This block is $150 brand new for each block, which is a tad better than $600. This is the style I use when restoring old hats for sale. I only offer this shape blocked, the rest being hand shaped or open crown. Hey, but this is a NICE block for the money. In fact, if this shape is fancied, I...
Everyone knows Mark Mejia and Eddy of BaronHats.com? I recently spoke with Mark about a hat he made for Val Kilmer that one of my customers wanted. Nice folks.
"Eddie Baron, Master Hat Maker and Founder of Baron Hats was very proud of the hat he made for "Indiana Jones and the Temple of...
Hmmm.... I have a brand new Stetson Downs and I am quite satisfied with the soft, thin felt, considering what is available today and the quality of other FACTORY hats. I wouldn't write off the whole brand. Oh, Aaron, I hope you sell that Diamante too! I am waiting to see how well Stetson and...
Sounds good my friend. I occaisionally travel through on my way to Dixon, MO where my buddy makes our hat racks. I will contact you in advance if I ever plan a trip instead of just running when biz slows down.
Ah shucks. :o Aaron's got a nice write up too in case you missed it in a previous letter. I was really promoting Hatlife Directory with this post (always promoting something and not ashamed). I didn't mean to toot my own horn. Any folks in the hat business should know Diane Feen, her...
Hey Tony. That's the other thing that should be discussed here. Anyone wearing sunglasses with their fedora MUST have the Ray Ban Wayfarer Elite sunglasses! It's the only ones I will wear, with the same "turtle shell?" color and finish. They are the best if they are not a knock off. I wore...
Thanks to Diane Feen at Hatlife.com for the press coverage! A great contact for anyone here. SharpeToys knows....:) They publish the Hatlife directory I have discussed in another thread.

Tony, glad you like the rack. I drove 8 hours to Missouri to watch Jerry Packer of Comedy Woodwurx make the rack, as you bought the first one. He's been churning them out ever since in his beautiful wood shop in the ozarks. The local walnut is awesome. Just a little wax brings the wood right...
Hey, thanks again! Use steam to shape and clean. There are many experts here with good info. For the most part, with a fur felt, I wouldn't worry about anything until it happens, then you know where to go! The only thing I would really recommend for a new fur felt is a hat brush!
