Very awesome John!

JerseyJones

I am late to this party, but I would first say....WOW !

And second, if I'd found it like that, I'd keep it as it is as a collector's piece or perhaps barter it to one of the hat collector types for something in your noggin size.

Enjoy it !

Hello gang, I wanted to share some photos with you of my prototype Legend, now 2 plus years old, never having been weather treated, band changed or otherwise. I did this for the express purpose of seeing what the ol' girl could take. I think, in spite of needing a little brim straightening and some ...

JerseyJones

I am LIKING that hat band! It gives that hat a lot of old West character!

Thanks for wearing her out there!

Much "grah" (as they say in Ireland)

Looking good my friend.

Thanks for all the compliments as well !

Be well
Ken

JerseyJones

Marc,

Sorry man, it looks too terrible for you to keep it. I think, for your own sake, you should send it to me.

Excellent work, sir.

Cheers ! - Jersey

Thanks to all of you, <tips hat>

Email usually, but phone is fine too. The shop line is on the charger at the moment, but its 973 477 0934. Any time, you call me OK?

Thanks

BTW: on the felt, the difference may be most palpable to me who works on lots of these lids. It is softer since I reduced the % of shellac in the body. I.E. will break in faster.

Very nice! When did you 2 guys order? I'm still waiting for any notification that my hat has shipped. You are in the mix Bob, have no fear. :wink: I am trying to work as quickly as my afterhours time permits on styling. It will ship soon ! Randy, I am pleased that you like it !

WOW WOW WOW !

I have seen some sword wraps that are not as well executed. That whip is amazing and you should (are) proud to own her.

I will, of course, need one someday.

With that, I am off to write a great character around that whip !

Peace

Hmmm, best place to get a hat body... Go where the 'pros' go. Winchester Hat Corp, (931)967-0687. Ask for Greg. This is the same fellow who supplies Steve Delk (AB) and Art Fawcett (Vintage Silhouettes). Pure beaver bodies were going for $55.50, and rabbits for $28.25, when I checked with them earl...

Hey there, With any woven edge hat you will be hard pressed to get it to not come apart if you cut it, depending upon the weave. You might be able to stitch a ribbon to the edge, though I admit I've never tried it. I am working on a Brown Indy Straw. I hope to have more information on it in the next...

Quality looks great, but it looks kind of tall. I agree, it may be just a bit too tall, but I would have to see it on a few heads to make sure. I am sure Marc can have it made shorter, if indeed it is too tall. I will hold my appraisel until AFTER I hold the real deal, post proto type in hand. Hard...

Great prototype Marc. Well done !

I may need one of those myself.

Best of luck !

...but I'd like something with lighter weight wool I could wear in the warmer weather. 2. Camptown hats - not 100% beaver like the Adventurebilt, but it now has the Adventurebilt block, making its shape just as good. Despite the lack of beaver, it is by all accounts nearly as durable as an Adventur...

Unless there is something about their products that merits it anyone paying that kind of coin for non-tailored clothes has too much money and no idea what google is.

Wool pants make sense. So would a cotton shirt. Sturdy, popular, and typical of the time. I think HF's issues are mainly with the leather jacket and felt hat. Neither is good for warm climates, especially humid jungles. There would have been better jacket materials for desert cold. And that hat! Ev...

Growing up in a Catholic school environment, which insisted on politeness dating back to about the 11th century or so, here is what I know. NEVER wear a hat indoors, but for in a department store, diner if seated at the counter or in a foyer/entry when checking one's coat. Remove your hat/tip it for...

I will agree with the above... Walking into someone's house, definitely. Walking into work, I usually take it off by the time I get to the elevator. Walking around a mall, not necessarily, though usually if I'm going to be indoors for any length of time it is too warm to wear a hat for long. Same h...

There is a difference with Wested in that they actually provided the garments for the production in 1980. they cannot say they are the "official" indy jacket, but they are within their rights to state the truth, which is that they are the makers of the original jacket used in "Raiders...
