In Reply to: Fedora help, please... posted by JuggleEwok on June 23, 2000 at 14:48:03:
: All right, after all these months, I've finally decided on a fedora... I'll go with the peterbros custom fedora. Now, I want one to get as close to the Raiders look as possible, so for you fedora gurus out there, what various dimensions/options/etc. should I ask for? Also, my hat size is 7 5/8, so do any of the dimensions need to be modified to make it look better for my head size? Thanks for your help.
Its not the years, its the...oh, never mind. Yeah, my Peters Brothers
"bullitproof" Indy hat is:
5 7/8" crown
2 7/8"x 2 3/4 brim
1 1/2" ribbon
mink brown
It has a red satin liner and a 2" wide leather sweatband. I laid a steam iron on the brim to relax the downward pitch a bit and teapot
steamed the front so I could put a harder pinch on it, but thats
about it. Call or e-mail Joe. He's very helpful. E-mail me personly
if you like. Good luck.
Cheers!
