The Prototype "MD1" - Matt Deckard Apparel Fedora!
Best of luck Matt on your new line. As most here know, Matt knows his vintage like hats and I know he will give you guys a really nice hat. If I were in the market for hat from Matt, I really would not have to know much about it, as I trust his judgement. But that's just me! And I... -

Hat Measurer Tool
Perhaps it will eventually make it to me. I called the carrier, and she knows me and said she would have brought it to my new address,but she did not recall the package. But at this late date, I doubt I will get it. I have had a couple hats lost in the mail over the years, that never turned up... -

Hat Measurer Tool
I think it may come back to you. I went to my paypal, and noticed it gave my old address, so the sizer was sent to my old house, pre divorce. So, what should I do? Or can you put a tracer on it? The people that rent that house, may have just taken it, but I need to know. Was a signature... -

Dyeing a Hat
I don't know of any good way to dye a hat. Years ago, I experimented with an old hat, but boiled it in dye. It was a beaver hat. It worked ok, but when I went to cut the brim, I noticed the dye only abosorbed on the outer part, and was still the same color inside. Just too dense to absorb the... -

Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?
Matt, you are too kind. Thank you. That hat with the taper is an anomaly. My first thought was, they had the back crease too high(supposed to be 4 1/4 inches tall) which showed the front and back taper of this particular block. As most know, most hat blocks have front and back taper, which... -

Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?
I re-read my post, and it came across as a bit strong, towards Matt. I did not mean it as such. So, instead of changing it, I want this post to be a "mea culpa" post. I have just fought this battle over Baron's since last year when the Parade article was published, and then the rest of the... -

Cheaper foreign products and labor lead to decline in hat manufacturing...
I liked the part about, " a cheap grade of hat being turned out" That part is still alive and well. Most factory hats today, are indeed a cheap grade. It is the norm. Apparently as time went on, after that article, something happened that allowed American hatters to offer great... -

Hatters favorite hat
I don't have a pic readily available. But, my fav is a vintage Cavanagh, with Cavanagh edge. Simply one of the best hats I have ever laid my hands on. I don't wear it though. It is stored in moth balls and cedar. A work of art. Fedora -

Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?
Because I want the truth to be known, I have to admit right now that I was wrong with what I said in the above post about there being just 6. I re-read Bernie's email to Mark and it turns out he was at Baron's twice. Here are the excerpts from Bernie's email to me, that was sent to Mark. Now... -

Baron Hollywood Hats as compared to custom?
If I have to, I will post the email that Bernie Pollack sent to me and Mark of Barons. I don't want to, but if I have to in order to get it from the horses mouth I will do so. Mark helped Bernie re-crease the first 6 film hats. That's it. Bernie learned to do it on his own in N.M. and when... -

Adventurebilt order - slipped through the cracks?
Thanks. I was given a heads up on the discussion and finally got back on TFL to at least explain the situation. I was aware of the communication problem, but when you get 983 emails over a weekend and your pc time is limited due to trying to keep your head above water, it can be quite... -

Adventurebilt order - slipped through the cracks?
Yes I agree. And I am an instant gratification guy like many. But with so many great custom hatmakers out there, you can find one that has short lead times. Most of these guys are just starting out though, like John Penman and Brad. As long a they handmake their hats, eventually they too will... -

Adventurebilt order - slipped through the cracks?
Hello old friend!! Long time sir since we spoke. By the way Art, those plain white liners you sent me were used in the film hats. They just colored them for the lighting.(Western Costume used a spray on hair dye!) When I went to Sheldon, thinking he made them, I found out these were European... -

First of all, I am happy to be able to post here again. Thanks to the mods for letting me back on. I understand the frustration of some and to those who have voiced their strong opinons of me, that is your right. The biggest problem I have had, and it affects others, is the overnight...
