Fedora's fedora
Hey gang,
According to Richard Young himself on FB, the maker of his hat is O’Ferrell Hat Company, Santa Fe, New Mexico. They have a website at: https://ofarrellhatco.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Anyone heard of them? I plan to message him to see if he can provide further info.
Mike

Re: Fedora's fedora
I've heard of this company before, they make some decently priced replicas of movie hats etc but first I've never heard of Fedora's lid being made by them.
Interesting that they would go with someone completely out of left field for one characters hat but who knows?
I've always liked fedora's hat. It's a good alternative to an Indy look..... which I suppose is the point.
Please keep us informed of what you find out!

Re: Fedora's fedora
Longstanding custom/western hat company, established by Kevin O'Farrell, his son Scott now runs the shop (Kevin passed a few years back). From what I understand they still make very good hats, but original Kevin O'Farrell (Durango, CO) hats are coveted.
Adam Savage has recently been wearing a custom O'Farrell.

O'Farrell Hat Company made the iconic western worn by star Robert Taylor as LONGMIRE in the long-running recent Netflix TV series based on Craig Johnson's novels.

Though LONGMIRE is set in Wyoming, the show was shot in New Mexico. So I guess the production company chose a top local hatter.

Re: Fedora's fedora
Heard back from Richard, he had this to say...
As a side note, Richard was kind enough to also talk about his jacket, which I've shared here viewtopic.php?f=2&t=70838" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;Hi Mike, As you know, the opening scenes in the Last Crusade were filmed at the very end of production!
There were lots of Herbert Johnson hats around but Anthony Powell had a few hats made up locally to get a precise fit for my head. He mentioned that the hats were from O’Ferrall in Santa Fe! That’s what I remember.
Also, Mr. Powell wanted some subtle differences in the hat that I wore compared to the one Harrison wore!
Re: Fedora's fedora
That’s awesome that he was so open to communicating with you and remembered all of this.
Re: Fedora's fedora
Might be another twist to this. I’m told the fedora is in the archives and is stamped "Jay Lord Hatters” who seem to have gone out of business shortly after Last Crusade, around 89.

The Tale of Two Hats, it sounds like a good mystery story.

Re: Fedora's fedora
It could be Fedora #279, but I'm not too sure about the crown height or the pinch. Cheyenne Pinch #232 seems like another likely candidate, but wrong color.
Does anyone dare e-mail O'Farrell and ask them?
