I'm thinking of selling my very special Adventurebilt Indy hat - made from a vintage (1926?) "mercury felt" hat body that Steve Delk had litteraly only a handful of. It's a size 59. Perfect condition. Bashed by me in the Raiders style (some folks may remember a photo tutorial I once put together - well this is the hat!). Due to the age of the felt, this hat is practically taper proof! It's also one of only about 6 or seven that Steve made. I will only let this go for a good price as it is basically irreplaceable. I will see about putting up some pics. Or I can email them to interested parties.

Yes, pictures and a price would be helpful.
Here are a couple of pics from when I first got the hat -at least they show the colour very well. It's a beautiful vintage beaver pure felt. Has the original Adventurebilt staff of Ra liner. I will take some new pics tomorrow - it hasn't changed at all.
Asking price is $700. Will consider offers.

Good thing that it it not my size & I couldn't afford it. I would be scared to wear it.

Nope. Delk no longer gives refunds.
