Art did the hats for a couple of the actors in "Catch Me If You Can". He still has costumes and hats actually used in this film..(as well as Seabiscut). The "stingy brims" from the 60's era are plentiful.

Hello:
to set the record straight ,I did all the principals hats for Mary Zophries the costume designer fo Catch Me if You Can (BRolin ,Hanks) . I hope this corrects the record on Hanks hat .

That's great. Have any pictures of the hats and their stars. Just the hats themselves might be good too.

Regards to all,

Strider,

Click on the Tom Hanks link.

James Brolin liked them so much, he had Dave make one for him.

I made all the hats for every movie ever made...

that had hats in it. Now, let me find my pictures...

Here's one of The Dukes favorites...



I call that my Roadkill Special...go to my website and order one. For $500 I'll send you one just like The Dukes.

And who could ever forget all the wonderful hats in the acclaimed movie 'Deliverance'?



What a hat, and very difficult to find. Send me $350 and I'll run to Wal-Mart and get you one.

I'm just so freakin tired of rookies taking credit for my fine work.

Looks like the Duke needed a better toupe!

BB, LOL, LOL, LOL! :)

"The Roadkill Special" looks like a winner to me. BB -- did you also do the hats for the western classic, "The Terror of Tiny Town" (worth a look on imdb.com)?

That should settle it, now shouldn't it? If you don't believe me go to my website where I will tell you again. www.bragginghatmakingcreditstealer.com[/QUOTE

Dear BB :
Neat criticism , Quite obviously you have never done anything that you never worked very very hard for and finally succeeded. Succeeding in the way that you are recognized as one of the best and YOUR work is appreciated through out the world .
Then you get people who havent paid their dues taking credit for work they havent done (talk to Mr White or Optima ) that really upsets me!! . if you think that I am a braggart , FINE !! if you think I am an Egotist FINE !!
I know what I have accomplished and I am proud as all hell about it,and I will be overly possessive about it.
You gotta problem with that , tough [EDIT]#*$&[EDIT] !!

I think Dave you may be upset that other hatters are getting credit for having hats in movies when you should get more credit because you hatted many of the principles.

It is true that little is known about your hats on this forum as not that many people here own or have seen one of your hats... that hopefully will soon be rectified.

Welcome to the forum Dave... and I want everybody to please be a bit more civil when posting.

My mistake Dave! I saw a box of hats and Art said he supplied the movie. He also had a dress or two, maybe some suits, used also. I guess I just thought he did all the hats. I know Hanks uses you exclusively, but failed to mention it. Sorry about stealing the show ;) :cheers1:


To some of the other posters here, the scarasm is not called for. Dave is a great guy and NEW to this forum. We WANT him here, so I am ending this thread now.
