This is my new Adventurebilt I got from vintage 68!
It fits great , no way it's a 25 since I am a 24!! I could not wait a year for a new one as I am not that patient! I took a chance on it and it worked out great! The felt feels like nothing I have experienced yet! I would describe it as a silky feel if that makes sense.:D

It looks great on you! I have always said even if you are not a Indy fan, this hat has the 1930's written all over it.

I look forward to seeing more photos of you wearing this fine hat!


By the way do I detect that you have the back of the brim down?
I have found that I really like to wear mine that way.

I can vouch for how excited Indycop was about getting this hat. He was like a little kid waiting for it. lol

Good to see he's so pleased with it now he has it.

Rusty - I agree with you about the brim. I have done that with my yet-to-be-posted Fieldmaster.

Yeah Robin I have also found that my TVA looks better that way [ at least to me] I think it has something to do with the adventure or common work type fedora. I would not dream of having the brim all the way down on my Stratoliner but on these hats it just looks right.

It is exactly the way vintage68 sent it! maybe he will pipe up and say if he styled it or had Steve style it to a certain scene.:D I won't be changing this one around, I like it the way it is!

Looks good, Indycop! I'll join the chorus of those who like the look of a turned down brim on this kind of fedora.

Cheers,

When I ordered mine I just told Steve I want the ROTLA fedora, the turn, center dent and tight pinch. It looks like that is what you have with yours.
Once agian great fedora!!! I know you will enjoy it!!!

So.... now that you have the hat you wanted so much, you can turn your focus toward a 'Stop Staring' dress for me and maybe a work of 'Art' to go with it! <a href="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fwww.smileycentral.com%252F%253Fpartner%253DZSzeb008%255FZNxmk572YYUS%2526i%253D11%252F11%255F4%255F123v%2526feat%253Dprof/page.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://smileys.smileycentral.com/cat/11/11_4_123v.gif" alt="SmileyCentral.com" border="0"><img border="0" src="http://plugin.smileycentral.com/http%253A%252F%252Fimgfarm%252Ecom%252Fimages%252Fnocache%252Ftr%252Ffw%252Fsmiley%252Fsocial%252Egif%253Fi%253D11%252F11_4_123v/image.gif"></a>
