I had to take a knee from laughter when I clicked this link ...

it is taking everything in my power not to message this guy to tell him that his price is far too low and should be closer to $4,000.000

You know Antony, you should check your ebay settings, it should have the currency set up for Mexican pesos, so it should be around 170 US or so

Heck, they're offering $145/month for 24 months. Why hasn't anyone jumped on this??? It's PRISTINE!

I wonder what color it is? I'm looking for a rich dark brown .

I think the seller is charging extra for the heroic effort it took to write that description.

Do "Indys" come in any color but brown?

Or very good whiskey.

For all the crap contained within that description, I doubt the whiskey is any better than Old Crow.

Despite being pretty expensive at £285 I still think of this as something of a win on ebay. A Steve Delk pure beaver handmade. The hat I really wanted when I put in the order for an Akubra a couple of years ago. Annoying thing is that I never expected to ever get one of these so bought a Penman Everyman which arrived only a couple of weeks ago! Now I have three Indy style brown fedoras from three distinct parts of the market I can definitely feel the difference in quality. Beaver wins hands down I think.

SNAPPED THIS UP FIRST THING THIS AM

In my ongoing quest to obtain thin ribbons from every manufacturer;


I knew it wouldn't last long. I hope the brim is as soft as the crown appears to be.
I figure a can of Bickmore along w/ a good steam & brush & I'll have it g'wine on!

Good looking hat, Rick. What is the model? Looks a lot like my Cav 100 but it came with a hard shell case.

My understanding is that Steve Delk made the Indy hats for the Indiana Jones movies, #2, #3, and #4. John Penman has the "Indy" block from Steve Delk and makes the Adventurebilt line now. I also have an Everyman from John Penman and it's a great hat but a handmade beaver is tops, no question! To have a signed Adventurebilt hat from Steve is a rare gem these days.

I dunno, but a Cav 100 would be fine!

Insane. It's not even that old (relatively speaking of course).

I understand that Steve is still making hats but the backlog of orders is lengthy in the extreme. I couldn't pass on the opportunity when I saw it and the beaver moulds beautifully in the hand.

That's a beauty for sure Rick.
