: : I read in the vaults that the HJ fedora doesn't come with the Petersham ribbon anymore, but a polyester grosgrain instead. Does anybody know if this is still the case?

: : Adios,

: You should be able to get the right ribbon now-Mr. Swales had a company in Spain reproduce it from a small scrap he had left.

Thanks for the info. I also read that the HJ's crown is not the same height as the one in Raiders, and that the contrast between the ribbon and the felt is not as great as the hat in the film. Do you know if either of these statements are true? I'm thinking of purchasing an HJ soon, so I'm trying to determine if it is a close match to the one in Raiders.

Many thanks,

Satipo
