DL Hughley ... just popped up in my feed wearing one of this guys creations ... I assume it is anyway ... since no one else can use a match

 

[Redfokker]

Priceless. You should copyright that...

At first I thought that the matchsticks might have caused the fire!

Wonder if he'll TM the dog leash? What a waste of Big Smith denim.

Hello All: WTF is that!! Def needs more matches!! Should they ignite the only sadness would be watching a fine crease perish! My 2 cents. Be well. Bowen

Damn good question. Apparently it's a collaboration between the alledged hat maker Fouquet and alledged fashion designer Greg Lauren.

I would call it a train wreck. I don't want to but i can't look away!

Maybe it is because this is a screen shot from a TV broadcast, but this matchstick does not appear to have a green head. I thought the only color Mr. F used for the business end of his "trademark" was green.

Several of the folks who offered statements in support of his trademark application specifically commented on the green matchsticks, and all of the photos of the hats included in the trademark application appear to include matchsticks of the green variety.

The color green clearly appears to be a function of the alleged mark. The trademark examiner should have pointed that out.

I don't wanna be rude or anything but I would like to correct a statement made early saying that hornskov is the only hatter in Denmark as there are actually 6 one of which is the second oldest hatter in the world still in function

named petitgas and is located on koebmagergade 5 in Copenhagen and is currently being run by a lovely elderly couple and has been in business since 1857 which is where I'm planning on taking my 1912 a f bodecker silk topper for a refurbishment

PS:my ''reply/comment''? is properbly a tad bit off topic

[deeoeraclea]

petitgas

some other Danish hatters with no internet presence include

Marie Wahlstrøms modeforretning on Toldbodgade in aarhus
Andersen&berner hatte on Nørrebrogade 45A copenhagen
modist Susanne juul on Store Kongensgade 14 copenhagen

This is seriously encroaching on my trademark (since 1974).

Knew you would appreciate it. That's the post of the day. Careful though, Bob has been banished again.

 

[deeoeraclea]

apperantly Marie Wahlstrøms modeforretning went out of business and has been for quite some time now so just ignore that from the earlier list

That is one of the real upsides to having access to FEPSA or Tonak felts. Their colour range is so much broader than the Winchester felts available to US hatters.

I have added fespa to my offering. All custom made to my specs.

This is one made recently for Brent Spiner of Star Trek the next Generation
It is Borsalino thin. Made exclusively for me.

I'm watching Meet me in St. Louis & the ice man has several matches in the ribbon of his hat, opposite the bow.
