: Jawa trader has a new indy hat. It's supposedly a higher class version of the tear-drop crown wool felt one only it's real fur felt and costs about 85 bucks. I'm shopping for a new fedora and I wonder if anyone knows if it's worth the effort.

: Thanks.

Seriously, I wouldn't waste my money on their hats. The brims are all wrong, along with the crown(it's too short). Instead order yourself an Akubra, either a Bushman, Drover, or Squatter. Have the brims cut down to the right size, and add a ribbon. I guarntee you will be pleased, not only with the superior quality, but also with the "look". You can order one from Hats Direct in Australia in a dark brown for $60.00 plus postage. I think the postage is around $6.00. By the time you add the ribbon and have the brim cut down, it will probaly still be cheaper than the poor replica you are considering. Steve
