lguerra said:Yea i was thinking raiders style , i have a old Akubra that took a beating over the years and i retired it .I was thinking getting a new one of the federation IV or peters brothers, or todds does any one have one of these hats? and how do you like them?
you know i'm with you on todds , a great hat for little price , so screen accurate!! i have two downtowners and my son has one also .Ironclaw said:Todd's makes excellent stuff. I have their old (now discontinued) Uptowner fedora, and I've heard lots of good things about their Downtowner version (Raiders-style, I believe). It's about $80 now, so I would consider getting that and pocketing the change.
you know i'm with you on todds ,
always glad to help. knowing is half the battle . ''go joe" oh wait, wrong site?Ironclaw said:I have you to thank for that, you helped out when I was shopping around for a new fedora after my Dorfman wasn't cutting it anymore.
it comes prebashed , so it is already styled for you .lguerra said:Nice pic, does the todds come oped crown, Or can you shape it your self?

Wow! I can't believe I'm even giving advice now... 2yrs ago, I thought the official Indy Dorfman hats looked exactly like Indy's hat! I was even close to buying one before.
Peters Bros - $205
Akubra Fed IV Deluxe - $182.02
Akubra Fed IV Std - $118.02
Christy's Adventurer - $92.00
Downtowner - $79.95
It's up to you which one you want. Akubra and Christy's are open-crowned hats. Downtowner is pre-bashed. The Peters Bros is custom-made so you can pick a style you like.
If I were to pick from the choices I gave above, it would be the Akubra Fed IV. It's up to you whether you choose the deluxe or standard... with the standard, you'll have change to buy something else (prop, action figure, etc). I'm sure a lot of people here will attest to the FedIV's durability.
