To all,
My post below I think was misunderstood pertaining to the true Indyfans and the original gear. I myself think that if you can afford the original (very expensive) gear, then that is where any fan would want to start. Keep in mind that this only my opinion and I am not in any way knocking any of the fans out there or any of the individuals who make or sell replicas of the gear. I do believe and have heard from plenty of the quality of many of the products. I'm sure that the PB hat and the Flightsuits jackets are of extremely good quality (just to name a couple of examples) and are a match for the originals in many ways. I think its great that someone would want a PB simply because it looks better than many HJ hats and sure costs alot less and I'm sure I will get one down the road, but I just think that if HF wore a HJ ,then that is where my collection should start (providing you can afford it). I have nothing but love for all of my fellow Indy collectors out there and would NEVER say that you are not a TRUE fan unless you own a HJ hat or the rest of the original gear, but the HJ hat IS THE INDY HAT!! I hope I didn't press any wrong buttons as I do love the forum and all of the reliable info I get from it and the joy of relating to a broad range of Indy fans from around the globe. If it were not for the Indy sites, I would have no gear at all simply because I had no idea the replicas were even available. I would like to publicly express my admiration for all who have helped me over the last several months and hope to vindicate myself of my previous posting. I know a fan is a fan reqardless of what gear he/she has. I hope we can have peace in our time.
