Indiana Jones Akubra Adventurer Unboxing | David Morgan

[@ishhodcollins5220]

I've seen 3 Indy movies in theaters. I appreciate your video sir!

[@corneliuscrewe677]

I’ve got a very similar Akubra Federation IV in grey, it’s my go to outdoor hat. I didn’t have any idea what “the turn” was when I bashed it, but I ended up doing just that by accident. It’s taken on it’s own unique version of the Cairo hat after years of wearing it out in the wild. Great hats. Just recently got myself an Akubra Snowy River , really loving that one, too.

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

Odd thing about the bash. I barely found out myself about 7 years ago. I was reading on line. Good to hear!

[@chewie211171]

This is a great hat from akubra, great for any occasion, and, for Indy cosplay.

[@scottmouse1921]

Once you start feeling how the Felt loosens up, and shapes it is really interesting. I own a few Akubra hats. Got an old "Snowy River" that looks completely different then what was sold. Changed the shape many times. Distressed it to add character, gross grain band ect. The thing I like about this brand above many others is the fact Akubra handles weather very well. Pouring rain isn't a huge issue unlike the Average Steston. Imagine a cowboy hat not being able to handle soaking rains?! Cool thing is it will get more character with age so Wear it hard!

use a better steamer...like something that boils water...need alot of steam...makes all the creases so much smoother

[@Bert-xi1dn]

In fact, no steam is being used at all. It’s vapour. Difference being that steam is at boiling temperature (you wouldn’t want that on you face). Having said that, for the inexperienced like me vapour is probably a better way to go. I think Akubra in fact recommends shaping the hat when it’s a bit moist and leave working with steam to the pro’s.

Love the story and the video. Kuddos.

[@JamieEvansBooks]

Keep up the great work! Love the Indy videos! :)

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I have quite a few Indy videos in production (editing) and I also have Star Wars and Star Trek videos coming as well.

[@gobigrey9352]

Hats have always been important to me. I remember spending $500 on a hat when I was making $9/hr. These days I mostly make my own hats or buy vintage and restore/refurb.

[@caleblandin7601]

Would you have a website where you sell refurbished and vintage hats?

[@gobigrey9352]

@@caleblandin7601 I only make them for myself right now.

Another great vid! Love indy!

Very cool!

Thank you1

[@Ravenwood1936]

Oo nice hat! The hat in my profile pic is akubra as well for my toht Cosplay

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I have been playing with since that video and I think it looks better now.

[@vargo911]

I own the exact same fedora from the same place. You can also have them bash it for you. I love the hat it has more of a last crusade look then the other previous movies hats. On a side note I like your video I like the music you play but sometimes it's a little distracting when I'm trying to hear you speak so you may have to at least turn it down a little bit or none at all. Overall nice video 👍👍

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

thanks for the comments. I'll keep the music in mind. Please share the videos if you can. thank you again

[@yoshi6094]

Thnx great vid

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

Thank you!

[@DOUBLEJ-km7kk]

dude ! that dent out of the box is irritating. how did you not notice it ?

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I guess I was too busy filming.

An original "Indiana Jones" hat is a brazilian hat by Cury

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I remember seeing this on Indy Gear last year: "At the core of the Poet was a high-quality rabbit felt from Cury, a hat factory out of Brazil. Cury would ship raw felt bodies to Herbert Johnson where they would then go through the precise, old-world method of creating a finely crafted top-shelf fedora..." "...They stopped using Cury as a source of their felt for the Poet and began using another felt supplier of lower quality." thanks for the info!

[@jjmaciasart535]

Sorry to be so honest, but that way of modeling a Fedora is not correct. Not only the way to do it but also the end result.

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I've done more work on it since. Maybe I'll do another video. thanks for the honesty.

Background music from?

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I used various tracks from Epidemic Sound. Just trying to get that Indiana Jones vibe going.

[@YakubibnEsau]

Unfortunately, Akubra isn’t making the Adventurer any more:(

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

Well that's sad. Thanks for letting me know.

[@YakubibnEsau]

@@aconstantlyracingmind8343, it really is. I’m glad I got two of them.

@@YakubibnEsau How's the fit? Could you post pics on FB on my A Constantly Racing Mind page>

[@LowPlainsDrifter60]

That particular 'Adventurer' model was made exclusively for David Morgan. Unfortuntaly Akubra has discontinued many models over the last 18 months to slim down production due to the pandemic.

[@YakubibnEsau]

@@LowPlainsDrifter60, the bowler was another! I got one of the last ones in my size.

[@wildwolf8983]

Have someone who knows how to shape hats for you, you are destroying the hat .

[@aconstantlyracingmind8343]

I have reshaped it again after the video.

[@denisenhalyoung4573]

This guy is a douche .... Good thing hat is made well ...... He's killing it ...... Hopefully he or someone else took out his screwups and gave this hat some proper shaping ...... Disgusting .....
