    List of Custom, made-to-order, Fur Felt Fedora hatmakers and hatters

    Depends on what you're looking for really, but let me give you my opinions on the custom hatters I've purchased from (in no particular order). John Penman/Penman Hats. John made my first custom lid. He exemplifies the word craftsman. Although he is well known as a maker of Indiana Jones...

    Musician's hats

    I thought I saw binding on it? My first thought was Optimo because it looked like it had a bit of taper at the top, and I couldn't place the color to anything like Winchester makes....

    Possible? Sure. Will the results be satisfactory? Depends on your definition of satisfactory. I would say it's not really worth the trouble. The pre-creased hats are generally shorter to begin with. I believe Mr. Dean popped out one of the Hatco Stratoliners with a hatshaper IIRC....

    Beaver X Question

    No, Xs don't denote 10%, for example, the 7x clear beaver was all beaver. Nobody knows what the exact mix is.

    A fed won't do that without being reflanged. The feds have very little flange in the brim as it is.

    Open Crown Stetsons: A Call (Plea) to Retailers!!

    Mr. Deckard graciously offered to sent me a new Premiere Strat in the correct Royal Deluxe felt, after he saw my post here saying it had tapered, and the pics with the "Royal" sweat. Awaiting its arrival....

    At what weather temp is it time to put fur felt to sleep for the summer?

    I wore a felt hat in summer in southern China one time...well, one trip. Wore my Resistol OR clone walking through Antietam in June. I didn't see a thermometer, but both places were hot. At a certain point, hot is just going to be hot. I do have some good straws now though, so I'm less...

    Yah, apparently Matt was away from the factory when the wrong hats were used. My black strat was one of those hats, making the "Royal Stetson" die on the sweat not a misprint...they just used the wrong hat bodies. Matt has graciously offered me a replacement, so I'm eager to see what comes in.
