I will back Art up on his reply, I trust my felter and I have been there many times and watched the softest beaver fur going into the vat to make the blank.
Yes the price of hat bodies has gone up , but my felter still use's the amounts needed to make the differant hat bodies.

Stoney, great work, love the liner tip, that really adds to the hat. The hat looks really nice, keep up the good work, and be proud of the hats you are making.

Tony, I have another green I am working on, and I mean that thing is soft, just say what crease you want and it seems to fall in there, I will be putting a hat band and bow on tonight or Sunday, it is a nice hat body.

Thank you, I like it also, sort grows on you. I have another green body, that is differant, will try something on it and see how I like it.

That hat he had on in the 60's was a sort small looking brim and crown on him, I just thought I would make a green hat and call it the "Green Hornet" was not trying to make the exact hat he wore, just something we enjoy.

Thanks, I am working on the Dick Tracy hat this weekend, plus I found some small Dick Tracy hat pins, one will go with that hat, the others I will keep and use maybe again, if someone wants one.

Sanded on the Green Hornet last night, it is soft and thin. Should have made this hat to wear on March 17th.
Might have to start on a tan slouch hat pretty soon.

Looking at the photo from the movie of "Fedora" the hat he has on, does look to be a thicker hat body. There is no telling what the folks in the wardrobe dept. did for a hat for Fedora, they may of had a stock western hat, that they cut the brim down some,made a few other mild changes due to the...
What RBH was really trying to inform us was, this black hat is a western weight staple body blank. Meaning it is a few oz. heavier than the dress body hat blanks, alot of people seem to want to say all western hats are real thick, when you have those with alot of wool and rabbit in them , or...
RBH, you are right about the change in the hat by lowering the crown down a little, it looks good on you.
Has anyone that you know of made this hat before? seems that most people want the IJ hat we all seem to see being worn in the IJ movies, I have not seen this hat before, I am sure that...
Thank you Stoney, I had a hard time trying to get a good look at that hat, nver could see a good view of it, I could not decide if the hat had just a keeper on the hatband or bow , I thought in a few parts it looked like it had just a keeper and then I thought I saw a bow,
The thing is if...
Here is what Rusty was asking the "1912" to look like, it is the hat that the young Indy is given in the Last Crusade movie, you only got to see the hat a few times during the early part of the movie. And once Indy was grown in this movie you see him wearing a hat a little differant. The thing I...
Mr Lucky, you don't know how many times that is said to me, people thinking I look like Dennis Hopper, I travel alot and when I go some where, it always upset me, why people were looking at me, then about 8 years ago while at a mall, some one walked up and said, He really like the movies I had...
