: : 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)

: I agree with Dale. I don't own a HJ, but I do have a Custom Hatter copy of the Indy fedora and it came with the same type of bow as is on the HJ fedora. I kinda like it because it is different than the ones on my Stetsons. Also if you look closely at all three movies, you can notice a variation in the way the bow is constructed, as well as the length of the bow. I don't believe all the bows were the same. And yes I know that this seems really nitpicky, but I thrive on such details. Steve
