    Magnoli / Delk HJ

    ...Hey, Gents, just a question: To your knowledge, is everything copasetic with the Magnoli / Delk HJ operation? Can't seem to raise either one with a question re: my address change & an update on my order received by Indy at the end of June... I guess it's only been 3 months; is that...

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    Legend... ...No, (W.C. Fields!), I have not, but am looking for that UPS truck every day! Man, I'm ready to stick some fishing flies in it & hit the river...

    Magnoli AB Herbert Johnson...

    ...A question, gentlemen of knowledge & experience: I have a Magnoli HJ on order (for about one month...Indy reports I'm about half-way there..) Considering that the lid will be re-blocked, re-built, etc., by Steve Delk, would I be correct in assuming, then, that it will be ultimately shipped...

    How Do You Feel When You Wear A Hat?

    The shadow of your hat... ...Yesterday, while walking on a river bank to a different fishing spot, I caught my own shadow, especially of my head and old fedora. This 'reflection' became an iconic-looking 'symbol' of myself..me, but also a better, more honorable me; like looking your best...

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    '57 Legend ...The 'style/name' of this hat was, of course, chosen to reflect the year in which the latest Jones film takes place. It is, I think, an 'iconic' year, connoting all the imagery (film-wise, cars, events) that can romantically be considered "Legendary".

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    'Legend' Spy Photos! ...Hey Dan'l! Spy photos from 'Zone 3' look great...I too, think that straight-sided, tall crown has the best of possibilities, especially with Ken's nimble fingers. (Also like that comment re: 'new softer felt'.) When this eagle lands, it promises to be a 'keeper', as we...

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    '57 Legend...Mighty Fine News! ...Thanks, Daniel. We are all fortunate to have you as the 'eyes and ears' on this topic. Ken highly values his association with you, and I personally think the 'Legend' will be on par with (and better) than the highly-touted factory AB. Crimony, the block...

    Crown perforations

    Perforated Crowns ....I have an Indian-War period regulation slouch hat (1880's), and a perforated 'star' decorates each side of the unlined crown. The hat has a gov. contract stamp on the sweatband, and I can only assume it's purpose was to ventilate. So at least the government thought it was...

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    "Camptown Racetrack 5 Miles Long..." Thank you, fellows, for your kindness and instant brotherhood. Rare these days for a cold call to become such a warm connection. Will definitely post pix of the Camptown '1957' when it arrives. (I just hope I look half as good in it as RBH in his...

    Camptown '1957 Legend'...Excited About It!

    Hello, new member here, L.G. Smith. Illustrator by trade; fishing & hunting magazines and books. It was a combination of excitement over the new IJ film and a desire for a new (old) fishing hat that led me to Camptown Hat Co., and Ken Spassionne's new '1957 Legend'. I ordered one, after a...
