Commodore Swab Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Where does one go to find a good inexpensive hat blank to work with?
Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Most colonial/rendevous events will have vendors with hat blanks. If you need one befroe you can get to an event, try Jas. Townsend & Sons, or Smoke-n-Fire co. They both offer the inexpensive blanks. Sutler John? does he offer these? Weeping Heart? Bo
historyfanatic Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 I can help you. I have several colors, 100% wool felt, hand-blocked to your size and stiffened with real shellac (made from the secretions of the Lac beetle) as was done in the 18th century. I also cut the brims to an even width and I can embroider the edge upon request. Black and Brown (1/16" thick) are $25, $40 if embroidered. I also have heathered grey which is of a much heavier felt.(1/8" thick) They are $35 each and cannot be embroidered.

Capt. Bo of the WTF co. Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Sorry Nate! And I have your catalogue right here too! Bo
historyfanatic Posted August 18, 2009 Posted August 18, 2009 Depends on what you mean by custom colors... I can get a lot of colors, but I usually don't because other colors are typically hard to sell. Let me know what you're wanting and I'll tell you if I'd be willing to get that color in stock.

Commodore Swab Posted September 24, 2009 Author Posted September 24, 2009 I emailed you last week regarding the 1/8 inch grey blank. Did you get the email?
LadyBarbossa Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Custom colors possible? Hmmm... I may be hitting you up in due time for some colorful hats. ~Lady B Tempt Fate! an' toss 't all t' Hell!" "I'm completely innocent of whatever crime I've committed." The one, the only,... the infamous!
