Why do you think we buy open-crown hats?


Many a C-crown has been shaped by hand. It does not have to be blocked by a factory to be a C-crown. A C-crown is a C-crown no matter how the crease was made.
Many afficianados prefer to crease their hats by hand. Bogart was probably one of these. Perfection is seldom achieved and that is as it should be. If everyone had a perfectly creased hat, there would be no room for individuality. The individuality of each combination of hat and wearer is the sublime basis of the art of wearing a hat with style and panache.
Strive for perfection, knowing that there is always more to achieve, for the joy is in the attempt.

-------------------------------

Excellent point about individuality, I love hand bashing my hats and reshaping them after the fact.

They have the hat for sale here - https://www.baronhats.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=393

I actually purchased two Baron hats over the summer; one Man in Black, and one Teddy (both from Westworld). I must say, after reading the reviews of Barons hats from the lounge, I was quite nervous.

But having them in hand, I must say that I'm actually quite impressed. Every request I made was met and then some, and they were very consistent in responding to my emails.

I do have several Adventurebilts from Steve, a Texas Hatter, and a VS, and the quality to me is comparable with those guys.

Came with a CoA that is cute but useless for my purposes, and I personally think that while it's an expensive company, the pricing is in line with AB and Texas Hatters, and considering the overhead, I can see why.

The only complaint is that they made a small change to one of the hats that I did not specifically request, but was in a reference photo I had sent. But I guess there's worse things than being proactive...

Can't speak for their other stuff, but I would highly recommend their Westworld hats.

John Carradine in "Stagecoach" (1939)

One of the great ones. John Ford knew how to make a Western.

Indeed.
Carradine looks like a precursor to Val Kilmer's Doc in Tombstone.

Yes, I really like that hat. And no doubt Kilmer took some pointers from Carradine's interpretation of Holiday.

Another of John Ford's Westerns. His version of "The Three Godfathers". John Wayne and Harry Carrey Jr. Check out John Wayne's hat with the Montana Pinch....

Having never seen this movie myself I trust it's not about Lord Janner, Lord Brittan or Jimmy Savile.

from something i read earlier -
The last thing he said echoed in my head for days afterwards and echoes even louder in the immediate wake of Harry's death. “You get older. In the end, you end up accepting everything in your life – suffering, horror, love, loss, hate – all of it. It’s all a movie, anyway. [Closing his eyes] ‘A tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.’ Great line, eh? That’s life, right there.”

It being several yrs since I last saw it I recently watched "McCabe and Mrs. Miller". I had forgotten about the part of the Cowboy as played by Keith Carradine:

And seeing Warren Beatty as McCabe again,

reminded me of this unidentified tintype:

It's the eyes & nose, I think.

Dang, Rusty! Matt Damon's hat makes me want to go and re-shape one of mine now. Ruben Blades knows how to wear a hat as well. One of those movies I'll stop and watch whenever I find it on. Did that just the other day.
