: My Indy "RaIders" (Patterson) PB hat just arrived!
: DEfinitely a thing of beauty and in a total clas by itself.
: It will definitely be my "Dress" hat, and the Akubra Fed and Indy Miller will be by day to day hat.
: I have throughly enjoyed futzing around with ribbon, razors, scissors, rulers, tapes, ribbons, glues, sprays, steamers, needles, thread, etc... Hey some guys build model railways, ships, airplanes, collect stamps, etc...
: Since my day to day life is an adventure and sky-diving and mountain climbing and guns in your face confrontations is like "normal business" for me ....
: "Haberdashery" is a nice, quiet, peaceful, hobby.....
: Peter Brothers get my solid vote for a perfect "out-of-the-box" product.
: I think I've finally found what I need as far as the ultimate "Indy Hat", I don't need to send 300 dollars to Herbert Johnson (HJ) for yet another brown hat.
: I ordered another Akubra Federation in Mid-Grey and I'm definitely thinking about ordering a really Sinister SS Gestapo Mobster Black Fedora from PB.
: But I think once I have gotten the correct Raiders Finished/bound edge grosgrain ribbon in either 1-1/2" or 1-5/8" or 1-3/4" in the perfect dark espresso coffee black-brown...I'll call the Hat saga over
: and move on to finding the the perfect Indy Jacket.
: Thanks for all the great help guys!
