: : Hi there, new to Indyfan, but I thought I'd pass along a little info for anyone searching for a Indy Type hat. A local hat shop here in Baltimore has been making Fedoras since the 30's. They have a brown c-dent fedora that's comparable in look and quality to the official Indy hats, and the Stetson's. As with most replica's the crown is not a perfect match, but the color is dead on. And the hats are only $75 to boot. I own one, and it is as close as you can get to a dead ringer of the Indy hat under $100. I've included the url for their site down below.

Their web page states it's a 2 5/8" brim, but nothing about the crown. It does say it's 100% fur felt. Nice looking fedora, and looks well worth investigating more closely. Regards. Michaelson
