: I'm planning on buying an Indy fedora replica (not made by Herbert Johnson seeing as I only have about $90) and there are some things I need to know.
: 1. what is the most accurate replica for my price range?
: 2. How does it stack up against the Herbert Johnson original?
: 3. Can you get a fedora wet? Like as in wear it during a rain storm?
: 4. What was the size of the crown on the HJ post-bashing?
: 5. What was the brim size?
: 6. Is the 554 official Indiana Jones hat the same as the style 036 on the website http://www.millerhats.com/indiana.html? They have different names but they have very similar stats.
: I appreciate any help you guys can provide, It will greatly determine my hat selection.
I made the mistake of getting my miller wet and the damned thing shrank a full size and developed a definite taper.Please extend your budget,check out Peter Bros,if you get the Patterson you will never need another hat
