`s Adventurer, and was pleasantly surprised by the overall quality of it. Christy`s sizing is rubbish though.

I have a Christys Adventurer and Advintage recommended to order a size up. Funny thing is it is slightly big but fit fine after a couple hat strips behind the band. I have noticed size variations in most production hats to include the Henry, Harrison, Adventurer, and Akubra.
