well if i could i definetly would get the downtowner with a smaller crown --- the downtowner was one of the first sold by todd and he said "Indyclone,
Glad you like the hat! I wanted to mention that we have been reblocking the Downtowners to bring the shape much closer to the Uptowners. You have one of the first ones that was not reblocked.Yes, I'd like both hats to conform to the on screen Raiders hat specs. The factory who makes our Downtowners for us didn't quite capture what we wanted. They are now making us new molds based on a much more detailed "blueprint" which I've provided. In the meantime, we are steaming the crowns on our own blocks to reduce them to the size of the Uptowner, which to me, has very good Raiders proportions.
and that is from todd himself --- so if you like the stiff feel of the downtowner and the 99 dollar price point it will be the best choice , but if you want the more looser feel then the uptowner is your choice , i like both of my hats for different reasons the downtowner really looks good on me and has that SoC look to it but the uptowner has more the feel to raiders or even last crusade.
either way you win with todds .
