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.
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.
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.
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!
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;
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.
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.
