Herbert Johnson hat bows

I was just reading a few posts WAAY down below and there seems
to be a few strong opinions about the hat's bow. But first a minor
correction, and everyone listen good:

THE HERBERT JOHNSON 'POET' COSTS $265, NOT $300 !!!!

I believe that the "flared" bow is common to British hat style.
And I thought the same thing when I received mine: "Hey! They screwed
up! The bow should be in-line with the ribbon!!!"
Fortunately, there were two other HJ 'Poets' in the box
with which to compare it to. ALL of them had the "flared" bow.
It is a characteristic of that particular hat. And, if you check
out scenes from Raiders, (look CLOSELY) you can see that the bow
is "flared" up. It's difficult to see under some of the lighting
conditions, but on close-up shots it is apparent.
You can also see this in Last Crusade and Temple of Doom, but
the hat changes from the HJ to the Stetson, and so forth. I can
hardly wait for the YIJC tapes to come out, so we can all examine
Mystery of the Blues in detail to see what Harrison is sporting.
(I've only seen it one time: back when it premiered on television)
