- In October of 2023, my wife and I travelled to London and Paris for her birthday. I asked her if we could make one stop for me.... a trip to the Swaine Flagship store so I could order a Herbert Johnson Temple Poet in person! This video documents the whole 11 weeks from order to reception!

Beautiful hat! Made to be worn regardless of the cost!
It's wonderful. The more I wear it the more it conforms to my (big) head!
That’s beautiful. I can see the quality. 6 months is crazy!
I’m a retired Grenadier Guards colonel. My No.1 cap was from Herbert Johnson, a lifetime cap.
I’ve another from Gieves and Hawkes, bloody made in Pakistan ! Still 400 pounds!
6 months is typical! I was shocked to get this in less than 3. And such a great hat too!
TOD is my favorite movie. I ordered one of these in February 2023 and my arrived around the end of June. I just sent my Raiders Poet back for cleaning and re-blocking in the Cairo style. I also just ordered the Last Crusade and Dial Of Destiny hats to round out my collection. Congrats on your purchase!
Awesome! I would love to have a full set but I think I would be served up divorce papers shortly thereafter :D
So cool! Having always loved this hat, I just discovered the history of it all this morning, and found your video! Thanks for making it. Now I have to convince my wife that I want this hat!
You are very welcome! I just told my wife this is the last Indy hat I will ever buy :)
Congratulations! That hat looks amazing on you , I ordered my temple poet almost a month ago online. And after seeing you unbox it you have made me even more excited to receive mine. I hope you have many awesome adventures with that hat. Have a great day!
Awesome! I hope they get yours to you as fast as they got me to mine!
Love these kinds of videos
Thank you!
What my HJ was shipped to me in, in 1999, vs. what yours came to you in, is hilarious. (Yours is much better!)
From what I've been reading, HJ has really stepped up their Indy game in the last few years. I'm glad I've gotten to benefit from that.
@MickeyLeeBukowski I can see that. Mine is special because of the time and maker. You however, get a more accurate hat.
Bro! Congratulations! What an amazing hat and really well made video! Truly excellent!
Thanks man! It was a blast to make
Congratulations! That thing looks perfect on you! What a great trip, too. Awesome episode!
Thank you! I love it!
Thanks so much for this video! That hat looks so sharp on you, brother! I've always wanted a Raiders Fedora so I bought a cheap wool felt imposter then shaped it like Raiders w/ a turn to see if I would enjoy wearing a hat out. I love it and get compliments daily! I dont leave home without it! I'm ready to pull the big, expensive trigger on an HJ Raiders w/ a turn. May I ask what the final cost to my home in Florida will be in US dollars? The site only shows pounds.
Thanks for making the video, Ive watched it several times and you pushed me over the edge! Lol Blessings!
Awesome, I'm glad to hear this video helped you decide! The conversion rate changes daily, as you know, but it's probably going to be around $550 all told. Which I know, it's a lot! But if you're going to get one hat... this seems like the way to go!
Thank you!, agreed! Pulling the trigger!
Awesome! This is the best reason to travel to London. One day I hope to get one. 🤠
It was quite an experience! But I was also delirious from just getting off the plane :)
Great hat. Do you have a picture comparing the felt colors between your Advintage, HJ, Steele & Jones, and Screencapped TOD hats? I would love to see the differences. Thanks.
I plan on making a video featuring all 3 of my TOD hats soon! I don't have the S&J one any longer though -- it was just too small for my head so it now has a new home (with a person who doesn't have a giant cranium like me lol)
I got the herbert johnson cairo poet and it was worth every penny.
I can only imagine! They do a great job with all the hats from the films.
I’m surprised you didn’t have anything related to a Scout Trooper in the background of your office.
Not from that angle. I also change the background based on the subject
Too bad you couldn't just take the fedora home from the store. The bash was good and looked good on you.
Yeah i thought so too! Though the more I wear this new one and it gets accustomed to my big head, the better it looks.

I'm definitely done buying hats! I don't think my wife will let me get any more :D
@@MickeyLeeBukowskithat’s me and grail diaries
Can I ask what you think of the color? The stock ToD Poet comes in regular sable, while the others mostly come in deep sable. I’m torn between which to get. The deep sable reads a little red, to me. Just wondering what you think about yours.
I'm happy with it. It's not too far off from my Screencapped. And honestly, of all the hats HJ puts out, the TOD (and Destiny of course) is probably your safest bet for accuracy, since Michelle got to observe one in person when she was working on the hats for "Destiny".
My experience with it in different lighting conditions is that it looks similar to the felt from the film.
Great video! Congrats! I have to ask, which is better - new hat smell or new jacket smell?
Nothing beats new leather!
That's some hat, indeed.
I am very pleased with it!
