The Prototype "MD1" - Matt Deckard Apparel Fedora!

[J.J. Gittes]

That looks spectacular!:eusa_clap Good luck with the ribbon searching. Can you diverge measurements or is it top secret?

Defiantly want to get one when they come out!

 

[Belegnole]

Looking good Matt....I like the proportions.

I'm diggin' the lid in the second shot, the one that's shown atop your noggin.

Would it be disclosing too much to tell, if not who will be making the hats, at least what type of felt you'll be using, and the price point(s) you're aiming for?

 

[kaosharper1]

In addition to measurements, will it be open crowned?

 

[Fletch]

So far...so good! :eusa_clap

Suggestion: make the test run in a silverbelly shade. They'll fly off the shelves.

 

[scottyrocks]

Thats a beautifully proportioned, full-bodied looking hat. It looks like it has substance to it. I like it a lot.

 

[Torpedo]

Looking good, looking good.

I prefer the second so far, although the first with the thinner ribbon would probably be a serious contender once you take better photos.

I do not know if you can disclose anything at this stage... I hope at least something.

That second photo looks fantastic, Matt--glad to see a bound brim. I second Fletch's suggestion; a silverbelly or similarly light color (a pearl gray, perhaps?) will be very popular...

Nice proportions on this one, Matt. I like the color and the coordinated ribbon and binding.

I'd love to see this in a rust colored felt as well. Just dreaming.

 

[handlebar bart]

Wow I like the one on your noodle just how it is, coloring especially.:eusa_clap

 

[RBH]

That looks very nice.
I like the bound edge.

The pearl gray is a good suggestion.

 

[DOUGLAS]

Nicely done Matt. The The open crown is a big plus for those who like to hand shape their hats themselves. 5-1/2" crown and 2-3/8" brim seems right. I agree that light gray would be very popular. Will you have a silk rayon liner?

 

[Erik]

Another "I like what I see" comment. I wish your venture well.

 

[John in Covina]

Matt said something about putting some new info up, I think, while updating on the website.

 

[Edward]

Matt, the hats in those photos look beautiful. I've had my eye on one of your suits fo some time; the hat is likely to be more doable fo the foeseeable, given geography. Personally, I'd love to see one of those in a light grey with a copper-toned ribbon and matching brim binding. One thing I would really suggest as a big p-lus would be a liner in a dark shaade - scarlet would be great, black fine - as I find the white liners of my Akubras quickly pick up sweat stains from my shaven cranium.

 

[Mulceber]

Ooh, I'm really liking the look of this. Any idea what the felt content on this hat is going to be? -M

 

[mayserwegener]

I really like the second one too.

Looking forward to the final release.

 

[rrog]

I have nothing to add, I just want to be subscribed to this thread so I'll know when it's available...

ditto

 

[Matt Deckard]

Well if you check the website, I'm taking pre-orders now. It's available open crowned or I'll hand crease the hat to your specific desire. I particularly like wearing the hat brim up.
