Falcon Park Hattery

[Benzadmiral]

He's resizing my "Crossover," as he calls it, and rebashing it into the style you see on his "Announcements" page. I hope I can get to wear it some before the horror of The Swamp's summer, aka March to December, gets its nasty little teeth into me.

Love the straight sided no taper crown on that hat!

Sorry for the late commentary but that is a fantastic hat!:eusa_clap

 

[Atticus Finch]

That is basically what I'm waiting for, 6" open crown, 2-5/8" (I think) bound brim, wind string, 4-ligne ribbon. Only difference is that mine will have a Borsalino-type bow rather than an Open Road-type bow.

So, I should think so!

...and you are right. Parker replied that he could make an OR clone, and I've asked for two samples of FP's felt (Sahara and Natural) and ribbon. I think I'm on the way to my first real custom hat!

Atticus, his "Sahara" is a very camel's-hair-blazer color -- it's the one I went with also. In the "Announcements" page picture, it looks more orange-ish than it does in real life.

That Natural in 100% beaver from Winchester is a NICE color. That is what Major Mike made my first custom fedora out of = the Field & Stream Tribute (FST).

Ht24,that's good news.Looking forward to seeing your hat.Ordered mine right after yours so hopefully mines not to far behind.

Got some felt samples from Parker yesterday and I agree with you. I think my choice is going to be 100% beaver in natural.

BTW, have you noticed any significant shrinkage in your FST? I'm trying to decide what size to request. Having never owned a 100% hat, I'm not sure how much to expect it to shrink with normal wear...if any.

I wrote a couple days ago for an update and didn't hear anything, so with any luck that means it's about to be sent or is in the mail....

Hardly any at all AF. I guess it more depends on the sweatband drawing up than anything. With customs, I order true to my size = 7 5/8, 24", 61cm & Long Oval. That is if the hatter doesn't have a conformer type shape of my noggin. HTH

I love my FP silver belly. It has a silver tone to it instead of a light beige that so meany have. I must say that I've never seen a hat like yours. Teach you have a very nice one of a kind hat. I'm waiting to see what else you've designed.

 

[bowlerman]

Hey Teach! That looks great!!! Congrats. I saw [probably many of you did as well] a homburg on Ebay several months ago with a very similar color scheme and it really caught my eye. Looks good enough to eat... or drink!

 

[DOGMAN]

Ht24,I like it!

 

[Historyteach24]

Thanks guys. Job my second one should be in soon I actually copied a scheme in that one the julep in his site with a diamond crown

 

[Blackthorn]

Gorgeous hat, Teach! Mine arrived today too, delivered to my wife's work address. I'm sitting here tapping my foot waiting for her to get home!!!

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Teach, very nice, it looks great, Blackthorn now you got me tapping whilst I wait for pics.......
