In Reply to: YES! FATHERS DAY! Thanks for the idea, I had forgotten it is this month. I think I will order one too. (nm).. posted by Steve on June 04, 2000 at 13:06:21:

: : : Just received an e-mail from Joe Peters. In my last correspondance with him, I mentioned the fact that I was surprised that he didn't do the dimensional cut, as this was one of the features that gave Indy's fedora that particular look. He has agreed to do this cut for any of us who want it, to the exact specs. He is apparently willing to bend over backward for us, and this is refreshing. My question to all of you is this. Do you feel that Indy's fedora in Raiders had the 2 3/4 by 2 1/2 inch brim? I seem to remember someone thinking that perhaps it was a little larger. Any input would be appreciated! Regards, Steve
