He was featured in an article on Tennessee Crossroads, a travelogue about interesting people and places here in the Volunteer State. Not sure if there's any way to watch it online, but NPT (Nashville Public TV) might have it online. Fascinating; I wonder how much of Mr. Moore's fedora business comes from FLers (me included, look in my History, the fawn OR is his masterful work. Toss it on and it fits like it was MADE for me).

I missed it. Hope to catch it next time it airs in the Memphis area.

 

[Spats McGee]

Damn. Sorry that I missed it.

I wonder if this might show up on youtube sometime soon.

They did tell me that the video will be on the web site once it has shown, it may take just a few more weeks before it gets on there, I saw it Thursday night while in Nashville, in Memphis it was not on, but will show here maybe next week.

I liked what they did, wish I was in the new shop when they filmed, but, it looked great in the old shop.

Let us know when it's available online. I'm looking forward to seeing it.

 

[Blackthorn]

Interesting! I hope I get to see it some day.

Very cool! It is always great to see a piece about a true artisan.

I believe I found this video a while back on the Buckaroo Hatters facebook page, and it was taken while still at the Major's older location.

In fact, if you look at the bottom of the Youtube link in the comments section, you can see my comment (username: "Imsoangry") from before I was about to head to Buckaroo Hatters in the beginning of January!
