: : To All Indy Fans:
: : I know that the Herbert Johnson is the ultimate Indy hat. Well,
: : since I know that in some areas we're in the dark about, so I thought,
: : since I just orderd my Poet today I may say my ways in dealing with
: : Mr. Johnson(or Mr. Swales). One thing is that Mr. Swales only visists
: : the shop Wednesday and Friday. Otherwise, he's making hats. Now, the
: : thing you want is a POET. Not a McAlpine. The McAlpine is not the
: : totally authenic hat...it's the Poet. The otherthing is you must
: : convert you head size into the euro standard. Meaning, my head
: : size is 7 1/4. Well, when I told them that, they though I was speaking
: : Greek. They are going to ask for your head size in centimeters. So,
: : if you head size is 7 1/8, your hat size to them will be 57. If your
: : head size is 7 1/4, your hat size is 59. Another thing to say is that
: : the day I orderd mine is 11/11/99. They told me that it would not be
: : until three or four weeks until the Poets came in, yet...they were
: : expecting them soon(they're out of McAlpines, too.). The color you
: : want is sable, which they told me is a dark tan. You can get you
: : initials in the hat if you want; it's free. The man accepts credit
: : cards. Please also take into consideration that London is not on
: : our same time schedule(duh)so you can't call them when you get home
: : from work(duh). The total cost of the hat with shipping and
: : handeling and customs, Iam told, is 300 smackers. From what people
: : say, it's worth it. Hope this helps you all. Will write when more when I get my hat.
