Isabella Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well, I was hanging on AFR for the first time in years, and spoted a person asking for help getting into their local faire. After a miscontruded "you can't do that! It's not right!" commuication with another poster, I got this link from the person selling the hats in an email tonight. And I am shocked delighted, and wowed. Their work is amazing! It's custom made to your head, all leather, it's beautiful. I'm getting misty looking at it. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...&ed=10742722240 Izzy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pirata Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 It ended already with the low low price of $250. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isabella Posted January 17, 2004 Author Share Posted January 17, 2004 If you want one just email Judy via the auction. She quoted me 250.00 for the hat, in my size, etc. I thought that was decent for something so well made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Pirata Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Well made yes but a bit too rich for my blood. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 17, 2004 Share Posted January 17, 2004 Very exact replica, indeed! Now here's the burning question fer me: Does the hat in the movie have a bucket style crown, or a dome shaped crown? I thought it was a dome shaped. Any thoughts? Speaking of which...My costumer got a great deal on a hide and is offering the black leather tricorn like mine for $150. https://pyracy.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=177 https://pyracy.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=178 Here is her website: http://members.aol.com/dressmup/ Email her at: DressMup@aol.com Please be sure to tell her that Nigel referred you. Also, take a look at the pics above. Tell me what can I do to get my brim to shape more like Jack Sparrow's hat? Cheers! Sir Nigel - aka "Sir Freelancealot"; aka "Ace of Cads"; aka "JACKPOT!!"

I thought it was a dome shaped. Any thoughts? It has a dome crown. Judy is working on one for me. They will be a bit more money, she had to buy a metal steamer for the leather to work right.

'Salem Bob' Posted January 27, 2004 Share Posted January 27, 2004 Is the prop hat in the movie actually leather? Or is it a wool felt hat that has been tarred, then airbrushed to give it a weathered look? There are shots in the movie where it looks like you can see a textile surface to parts of the hat, and having seen good reproduction tarred hats, that have taken a beating, they do weather a bit similar to the look of the hat in the movie.

El Pirata Posted January 28, 2004 Share Posted January 28, 2004 Looks like that seller has another $250 hat for sale. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endkaos Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 This maker be from my port of Scottsdale, Arizona. They will make hat yer head size. Just be contacting them directly with the "click on ask seller a question" button. My obessession limit prohibits me from plundering $250 for the hat. And me husband will string me up with a short drop and sudden stop. ~Tori Like any unmanned ship, a novice sailor will eventually steer into the wind and then in circles.

El Pirata Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Husbands can be like that but I think a husband is still better than a wife. Husband's wrath? WIFE'S WRATH!!! No contest...

Iron Bess Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Na, they had five hats made one was sold on ebay to a man in Ohio. The other 4 are prob in Disneys keepings. Six hats and we have two left. Amazing how things go missing when a production closes. Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Rumba Rue Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 LOL Bess! Ah yes, the sticky finger approach from the props department. When I was working at Universal Studios way back when, when the Star Trek show was still going (I worked as a costumer/dresser), managed to save a bunch of Klingon head pieces and a couple of the orignal phasers out of wood from the trash bin. Sold everything for a nice price. Rumba Rue **Five-finger discounts are best!** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capt'n Jack Sparrow Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 Six hats and we have two left. Amazing how things go missing when a production closes. LOL I was off by one! Im use to props only making 5 of somthing. Did one get lifted from the display at Disney land? I have seen some pics with it and others without.

Iron Bess Posted January 29, 2004 Share Posted January 29, 2004 No, the one from the park was brought back here to the studio I believe. :) Well, you may not realize it but your looking at the remains of what was once a very handsome woman!

Hunting Hawk Posted February 10, 2004 Share Posted February 10, 2004 This be an old thread, but I'll thro my tupence worth in. Several years ago, Tandy Leather Co. had a patern for a leather hat. With a few changes to the patern it would make a good tricorne fer under $50. All these in the thread look good and may be well made, but I couldn't bring myself to pay that much fer no hat. I think, therefor I am. Or maybe I just think I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
