    New hat opinions

    Thank you for the high praises from all here. :o In response to the price range ideas suggested above, that is precisely why I made the Camptown straddle the line between the no Beaver hat and the full Beaver custom hat. For the $175.00 price range, my lids are the only ones I know that are...

    Questions for hatters or US hat manufacturers about current business

    Hey there, Just to chime in on the manufacturing side, since my hats are built up at a factory, my factory is a USA local outfit with whom I have a great relationship. My buildup cost, I am sure, is more than if I went overseas with it, but then I would lose my ability to supervise what's...

    Settling estate - what to do with photos?

    Do not dispose of these photos ! There is a great deal of historical value in them as vintage ephemera and as a record of the era of the photos. Write the letter to the nephews to see if they want them and if not the museum route seems great. If nothing else, keep them in your...

    Indiana Jones

    I am very ambivalent about any thought of an Indy replacement, but if I had to choose, Dennis Quaid is a viable choice. Similar look, expressions, very good actor. Possible others Hugh Jackman (good balance of charm and grit) and of course, JerseyJones ! :cheers1: JJ

    The CAMPTOWN GREY HAT COLOR SWATCH POLL !

    Okay, Granite Grey seems to lead the pack here. I will do one more bump to cement the old poll results, and then order my first load of Granite Grey bodies. I think I still may wind up doing the Steel after that one, but we'll see. To all who sent me sizes and measurements for a Grey...

    Camptown Fieldmaster critique

    First and foremost, my thanks to Bob and my other customers on this batch. You were all very patient and understanding and I am pleased that you like your hats. Thanks for the review. As to the hat ribbon they do settle down after a while and are installed a bit tight. My experience with...

    The CAMPTOWN GREY HAT COLOR SWATCH POLL !

    I have yet to determine a hat band, but my inclination is a nice true black or dark carbon grey. As to texture, the samples are not my usual beaver/rabbit blend shell. They are purely color swatches. In my usual body, the texture will be much more uniform and smooth. Thanks ! JJ
