A wonderful picture.

Besides, didn't Lara Croft start out as royalty - Lady Croft?!

Had to chime in on this one folks. I agree. Affordable is relative term. People have different expectations for both the amount of money they want to spend and what they want in the quality of any specific product. Folks are also more or less swayed by dollar signs alone. The best we can do is strik...

Same question. The hat looks great and I am a huge fan of Tropicana orange juice.

Good in the morning or in the afternoon, out on the deck, with a little rum.

Someone should take a minute to contact Tropicana and inquire as to the availability of those great hat stands!

Chuckles!

Thanks Falco. Didn't know. Had to ask. Cheers. C79 Help a guy out. What's fullers earth? Thanks. C79 Fuller's Earth is a very fine "dirt". How about that ! The grains are very small and adheres to surfaces very well. ToddsCostumes.com sells Fullers Earth. There's a description on the websi...

Hi Lauren.

I'm not sure that "cute" is the appropriate description, but that's the word that comes to mind when I look at it.

Nice work.

Cheers.

I seem to remember them being available at Home Depot at one time.

Hi Z.

The only reason the hat looks awkward is that your head is tilted to one side in the picture.

It honestly looks great. I find that it always takes a bit for me to get used to a new lid.

Enjoy the new hat.

WalkingEye - Welcome to the Club. I was exactly where you are now a month or so ago and came to the same conclusion. Because of that, I am awaiting the Camptown Fieldmaster I ordered from Ken and, with a little more research still to do, I am leaning towards ordering a new jacket as well. Best regar...

Now that I've asked out loud, I am wondering what colour I would order a Federation in while I wait for my brown Fieldmaster.

Chime in if you have a mind to.

Cheers.

Glad someone asked the question. I wasn't sure when I received my email from Deb at HatsDirect and was beginning to scratch my head.

Thanks Aztec.

In Dr. Jones shoes, I would probably carry a revolver. I agree with the choice of a Smith & Wesson.

I'm a wheelgun guy myself with both a Colt Trooper Mk III and a S & W Model 586 to my name. Both are beautiful, powerful and reliable!

Howdy. Now that I have my order in for my Fieldmaster, I am beginning to look at a new leather jacket. It is a happy coincidence that I have a number of nice black leather ones, but nothing in brown. I would like to hear from those of you who have had experience in purchasing an Indy from Wested Lea...

Mal.

I am presently considering a Wested Indy jacket. I have just looked at the pictures you posted and, in my opinion, your new purchase fits perfectly.

I sincerely hope that, if I pick up a Wested, it looks as good as yours does.

Regards.

Although I really liked the pictures I'd seen of the Fieldmaster, it was my conversations with Ken that led me to choose him to make my first fedora.

He has cheerfully informed me that I am in the mix.

All I can do now is wait.

Cheers.

I'm new to the two forums but not new to politics messing things up. I'm sorry to hear that if that is the case. It would be nice to have all the hat makers I've read about be able to talk about the pieces they make and answer questions from members. That way we can all make a more informed decision...

I'll be pleased to let you know as soon as it arrives.

The Camptowns are great looking fedoras, look forward to your report when you get yours!

A person should be allowed the joy of making a living at that which makes them most happy.

This is my first post on the forum and I thought it was fitting that I begin by announcing that, after doing a lot of reading here and at the F.L., I have placed an order for my very first fedora with Ken at Camptown Hats. I own a number of custom made cowboy hats that I wear to the range, but this ...
