I got an e-mail from Tony this evening. I didn't think he'd put this up here, so I thought I'd better.
Tony has a new website.

There are some sharp looking lids there, but check out the one on the pricing page. ;)
I e-mailed Tony back to let him know...
When I get it creased this weekend, I will definitely put up some pictures. And thank you, I'm flattered. I'm really quite new and unskilled at it, but I've been trying to mimic some of the hat creasing gurus here.
I'm sorry to hear you were sick. You missed a true slice of life. :D
Ahhhh, no. :o I haven't decided if I want a knockout diamond like Kiltie's

or a knockout teardrop like Jimmy's.

I'm afraid if I do the diamond, the Chief will...
rrog, the Campdraft just arrived less than an hour ago. My pic should help you decide. Both are sharp looking hats, but for a dress hat my choice would be the moonstone Fed. That said, I know the gray Campdraft is going to get a lot of noggin top time.
By the way, we missed you in Monteagle.
I have two OR's and a Resistol, but none of them have fedora creases. They all came to me with cattleman creases. Even though they're all 60's hats and all are only 3X felt, I have a hard time bringing myself to change the bash on vintage hats. I may be a bit weird, but I think they should...
I've got a mid brown coming subject to the dreaded EA 3 month wait, and then I'll have a complete collection of Campdrafts in all the current colors. Does it show that I really like the Campdraft? I wear them more than any of my other hats, and this gray one will get a lot of use too.
Here ya go. I took a quick pic next to my moonstone Fed Dlx IV. The couch they're sitting on is light gray also. The Campdraft definitely has more blue in it, but that's good with me. I like it, and it's a Campdraft. Did I say that before?
I opened the front door just now to go out for the mail, and there was a Hattery box leaning against the step. Guess what was in it? Right, my mid gray Campdraft! It's sitting on my noggin, replacing the tawny Campdraft that was there already, and it fits just fine. Stiff as a new Akubra, but it...
Nice, Mr. P. It looks a little darker than I expected it to also, but it's gray. Mine is on its way but hasn't found it's way home either as Carter's. I agree with Jim that some daylight pics would be nice to wet my appetite if you have an opportunity.
The way that hat changes color from one kind of light to another amazes me. When I first saw the mid-brown I didn't really like it, but now I've got one ordered thanks to Indycop.
Looks good, Rusty, but how do you get someone to buy a hat for you? Inquiring minds want to know. :D
