: : : : : I guess the hats are the exact oppisite of the films!! :)
: : : : : Adventurously,
: : : : : Ulla

: : : : I'll second that opinion. I have a HJ hat, and I've tried on the ark and the temple. I think the temple is more accurate. Just make sure you pull the feathers out right away, hehe.
: : : : And about ToD, I think it's pretty damn good. I agree Willie makes a lot of noise though. "Biggest trouble with her is the noise". You must consider that she was the only Indy gal dragged kicking and screaming into Indy's adventures. The other ones went willingly.
: : : : And it had the incredibly cool and understated Capt. Blumburtt!!
: : : : See ya! Capt. DeWayne Blumburtt

: : :
: : : I'll THIRD that!! Gee, if I were Willie, I would follow Indy to my EXECUTION! Sorry I've been complaining about "Temple" on the forum so much. I do admit, it seems that I like the movie MORE every time I watch it!
: : : Adventurously, YOU HAVE A HERBERT JOHNSON? WWWOOOOWWWW!!!
: : : Ulla

: : : (what's WITH those feathers? I noticed those and had a desire to ask the hat seller if I could get some $ off for NOT taking them!)
: : : no pheasant hunting derbys for me!!

: : Yes Ulla, I am lucky enough to have a Herbert Johnson!! As good as all the other hats out there look( I dont mean to imply that I don't like the Stetson, I do, I almost bought a temple and I still might after I get my remaining Indy items ) the HJ is amazing looking! Even aside to being an authentic Indy hat, it just looks like a very nice hat. Very gentleman-ly.
: : You could ask the hat salesman your question, but he might charge you extra to not give you the stupid feathers.hehe.
: : See ya! Capt DeWayne Blumburtt

: Are the "measurements" for the HJ the same to the "Temple"? For example, is the brim 2.5 inches in the front? What's the "height" of the crown? It seems that ToD had the highest crown, and that is my favorite (hat :). [sorry, again]
: Adventurously,
: Ulla

I don't know all the specifics, but have you looked on Lugers Fedora Page? There's a link to it from the IndyGear links page(that makes sense). It's all about the hat and tells you how close or how far off each one is, measurements and all.
And don't worry about asking me questions, I like answering them (Assuming thats what your "sorry, again" means) In fact all this talk about my Herbert Johnson makes me wanna go get it out of it's box and wear it for awhile!
One more thing about the HJ...I don't know of any other peoples experiences, but I ordered mine on a Tuesday and recieved it the following Tuesday!! And they were incredibly nice on the phone.
See ya! Capt. DeWayne Blumburtt
