Long Steve Pyrite Posted September 6, 2003 Posted September 6, 2003 For fellow forum mates with a sense of daring do... We have found a source for quality beaver mix "fur felt" hat bodies. These are the same hat bodies used to make the very expensive cowboy and other hats and will stand up to bad weather. ("Wool felt" bodies are commonly used in most costume hats and are not weather hardy.) We are able to offer these hat bodies for around $55.00 each because they have small imperfections. A hat body is a bare bones hat which has not been blocked, the brim hasn't been trimmed and there is no sweatband. We are able to get various sizes and colors depending on availability. Your comments would be much appreciated.
captweaver65 Posted September 7, 2003 Posted September 7, 2003 well Long Steve, that sounds like a mighty fine deal. what percentage of beaver is it? beaver felt hats can be VERY expensive-the blanks I saw for sale about 8 years ago (at a pow wow) were 30% beaver and sold for $120 .I'm sure they would have inflated up to $200 by now. that makes $55 imperfects look REAL good to this pirate.

Mad Gracie Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 I've seen many mention to Hat Crafters. But has anyone actually ordered from them and if so, how is the quality? What is the material? How is the stitching? How is it holding up? Any details that you can offer, i'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks, ~MG~
Cap'n Coyote Posted October 6, 2003 Posted October 6, 2003 Jocko, in reference to yer post in the other topic where you be asking about leather hats. Now that I’ve seen the POTC movie, twice, I noticed that Jack Sparrow, I mean Captain Jack Sparrow be wearing a mighty fine leather tricorne hat. Well maybe it not be so fine, actually it be looking kind of hot and sweaty. But arrrr and blast if it not be authentic for the period, a leather tricorne be looking pretty damn cool if you ask me. Stynky, Excalibur Leather has Captain Sparrow's leather tricorn now. Rumors of my death were right on the money.

I'll post pics as soon as I get a chance. Pushing the limits means getting out of my comfort zone and giving more when I don't think I have any left.

Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 Ahoy, ahoy! I just finished up the final detailing on my "wedding hat" for my wedding at the Pirates in Paradise Festival. It's fabulous, if I do say so myself. It began its meager existence as a slightly off-white plushy riverboat hat with a wired brim. I just twisted the brim up into a tricorne shape. Then, I added a full, poufy white boa (feather, not marabou fuzz). Then, I added a nice, sparkly gold twisted braiding trim all around the underside of the brim (which is the part that you see when it's flipped up like a tricorne). Then, I added this gorgeous trim that I got from Wal-Mart. This trim is made from tiny gold beads forming a square, with a clear rhinestone in the middle. My honey says it's very girly-looking and makes a fabulous wedding hat, since there are so many feathers on it. I mean, really, it would gag most "gentlemen" pirates. Is that an oxymoron? Anyway, I'll try to get a good pic and put it on this board. If nothing else, I'll redo my avatar with me wearing the hat. I need a better pic, anyway. I look like I'm ready to run you through with the one I've got! <= Arrgh! Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
captweaver65 Posted October 15, 2003 Posted October 15, 2003 look forward to seeing it. :) Capt Weaver "No man will be a sailor who has contrivance enough to get himself into a jail; for being in a ship is being in a jail, with the chance of being drowned.

Capt. Westyn Elizabeth Roberts Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 Hey! Check out the new Avatar. You can sort of see my new hat. My digital camera is about ready to be thrown overboard! It looks splotchy. Maybe one of these days, I'll hook up the ol' scanner and scan a good pic. Anyway, don't be frightened. I know you can see more of my face in this new pic. Capt. WE Roberts "I shall uphold my indignity with the utmost dignity befitting a person of my undignified station."
"Broadside" Long Posted October 16, 2003 Posted October 16, 2003 I'd be mighty interested to see some o' the hats you good pyrates got from Jastown and hear about what you think about them. A pyrate never can too many hats. Much obliged, Broadside Every normal person must be tempted at times to spit upon his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats! - Lucanus
