    Pouncing

    I really know very little about how pouncing is done, but this info can be found on the adventurebilt delux website and describes the process as a series of stages using finer and finer sand paper: "Now comes the most time consuming part of hatmaking and at the same time, the one that gains...

    movie hats that inspired you...

    I watched The Ipcress File yesterday. The film was made in 1965, and although their were a number of hats on display, they were worn by the older, establishment characters. To my eye they also looked badly made and poorly bashed. was it at this time that things began to go wrong? There were...

    Hey UK! Where do you buy your hats?

    Thanks for the replies. Is there anywhere in the UK that would do reblocks/adjustments. I want to get a brim trimmed, but don't won't a hatchet job as it's on a decent custom. Many thanks

    Hey UK! Where do you buy your hats?

    With advintage no longer making custom hats, is adventurebilt delux the only custom European hat maker? If so there must be an opportunity for someone, as transport and import costs are so high from the US. Is there a European Art Fawcett anywhere?

    Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons

    The hats I posted were both Black Cherry, Art's Black Cherry, being the darker of the two. I think Jared's is Oxblood though.

    Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons

    Thanks Jared, it's interesting to have a 3rd hat to compare with. I took the brim dimensions down, John's is 2 3/4, Art's 2 1/2. I guess the hatter this will change brim width with the hat size to keep things in proportion?

    Side By Side/ Hat Comparisons

    Thanks for posting the photo's I couldn't post them directly into the forum. I also realise I should have given them a brush before photographing them!

    http://www.thefedoralounge.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1331&stc=1&thumb=1&d=1368566629 I must admit to finding the black cherry colour very confusing. Here are two examples of Art's work, both Black Cherry but they look almost like different colours to me. Is it just the lighting or can...
