: I got my HJ hat about six months ago and I love it. It looks identical, I mean entirely IDENTICAL to the hat Indy wore in Crusade in Donovan's office. Even the label and lining on the inside are exactly the same. It doesn't look as much like the one in Raiders because Raiders was made nearly 20 years ago, Crusade was made most recently so it only makes sense that it would look more like the Crusade hat because the hatmaker is probably reverting back to how he made them for Crusade. I don't know why everybody is always so suspicious of HJ. I mean HJ hatters is like one of the if not the nicest place to buy a fedora. I dont know why there are some wierd pics of HJs out there maybe they were damaged or fakes even, all I know is is that the one I have looks EXACTLY like the hat in Crusade and I bet if anybody out there orders one it will also look exactly like it also. In Matt Walker's opinion HJ RULES!!!!!!! Oh by the way I just ordered a David Morgan Whip.

It's not that I don't like the HJ...I will eventually look into getting an HJ no matter what, because it is the REAL THING. But for now I want a hat that looks like the Raiders hat...and if the Gary White Fedora comes closer, then I will probably get one of those first. The pics I have seen at Indy gear of your hat are very nice indeed, but recent posts about problems with the company that deals with the HJ, and lack of inventory, plus a long, long wait, have made me leery of the HJ. I'm sure it is a very nice hat, and as I said, I am eventually gonna buy one, but what I really want is the Raiders hat, that's why I wanted to know if the Custom Hatter Fedora was closer, or if the HJ was etc. If you own the HJ and say it is similar to the crusade hat...than I am not gonna buy that one right now.
Anyway, I do love the look of the HJs I have seen (most of them), and I don't hate them...just not interested right now.
