Very cool Marathon. The font and logo on the liner sure looks old. Maybe you can date it by the use of the "Aridex" shown on the red tag?
Huh? Why can't you have the best of both worlds?
It was definitely intentional. For anyone who doesn't already know, it's known as "the turn" among Indiana Jones hat fans. Placing the hat on your head and turning it so that the bow is forward of your left ear causes the brim to deform, which is part of the now iconic look of Indy's fedora in Raiders of the Lost Ark.The way this hat was creased I can have one or the other, but not both. It was creased somewhat sideways - and it appears quite intentional.

So, I have a question that has been on my mind for quite some time of late. Is it possible to reblock a fur felt hat to get more crown height (yes, sacrificing brim width) if said hat has a bound brim? I really would like to get a little more height from one of my lids, but its difficult to see how that might be accomplished without taking the whole thing down to bare bones. At which point it might be better just to buy a new one. Any thoughts?
Hi, can anyone tell me where to buy nutria felt bodies as I can't seem to find any places that do. Any help would be great.
I would try FEPSA if I wanted a new full nutria body - they might have them
I inherited this hat from my mother - doubt my Dad wore it All I know is the tag inside the hat says: Original Ischler Hut and Mod: Mallnitz. Does anyone know the approximate year it was sold, a rough value etc
