I love the distinction between “the perfect hat” and “my (your) perfect hat.” So important! Love the video man. Been friends with Brian for a while and finally put in an order myself. Looking forward to joining the club!
That looks perfect for you! My favorite of my customs is from Steele and Jones. I’m shorter guy at 5’8 and love custom hatters that take your height and head shape into consideration to make your hat
Nice review! I've purchased 3 items from Brian, all of which have been top notch products! My "grail temple fedora" is an absolute gem and the best hat I've purchased to date.
After watching Retroblasting’s videos about Indy’s fedora I understand that even the film makers had trouble recreating the magic of the Raiders fedora. That is a great looking hat.
It's hard to get a hat like that exported to the UK from the USA coz of customs charges I buy indy fedoras from Herbert Johnson in London and they will do you a bespoke made hat . Just like you mentioned your friend will make it from any movie or scene Herbert Johnson do the same coz I have ordered a hat from them and it's from the jungle and Cairo scenes from raiders .
Since Dan is pretty tall, 6'9, I used a 6" block instead of the 5.5" I typically use. As for the brim, I went with 3" front and rear and roughly 2 5/8" on the sides.
