Mine's shipping Saturday as well.:D I suppose we'll see who gets theirs first. I believe he is shipping through RedEx now. Should be faster than UPS for sure.
Joy!
Cheers!

Fantastic News! Ken has informed me that he has finished my Metropolitan and will be shipping it out soon. Ohhh, I can't wait to see it. this is going to be one lone week next week. Of course this has been the best news I've had all week.
Ken has also let me know that he is beginning to fill...
The Dimensional Cut was fairly easy to do. I had followed the instructions on cutting a Dinensional Brim from the Tutorial over at Indy Gear and the the tutorial that Johndy had put out. Carefully marking out the measurements on the sides & front and then tapering the measurements in small...
Man, I'd love to see that lid in action. There are plenty of Bogart images to reference for the hat right on the Golden Age hats page.

I think the 5 1/2" crown with the 2 3/8" brim...
Thanks Dean! I had received the hat open crowned & uncut so the dimensional cut was my handy work. Using a tailors chalk helped greatly. While cutting with very sharp shears I was sweating it out.

Nothing to laugh at. I think that was the very method that Prairie Jones over at COW used for his Fed. I believe there were a couple of others that used a small pencil and clothespins as well. For me I found a liberal amount of steam and a good tweak with the fingers did the trick. Then it was a...
I read some concern about being able to get that tight pinch in the crown of a Fieldmaster. If you look at my Fieldmaster that I have posted here on FL and over at COW you'll see it has a rather tight razor pinch to it. It's not hard at all to acheive the proper pinch, it just takes a little...
Thank you for posting Marcelles Metropolitan. It is a lovely looking lid. Makes me desire mine even more. This is a great place for hat lovers in general, and lovers ov vintage style. It is a haven of good eggs.
Congratulations!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

They had my favorite "The Quiet Man". I like the one song that they sing when a group of the fillave men were bringing over the furnature. I had found the lyrics but I can't seem to find the song on any CD. It isn't even on the soundtrack. Bummer.

It's supposed to hit 107¬? here to day and be over 100¬? until next Tuesday. Time to hit the coast and soak in the Pacific to cool off. Autum cannot get here in my neck of the woods soon enough for my liking.
Cheers!

Basically, as long as they don't botch up the screenplay and make it a shoot fest it should be alright. Time have changed so the theme of the message will be a tad different, but I think the core story should remain the same and keep the ramped-up special FX to a minimum. Then and only then will...
