The Johnny Ringo Hat

He is in Colorado now, but thinking of moving back to Arizona.
I think the hat you are speaking of was Lance Hendrickson's (Ace Hanlon) hat. Looked like the Billy The Kid hat Val Kilmer wore. That was why I bugged him for 2 years to teach me. He has a way of putting a dent here or a crease there to give the hat character. He has some great stories from the movies he worked with. He is hard to contact, but worth it.

Thanks, that's the one, I'm kinda sorry I changed it but I think I can bring it back, the hat is very malleable with a little steam. By the way, welcome to the lounge.

Sorry to drag up an old topic, but I just joined. Had this hat made in '96. At the time I did not know who had made the Ringo hat, so I had Baron's Hats in Burbank, CA make me this copy, which they duplicated perfectly. Sadly, one day my daughter's' cat got into the room where I stored my hats & shredded it to pieces... I plan on asking Tom to make me one some day...

Baaaaad kitty! That really is to bad. You should have it remade. The hat is very nice looking.
