Oh! And so sorry to crowd the thread though definitely want to credit Darrell and Busted Hats on the internal work here. Great look and feel. I wish all the pictures wouldn't have loaded sideways and upside down though, hah!

Hello Ian, I am happy to hear that you like your new hat, this was a first for me, I have made a lot of the Indiana Jones Raiders style fedoras and this is the first time that anyone has requested the off center bash. I did do a lot of research on the off center bash for your fedora, I was able to get in touch with Michelle at Herbert Johnson, she is the Master Hatter, she provided the information on how to do the Raiders bash off center so I could get the bash that you wanted on the Indiana Jones Pan Am Clipper aircraft Fedora. Doing the bash off center may sound easy to do, however it is not as easy as it might sound, the felt is blocked on a regular oval and then bashed off center. I discovered a lot working with Ian on the hat that he wanted. Ian's fedora was made with a FEPSA 100% rabbit 130G weight hat blank. I recently purchased a few sable color 115G weight felts to use for Indiana Jones Raiders style fedoras. Thank you Ian, I really appreciate your love for the Indiana Jones Fedoras and your help in the creation of your new fedora. Contact me if you want another hat made, take care and have a Great Week, Darrell

Hello Fedora Fans,

Well it took me a few days to get finished but I have a website now and I checked it out in Google and Microsoft Edge, I enter the web address in the top of the page, it might be hard to find the page since it just went active. Here is the web address, let me know what you think.

Do you plan on adding ecommerce?

I never thought about that, I just decided to put up a simple website with an email address so people could contact me if they were interested in having a hat made. I posted links on Instagram, LinkedIn, and FaceBook. Setting up the website and getting it posted took me a couple of days. Do you have any suggestion?

Do you have any suggestion?

I know I prefer a section with items for sale (multiple pictures of models available)

as well as a buy it now button

If you leave it as is, I'd add a "To order your custom hat contact me at this email"

Or something more than just listing your email
