STETSON 100
If I remember correctly, the Stetson 100's were made entirely in hand (in opposite to the other Stetsons back then) from pure beaver felt. They came in a leather suitcase (I'm sure you've seen these around here before) and were only made to order (or so I've been told). I've heard that they... -

Custom made Magnoli shoes. A review
Hey gang, I got the shoes I ordered from Magnoli for my wedding. And they're awesome. There's ONE tiny thing that could have been better and that is, that I can't pull the laces tight enough to make the shoes close all the way up, due to my high step. Otherwise the craftmanship and the...- Marc

Can this tight crease be removed?
lol Sorry, but that is as if you'd buy one of these modern Borsalinos with the Borsalino script on the bow knot, and then claiming, you won't say who the maker is. Ok, to be honest, there are TWO hatters, who could have made this hat, but it would still be the same company ;) lol I'm sure... -

Thanks! The hat itself is 300€, plus shipping and evtl. 5% PAYPAL fees, if that's what is preferred. Due to the min. requirement of my felter (50 pieces per color on the custom made rawbodies), there only one way to keep them affordable without ending up in the poorhouse myself and that is to... -

Sam Spade's Fedora
I'm nowhere an expert when it comes to Bogies hat and all I can say is that I LOVED seeing the movie, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt, please. Ok, as far as I know, Bogart wasn't the tallest man;) So based on that, I don't believe that his head was too big neither. Now, assuming that... -

Very true Tony! It's not due to the complication of hatmaking, that most modern hats are mashine made disposable hats. It's due to the greed of those who make them. Why spent several hours or days on a hat to make it by hand, when a maschine can whipe it together in a couple of minutes? - Saves... -

Steve is my friend and biz partner. When he started Adventurebilt Hat Co., the hobby quickly turned into a full time job for him - which was neither planned nor expected (at least not to THAT degree). Being a fanatic fan of the Raiders Fedora myself, a good friend of Steve and after having... -

Hey all, one of my customers - a gentleman with several hundred hats :o - asked me to make an open crown hat for him, with the flying-V and everything else that makes a hat an Indy Fedora, except for the dim. cut on the brim. Open crown, as he likes to put in a personal crease - non Indy. So... -

My first non-Indy...
Thanks for the honest replies gents! I'll write a little trevia, to tell why the hat looks the way it does: The hat was made entirely from scratch using Portugal pure beaver felt. My collegue wanted it as stiff and thick as humanly possible. I had this body left over from the several sample... -

I made this one for a collegue of mine, who wanted something non-Indy :? I need to sew in the liner and the little sweatband bow later today and than he can have it tomorrow. Let me know your honest opinion please: Regards, Marc -

Felt debate
@Joseph: I don't want to be the nay-sayer around here, but I believe that some of you statements in your original post aren't quite right... That is just a little far out in my book. Granted if you compare a mass produced vintage hat (and they WERE mass produced, just check Debbie... -

Adventurebilt proudly presents: The AB-Deluxe
Just got a reply from my block maker, that to for the special wood I requested for the blocks (similar to rose wood), the price is 261 bucks PLUS shipping (and that is WITHOUT taxes!!!). I reckon I'll have to recalculate a bit in order to not pay my own money for each hat sold :cry: Heck... -

Adventurebilt proudly presents: The AB-Deluxe
Sorry, but due to the immens cost for the blocks that I get custom made, I opted for a set of Raiders blocks only to start with. Of course a Raiders Fedora could be creased LC style (or any style for that matter), but it just wouldn't look "screen accurate". I do however have an order on a non... -
