Congrats Lloyd. You and I will get ours at about the same time. Isn't he just a pleasure to work with?:eusa_clap
They did in fact make the hat, the Boater that is most prevalent in the movie, and in fact, have the original one in their museum.
I can think of no other company that puts this kind of time and effort into such hats.
The whole Indian Jones flap has been talked about ad nauseam on this site. So, let's not go there again. Bottom line: Baron’s has never, ever claimed to have made the hat.
And I'm not a member of any "Hall of Fame".
PS: If anyone would like to have check my own facts, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks for the advice everyone and I'll be sure to post pics when the new cover arrives. According to Art that should be in late January if all goes according to plan.

WOAH! Custom beaver fedora delivered to the customer in less than a month?! Sweet deal! :eusa_clap
Did you pick one of Art Fawcett's existing stock hats or is he making you one from scratch?...
Lloyd said:Hello. I just started getting into Fedoras and I'm having problems finding anything with a tall enough crown. I'm beginning to contemplate a custom hat and was wondering about Baron Hats. I've read a few comments in some of the posts that seem to indicate they are not too popular. What's the skinny here?
Any info would be appreciated.
Thanks
Lloyd
just read your thread (outstanding) and cannot agree with you more about those that critcize without going to the source or checking the facts before they write something that is a a bald face lie or using words that mislead the reader and hurt those that they wish to deface.
thats pretty much why I got out of the lounge a few years back I couldn't stand the petty attitudes of those that wished to force there own agenda and influence on those that wished to better the lounge and the AMERICAN hatmakers.
now i'm back because one of my customers told me they are bashing me and I'd better do something about it. I read some threads and contacted those involved and responded to them and they, accept for one, responded and corrected their thread.
I guess I will stick around and see what's going on because 99% of the threads,opinions and statements are interesting.
I probably got tis quote wrong(I think I'm close) The Duke "life is tough pilgrim, it's even tougher when your stupid"

NO PROBLEM!!
On or about 1/08/08 I recieved a W9 from Chryl Beasley for the Movie "public Enemy" for me to produce hats for the principals in the aforesaid movie. The costume designer Collen Atwood (whom I have worked for numerous times) sent me pictures of hats to reproduce for MR Depp with the specific request to reproduce the same. Invoice #H-781 was created for a grey hat size 7 1/4 x 6x 4x2 1/4 printed with (see instructions per 1930 printed on it) 3 hats were made .
on or about 01/08/08 I recieved instruction(from C. beasley) to ship aforesaid hat to C& j costumes in N. Hollywood & please include your invoice ETC< ETC< shipped by fed ex (on or about 01/13/08)
If you wish to see my documentation I will be HAPPY to reproduce for you.Feel free to contact M.s Beasley or anyone else involved in the film.
The possibility of Optimo , me, Barons,even fawcett working for a movie is not out of the norm. All I know is Colleen ask me,and I did , Make hats for mr Depp in "public Enemy"
I hope this answer your inquiry ? and puts to rest any question as to the VALIDITY to my claim that I did indeed, and have in the past and made hats for Mr Depp for the movie "Public Enemy" specifically.
this is the problem I specifically was adressing in my previous thread #31 all you had to do is call me or the studio and this type of excrement would not exist. Ah that would have been to easy though huh PILGRIM!!
respectfully
