...Hey, Gents, just a question:
To your knowledge, is everything copasetic with the Magnoli / Delk HJ operation? Can't seem to raise either one with a question re: my address change & an update on my order received by Indy at the end of June...
I guess it's only been 3 months; is that...
Legend...
...No, (W.C. Fields!), I have not, but am looking for that UPS truck every day! Man, I'm ready to stick some fishing flies in it & hit the river...
...A question, gentlemen of knowledge & experience: I have a Magnoli HJ on order (for about one month...Indy reports I'm about half-way there..)
Considering that the lid will be re-blocked, re-built, etc., by Steve Delk, would I be correct in assuming, then, that it will be ultimately shipped...
The shadow of your hat...
...Yesterday, while walking on a river bank to a different fishing spot, I caught my own shadow, especially of my head and old fedora. This 'reflection' became an iconic-looking 'symbol' of myself..me, but also a better, more honorable me; like looking your best...
'57 Legend
...The 'style/name' of this hat was, of course, chosen to reflect the year in which the latest Jones film takes place. It is, I think, an 'iconic' year, connoting all the imagery (film-wise, cars, events) that can romantically be considered "Legendary".
'Legend' Spy Photos!
...Hey Dan'l! Spy photos from 'Zone 3' look great...I too, think that straight-sided, tall crown has the best of possibilities, especially with Ken's nimble fingers. (Also like that comment re: 'new softer felt'.) When this eagle lands, it promises to be a 'keeper', as we...
'57 Legend...Mighty Fine News!
...Thanks, Daniel. We are all fortunate to have you as the 'eyes and ears' on this topic. Ken highly values his association with you, and I personally think the 'Legend' will be on par with (and better) than the highly-touted factory AB.
Crimony, the block...
Daniel, would like to send a pm...
Howdy, Dan, Nevada (Loren) Smith here...would like to send you a pm, but cannot due to administrative problem. Just a question concerning fedoras. I am at fishsketcher@charter.net.
Perforated Crowns
....I have an Indian-War period regulation slouch hat (1880's), and a perforated 'star' decorates each side of the unlined crown. The hat has a gov. contract stamp on the sweatband, and I can only assume it's purpose was to ventilate. So at least the government thought it was...
"Camptown Racetrack 5 Miles Long..."
Thank you, fellows, for your kindness and instant brotherhood. Rare these days for a cold call to become such a warm connection.
Will definitely post pix of the Camptown '1957' when it arrives. (I just hope I look half as good in it as RBH in his...
Hello, new member here, L.G. Smith. Illustrator by trade; fishing & hunting magazines and books. It was a combination of excitement over the new IJ film and a desire for a new (old) fishing hat that led me to Camptown Hat Co., and Ken Spassionne's new '1957 Legend'.
I ordered one, after a...
