Product information "CS Hero MasterPiece Fedora Hat - 100% beaver felt / 100x"
The CS Hero Fedora Hat is indeed something very special, because it is an exact copy of the hat used in the fourth movie. How is that possible? Thanks to Marc Kitter, the creator of the original Fedora hat worn by Harrison Ford in the 4th movie adventure. Back then Marc and his business partner Steve Delk (known as Adventurebilt / Deluxe) had made the hats for the movie absolutely by hand. Since Marc changed his career and left hat making behind, he not only left me, to my greatest gratitude, the original hat blocks on which the film hat was blocked, I also received insight into Marc's special techniques of hat making and know-how about the materials used.
So it is possible that the adVintage CS Hero Fedora can be recreated on the original hat blocks, using the exact beaver felt (texture, special features and color) and using Marc's special hat making techniques. Even the hat lining and sweatband bow are absolutely screen accurate. However, please note that this hat is still made under the "adVintage" brand and with an adVintage sweatband made of the best cowhide leather in the correct color. With your CS Hero Fedora you will receive a numbered certificate of authenticity. A hat box is unfortunately not included any more due to higher buying prices.
About twice as many working hours go into a CS Hero Fedora as into a "normal" handmade adVintage hat made of 100% beaver felt. In addition, I have some materials specially made for this, hence the price difference.
We will discuss the exact hat size and any special requests via eMail as soon as I have received your order.
This fedora will be handcrafted for you on order. The delivery time consists of a lead time (other orders ahead), production (about 10-14 days) and shipping (Germany about 3 days, Europe about 4-7 days, other countries about 20-30 Days).
