Take this into consideration:
When discussing the making of the CS hats around 2007, Steve stated in a previous post:
Yet a stickied thread in this very forum, dated 2008, Marc wrote:The hat that I totally hate is the one he wears in the jungle scenes. Not all of the scenes, but some of them. The crown looks like a round oval instead of a regular oval. It appears to be too wide in crown, to me. This probably happened because Marc blocked some of these hats on his round oval raiders block, so he could iron and pounce the hats, to send to me to finish out. With us being rushed up big time, I may have not stabilized the hat into the CS blockshape well enough, and at least one hat reverted to the round oval. I am pretty sure this is what happened with that one hat in the film.
Now, granted in the year between the making of the production hats and Marc's post, he could very well have acquired a new set of blocks to emulate Steve's set, but would that then mean that the CS hats offered by him since would not have that screen lineage? In other words, would his later hats not technically be production accurate since he is using a different set of blocks than what he used for the film?Ok, let's see... What is the same on the AB and the AB-Dlx. is the brand, the fanatism of the maker , the ribbon and on the CS Fedoras the block.
On the flip side, is it possible that he is still using his Raiders block, which technically can be considered 'his' CS block?
Or am I simply misreading all this and Marc had a set of CS blocks back in 2007, but due to not having enough for the production needs, alternated making hats on both a CS block and a Raiders block?
