Indiana Jones™ - Crushable Wool (5/5) Sep 26, 2008 Traci N.
  I Love the hat and found your company very easy to deal with!
Nice hat (5/5) Oct 17, 2009 Anonymous
  Bought this hat for myself for rainy cold days. We've been having alot of them this fall, so I have worn it quite a bit. The wool is thicnker than other "crushable" hats I've worn but the hat is very comfortable and is holding it's shape quite nicely. It does not look quite the color of the true Indiana Jones hat in te movies, but it's close enough for me. Overall I'm very happy with my purchase.
Just right (5/5) Jul 21, 2009 Scott McCown Oakman AL US
  I bought this hat for a dual purpose.

1. I needed an inexpensive hat for a costume. Although the color is darker than Indies fedora. The hat completed the costume.

2. I wanted a crushable fedora that I could take on vacation, wear in wet / cold weather to keep my head dry. I made a great purchase.

I took this hat on vacation and folks kept asking me where I bought it. I wore it while touring Mammoth Cave Nat Pk, KY (USA) as well as Cades Cove and Newfound Gap in the Great Smokey Mtn Nat Pk, TN (USA).

Thanks!
variable felt thickness (3/5) Jan 27, 2010 anonymous Ar US
  The thickness of the felt was not consistent in the hat I received. There were dimples on the crown; however I was able to remove them with a steam application using my espresso machine. The crown is not as high as it appears in the pictures - and this was a key reason that I purchased this model over the "Ford" crushable. Also, the hat does come a bit large, but this is easily fixed with added cloth in the inner hat band. Service from Village Hats was great - timely and in good condition. Resists light rain well. Overall, a good value serviceable hat.

Some Issues (3/5) Jan 8, 2010 Alan AZ US
  The Hat seams serviceable; however, compared to the "Ford" model, the material is thinner overall and seems less sturdy. Additionally, it is less dense in some spots compared to others, which causes wrinkling. I had to steam out some wrinkled spots.
Regarding style, I was disappointed that the crown is not as tall as the picture suggests - a main reason why I purchased the hat after ordering the "Ford" model (I wanted a crushable version of an old high-crown Stetson I lost).
The hat has not been exposed to wet weather yet, so no comment about that.
Best Hat Ever for me (5/5) Dec 27, 2009 Dado M Sylmar CA US
  Just perfect. Size not as big as a cowboy hat and a cap or a fedora would have been too small for me. Great looking outback and genuine-looking Dr. Jones hat. The only thing missing is the leather tie that holds down the hat to your head just below your chin so it won't get blown by the wind.
That's a good hat, but... (2/5) Sep 11, 2008 Luca Papale Caserta CE IT
 
I'm almost sorry to write a 2 stars rewiew for this hat, but I have to say that this is not what I expected. Nevertheless, there are some positive things about it that I'd like to point out.

First: THIS IS A GOOD HAT. Very nice style, comfortable, warm.

Second: the service il SUPERBE. The hat arrived within a tenday, and Villagehatshop really has the best prices (the same hat is slightly more expensive in some others sites so, if you have to choose, choose Villagehat: it's more honest, IMHO)

Third: anyway, this is a good Indy's fedora -seen from afar, and here come the negative part.

In fact, if you analize it well, you will notice that the hat is not too similar to the original one. The color is too dark, a chocolate brown compared to the sable of the movie. The ribbon should be almost black: this one is a purplish brown. The crown is too low, the pinch is unexistent. The fact that the hat is made with packable wool makes it impossible to reshape the hat as you like (very elastic).

So, here's my judgement: if you want a good fedora and you're not a fanatic, buy it. But if you want the real McCoy, you should look elsewhere.

NOTE: I also bought the fur felt version. Nicer, but it still has some imperfections.
Perfect hat for Colorado (5/5) Jan 12, 2008 Rosie Wright Cedaredge Co US
  Love this hat. I was looking for a hat I could give some individuality to. It has such a wonderful soft crown...so I'm able to push the creases out and create a dome shape, enabling me to pull the hat down low on my head. Perfect hat for staying warm and keeping the winter sunshine off your face....plus, it looks really sexy on a woman...lots compliments.
PERFECT (5/5) Aug 23, 2010 william rentz Nocatee FL US
  I just received my hat via UPS, took it out of the box it fit perfectly, loved the look too. It was exactly what I wanted. I would give it 10 stars if I could !
Indiana Jones Crushable Wool (4/5) Apr 16, 2008 Buddy Combs Lexington KY US
  Was purchased for my nephew and he loves it. So did his parents, once he received the package and saw the hat he wanted to get his hair cut. He had enough lenght that he was eligable for Lock of Love. His parents are so happy now that he has a normal cut and wears the hat at all times. The only thing he is missing is the whip and well at his age that is not a good idea.
