: : 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

Um, there was no "customs fee" on delivery as there was with
the jacket. I'm reading from the receipt:

1) HERBERT JOHNSON. HATS MENS
1 165.00 EACH 140.43

2) EXPORT PPI
1 20.00 EACH 20.00

Total goods 160.43


And that's all in Pounds, mind you. Hope it helps.
