Thanks... I'm from Naples, but now I'm on holydays on eastern Calabria...

My Name is Andrea (in Italy is only a male name). Coppola is my surname ;-)

Benvenuto alla Fedora Lounge, Andrea. I wish I was in Calabria right now.

I've been busy, and injured. Last week i shaped the hats for James Franco's movie he's directing of Faulkner's book As i Lay dying, thats starting production. These 4 hats will be on the main characters of the Movie, definately excited to see hats i shaped on the big screen. Heard this morning that the costume designer loved the way i shaped the hats, and is fitting the hats to each character.
Pulled my back 2 days ago, today is the best i've felt, so forgive the thermal shirt. I wanted to share my new Sunbody hat i shaped by hand and a forming tool.

I can't decide if i'm going to cut my facial hair to just a mustache, any opinions?

I'm working on getting a boater hat made at the shop, we will see.

Diamond Quality Hat. Made for the Amish market, originally with an optimo crown. Nice tall straight sided crown- given a soak and a center dent.

excellent lid, and amazing guitar.

Simonds - another fine looking cap! I will send you some wool tweed as I gather it, you deserve some more raw material to keep up the good work.

I have made a few for some friends yes.

Alan, you have a wonderful collection of Straw Hats, This Knox looks really good on you!

Steve, very exclusive the Glunz, fine straw weave for a boater!

Case, the hitchhiker is a great Hat, I love how this fur felt looks!

David, the Borsalino is on the way, ( I hope ).

Coppola, welcome, nice photo and Hat!

Coble, cool shape, I like it!

Mike, your Stetson 100 is a great Hat and you wear it well!

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you for the kind replies... they are much appreciated!

Coble, that sounds like an exciting project - congratulations. Hope your back heals quickly. 600 mg of ibuprofen has always helped me.

Mike, good to see you - the 100 looks swell.
