Things "exploded" twice, actually. The first (and important) one was long before the film contract came along.
Technically, Art can make a hat that will do as an Indy hat. However, it doesn't seem to be something he likes to do. He can usually smell when things are getting close. I don't...
I think there are a couple of other issues with Steve that we need to keep in mind.
First, the demand for his hats shot up very quickly, at a time when there was NO real competition for that level of Indy hat. What started as a personal project exploded into a business. By the time Oak came...
I know what you mean, but I've discovered that the right wool is not itchy. I'm hoping these will be the of that ilk.
I'm excited about the sweater line, Magnoli. If I were to send you photos of a different cardigan collar, would that level of customization be possible? If not, it doesn't...
I wouldn't worry about the lack of communication from Steve Delk. These days, he seems to be in a "vital communications only" mode. Last time he talked to me, back in September or October, he said he was getting over 200 e-mails a day. No, that's not a typing mistake. With that volume, he...
I made a similar inquiry some months ago. The overwhelming advice was to skip the fedora and go with a homburg. I've got one, and I'm itching to wear it!
I have no experience with Aero, but that price range is on the table, I say try Magnoli Clothiers. Choice of hides, great personal service, made fully custom. If he doesn't have a jacket like the one you want, he'll gladly work with you to get the right design, or mix and match elements of...
Going a little bit country, there, eh? You must have just the right face shape, because it seems every style you try works! Curse you... and your little Dobbs, too. lol
I hope that there is one one waiting for me in NY this June. I'm told yes. I doubt I'll wear it much, but I think it will be a fun item to have around.
Well, I'll tell you... you have barked up the right tree, TDK. The Fed III is great hat, but a little too "one-size-fits-all" in design. But it is basically a factory hat. The Penman, like the AB, takes the same concept that the Fed does, but fine tunes it, and jacks up the quality quotient...
I am the sort that thinks eating with a lid on is rude. However, outdoor situations like that fall into a different category. It's almost like being at a BBQ.
So, from one who is offended by eating with a lid on - You made the right call.
I am a firm believer that bound edges rule over all other brim treatments (or the lack there-of), and specifically wide brim bindings.
However, I am not a totalitarian extremist. Raw edges, welts, whip-stitch, and cavs all have there place and their charms. A nice hat is a nice hat, no...
I must have been very tired this morning that I didn't think of these. :eusa_doh:
They are from Akubra, and might be styles you'd like, both at about $65.
The Stylemaster resembles the current Whippet.
