Blocked Hat

Okay.

Really. You are not alone. There are thousands of people like you. And me.

Would you like Indiana Jones hat.

You have no reason, except … good wishes. If you lived 75 years ago, that would not even a question: Of course you own a hat. And feel naked if you left the house without it.

After all, just watch! The sharp edge. The distinctive shape. The flavor of the class and dignity that comes with the style 1930.

Ah, the fedora!

But in an era of large areas, low prices and lower quality, which becomes a thing of the beauty?

For me, the answer was obvious: Why not contact the man who played Harrison Ford's hat? Marc Kitten, along with partner Steve Delk, All handmade of felt used in the latest Indiana Jones film "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull."

Bernie Pollack costume designer of "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" contact Kitten. "He had said that Steve and I had specialized Indy's hat on and was wondering if I could answer some questions. After questioning us on edge widths of Crown Heights, belt width, the quality of skins and many other details, Pollack asked us some samples. We send several sample hats and could do nothing but wait. "

According Pollack, Spielberg was worried. "Oh I am so relieved that he [Spielberg] said. I've lost sleep wondering if I could get his hat perfect. "

Kitt said, "But after a shootout with proof of Harrison Ford and Steven Spielberg, the dream came true and we have the order. My wife went on vacation and started making hats up to 18 hours a day. "

Eighteen hours a day? If that sounds like a lot, it helps to know what happens in making a real Indiana Jones hat. The best are made of fur felt felt, never wool. In fact, the felt hat high quality is done beaver.

It's a long and difficult process. The skin is manipulated, processed and transformed into real 'sense, "possibly the most difficult material known to man. (The fibers are intertwined and arranged in all possible directions so it is almost impossible to break.)

"The pure beaver sense used in my hat are specially made to my specifications from a traditional manufacturer. This is the highest density of meaning that I have worked with him, and that adds to the durability of the final hat. We can even add water repellent felt during the manufacturing process.

From there, the best are handmade felt on a wooden block. "Wooden hat blocks have the advantage of allowing the felt" breath ", as it dries on them. This is one of the many details not always visible, but are valuable in the long run. "

Ironically, one of the most important pieces of a felt hat high quality can be something that is rarely seen: the wristband. Since this is the only part of the hat that actually touches the wearer's head, with the material adequate guarantees comfort and durability.

Kitten Hats exclusive use of sweatbands from Kangaroo hide, tanned furs are traditionally a family-owned company in Australia. From there, they are cut and became further reduce the available resistant leather wristbands, known and loved by the customers around the world.

The final touch is the lining of the hat of the highest quality bridal satin. "It looks and feels like silk but is more resistant to dust and sweat. "

The whole process can take more than 14 hours in one hand and it shows.

So … what makes Indiana's hat Jones so unique?

"The Indy Fedora is a classic snap brim Fedora with a brown belt in contrasting dark brown, but – as always with quality – the devil is in the details, "said Kitten.

"The blockshape used for the Indy Fedora is very rare today. Today classic hats have a conical crown and are experienced slight, mainly pure or mixtures rabbit beaver rabbit.

But even if you never have to worry about using his hat in the jungles of South America or racing the Russians for an ancient artifact that still deserve a hat to survive normal life.

"A felt hat high quality should be able to guard against the elements, not the reverse. The hat should withstand heavy rains, hot summer days and humid snow …. but must do so in style. So you can wear the same hat at the restaurant at night, "Kitten says.

In other words, a true Indy hat will give you positive feedback on a luxury cruise ship due to its silky smooth surfaces … but it is only appropriate with jeans and work boots.

Therefore, if you are looking for that final touch of class to go with a suit and tie or long're digging the garden to include begonias, the classic Indiana Jones hat is the perfect addition to your wardrobe.

And yes, mine on the road.
