Steve uses an old machine to punch little holes through a sweatbant to spell out a name or intials as seen here...

Alan, JF is right about Steve and art I don,done know. I havens seen it done. Doesn't mean it not or couldn't. It slow things down a great deal. The sweatband is stamped and if I hand to call and give a name to each sweat. I would have to wait for it and pay a little more. Then what if I cut it wrong ( misstakes happen). I wouldn't care to much about the expense but I would have to wait again for the sweat. I don't think this is going to happen.
as for sizes, I'll post sizes real soon.

The bike has a lot of different reasons I used it. It's a very old style bike ( old style hat). I like the image, and the last reason I'll keep to myself.
I'm working on getting all the supplies that I want to use. Nailing them down is not as easy as you might think. Getting the sweats with name and info takes time and the logo on the liners will take a bit of time aswell.
I also want to get a few of the details improved to where I'm happy with them. I know the photo's look good but there are a few detail that I'm not 100% happy with.
I'm trying to get everything worked out by July but will not let a hat out of my hands that I'm not happy with.

Here's the Beaver felt hat from my other thread. I stripped it down and re-worked it. I'm trying to improve on some of the details that just bug me. Here are a couple of pics. I decided to change the hat to a CS hat.
This is not the ribbon I will be using. I hate this ribbon. I'm just using it to work on getting the process of stitching the ribbon on.

thanks again everyone for the kind words.
For lead times. I don't know as I have not excepted any orders from anyone but from a couple of friends that I know here. As for the cost , I'm still working out what it will cost me for the supplies ( per hat) and how much time I put into each one. I don't expect my time is worth a great deal right now but is worth something. I haven't found the exact ribbon I want to use but I think I might have found one. I want the hat to be of the highest quality but don't want to get carried away.

Johnny Fedora, Thanks buddy.
I have been wearing it all day. It's a CS hat so no turn to this hat. It's not bad but not yet worthy of putting a name or logo on it.
I have received a ribbon that I like but have a couple more samples of ribbon that should arrive in the next couple of days. I should have that taken care of soon with any luck.
Sweatband and liner is just a matter of them making the liners with logo on them and the sweats being stamped and shipped.
The ribbon is the big hold up and me trying to get a few things to come out more the way I want.

BendingOak: I know it’s way too soon for a review about the following topic, but do you believe your hats are going to be weather resistant, crushable resistant and tapering resistant? I know you’re using the “Bulldog” slogan, but it will be nice to hear your impressions on your first prototypes. :
Anyway, ff you’re already fixing a costumer list for the first generation wave of orders, please count me in! I would like to have one of your hats and support your new project!
P.S. Steve Delk mentioned not so long ago, he wasn’t too much interested to make the (possible) Indy 5 fedoras since he would like to leave that for a new hatter and he would rather help on the task. Are you aiming there mate? It would rock! (I know it’s way too soon, but you never know... )

That's a disdinct possability John! Let's see a West coaster, with the same...well anyway, plus if a recomendation were offered...holy cow! Get to work Oak! You've got some practicing to do! And at $500,000,000.00, 66 years old and counting, who knows how long before preproduction starts. Let's hope this time Larry will write it... What you standing around for? Go make hats!Fink wrote: P.S.

If there was to be another film, I am NOT interested. We made the CS fedora. Let another hatter get some perks. Barons would be a good choice. I would rather be a ruler to measure the next Indy fedora by. I want to see someone replicate what we did. There is a secret thing we did, and I won't say more. But unless you pick up on it, a replication would be very difficult to pull off. Not impossible, but very difficult. I shan't say more than this. Let any future hatter find out by himself. Cause I ain't saying. Fedora

I didn't want to get a list going because I didn't want people to get upset if things don't go flying by July first. I think I might have found a ribbon I like but my sweat guy changed who he get his stuff from. I don't like his new hides. I'm off looking for sweats again.
Another reason I haven't taken any list is I haven't put a price tag on it yet. If you would like to send me your size in inches and what color you might like ( in a PM) I might be able to at least have an idea as to what felt I need to order next.
As for the felt. I know it's will stand up to almost anything and will resist shrinking and tapper.
