: : : Okay, for those of you curious to know the crown measurements
: : : of an authentic Herbert Johnson, here goes:

: : : I took a yellow plastic (cloth tape measurer) and mesured the crown
: : : on two sides. On the very front center of the crown, the measure went
: : : from where the crown comes out of the brim, to the part where it
: : : creases in at the top, and we're talking strictly height: the
: : : measurement was 4 and 3/4 inches. On the side, starting at the
: : : bottom of the ribbon, the crown measured about 5 and 1/2 inches.
: : : (If you were to punch the inside top of the crown out, you could
: : : easily achieve six inches.
: : : When it arrived, the crown was not bashed in at the front,
: : : but the top was bashed into the standard u-shaped cavity, which
: : : can be seen very well in stills from Raiders where Indy is jumping
: : : from the horse onto the side of the truck. (Can also be seen very
: : : well in raiders where he is in the temple with Satipo and bends down to brush the dust off of the floor (the camera is briefly directly
: : : above them). Any more questions, measurements, etc? Also would be
: : : more than happy to e-mail photos of my "Poet" courtesy of our new
: : : Sony Mavica digital camera. (You get spectacularly well-lit, clear
: : : shots instantly)

: : : -Dale Dassel

: The brim measurements are 2 and 3/4 on the front and back;
: and 2 and 1/2 on the sides (I wrote Mr. Swales a very nice letter
: with specific instructions and I received exactly what I asked for,
: with the exception of a bashed Raiders-style crown)

: -Dale

Dale - Did you ask for thoses brim measurements specifically? I ask because I've also heard the meaurements are 2.75 in front and 2.5 on the back and sides.

Abner - I'm wondering if I should just go with 3 inches all the way around, given Dales measurements.

Thoughts?
