I've come to this site looking for info for my 6 year old son and now I've been slightly bitten by the bug. As the title of this thread says, if you could keep or have only one fedora, which would it be? I don't have one yet, and I'm partial to Raiders so all answers would be helpful. Thanks.

Are you looking for just styles? Or manufacturers as well?

Well, what I would like to know is if there was a strange reason you had to get rid of all your hats but one, which one would you keep and why? I would guess most people would keep their favorite and I would like to know why it is your favorite.

I would get an AB/Penman, whichever one can do the best Raiders bash.

I have a split decision. One I would want to keep is a custom Penman, CS style, but in sahara that my fiancee bought for me as a gift. Then, I would also have to keep my Adventurebilt Deluxe, as it is the finest hat I own.

Like Nick, I'm caught with two great hats.....My AB from Steve Delk is stunning..An absolute dream of a hat, but then, so is the custom John Penman Train hat from Crusade I own now...
Given a choice of only one, I'd probably have to chose the AB, simply because getting another would be harder than ordering from John again...BUT, in terms of which I LOVE more, my heart is with my Penman...
I'd say that.

I don't know if this makes any difference but I saw ( I believe on the bonus DVD in the Crystal Skull special edition ) Harrison Ford speaking about the "Hat Fitting" for the CS and he said it looked good, had good body and was probably his personal favorite of all the Indy hats.
Being an everyday hat wearing person myself I think the CS style has the cleanest shape.
Enough wear and tear any of them will look like a Raiders. lol...
As far as who to buy from, Mr. Penman sure makes a nice hat for a reasonable price.

Thanks for the replys everyone. I've looked at some of the hat sites(and prices) and Mr. Penman's look great and seem to have a lot of positive feedback so now I have to start saving my pennies.
Now it's off to the jacket section to start a similar thread.

The best hat I have is my Penman Raiders, so I'd definitely keep that one!

Hands down, my Penman Raiders. Absolutely the finest hat I've ever owned! Had mine since the Spring and it feels like an extension of me now.

I dont know... Ive owned a few Indy hats over the years but my too absolute keepers are my Rabbit Raiders AB and my Schubert SoC. Both irreplaceable and both great.
