: 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)

After you paid shipping, handling, and custom charges to the US, was the HJ hat still $265 after the smoke cleared? I thought the $265 was the cost at the store, and without all the goodies they tend to tag on purchases to get it into our hands? I'm curious. Regards. Michaelson
