Falcon Park Hattery

[pjt113]

Parker converted a Resistol Stagecoach western hat to this fedora. Absolutely love it! Can't wait to get the oxblood fedora he's making for me.

Parker tells me my Open Road-ish "Trail" in camel should be ready by Dec. 15, and maybe earlier.

He did excellent work, as expected! but Oxblood!? When did he get that color in!? Might have to give him a ring...

 

[pjt113]

He's ordering the oxblood in for me, give him a call maybe he ordered extra bodies

 

[bowlerman]

...and the devil strikes again! Who will win this battle-- me or my felted temptress?

 

[pjt113]

Also he mentioned he's getting a new line of bodies for next year, name is something like fapsa?

I believe he said there would be some new colors also.... He is going to start a Vintage line with these new ones.....

Should be interesting for me ,, not so for my wallet

Sounds like some very good stuff coming down the pipe!

I've already maxed out my hat limit for this year, but I'll definitely have to put in an order with Falcon Park next year.

Don't know what happened to the Falcon park thread but...

My hat is done, picking it up next week will post some pictures!

Here it is-- all the way on page 8!
I just sent Parker a handful of sweatband jobs...

 

[Historyteach24]

I put in a call today. Really on the fence about felt color, ribbon color brim length etc. I look forward to finalizing this order!

 

[Historyteach24]

Super excited to see it. I am putting my order in this evening so the countdown begins!

I'm with you there, I'll likely be placing an order with him early next year; I need a black hat...

 

[Historyteach24]

The only quality hat I own is a black Stetson so I am going to have Parker make something with a little pizazz lol

I also have 2 refurbished Steatson coming in from Parker this weekend. Looks like its going to be an early Christmas. I also have 2 customs Parker made for me. A few weeks ago I ordered an oxblood. Great hats, Great fellow to work with.

I recently ordered one called "The Weekender" from Parker. Pretty much like it looks here

Can't wait. It's the first custom I've ever ordered.

 

[Benzadmiral]

Hmm. To go with my black topcoat, I could use a Falcon in a light grey with charcoal ribbon . . . and a black hat like Jimmy Cagney's in "White Heat". . .

 

[Historyteach24]

Well I just got off of the phone with Parker and let me tell you he might be the easiest person to work with I have ever encountered! I was very nervous about all the decisions I had to make and he was so helpful. Now the hard part is to sit back and wait for the hat to arrive! The felt is in "silver belly" the ribbon which is 1.5 inch in the color "wine". 5 1/2 open crown with a handbashed c (teardrop without the bump in the middle). The brim will be 2 1/2 inches! Gosh I am excited! lol
