"bounty" or not !
All the best,

(He is the BEST Butcher in the WORLD!) Your exquisite Italian Boater came in the mail
yesterday at about noon-- by 3:30 it was on my friend George-the-Butcher's Gleeful Head!
Look at that smile! He should've been an actor, he often tells me, but cutting meat paid
better(!) And George is always kind to me. I find that butchers are truly the finest
people I've ever met.
Thanks!

Hi Mark!
The Lincoln stovepipe reproduction arrived this morning! It is fabulous! Very
distinguished looking and attractive. I greatly appreciate the workmanship so evident in
the making of this hat. Wow! It is truly awesome! I am indebted to your service and quick
action to send this hat along to arrive in time for me to present the "entire"
ensemble of Lincoln to the 8th graders tomorrow! I have proudly shown it off to many
teachers, including our headmistress. Thank you so much for your craftsmanship, service,
and desire to help school children learn about history in a creative sort of way. I have
taken every opportunity to speak glowingly about you and Baron Hats.Much indebted, My
presentation was a big success! I received many accolades from both students, and adults.
I had to do a second performance because many didn't want to miss it. Thank you again for
creating and mailing the hat in time for last week's performance!
Kind regards,

Dear
Mark,
Thank you! Thank You! Gracias! The hat arrived today at 10 AM! It's perfect and looks
great on my man! Couldn't get him to take it off last night! Never thought we'd find
anyone who could make a custom hat for my man's "special" size head! Take a
look! Here's what a man with a 8 1/2" head looks like in your great hat!

Hey
Mark!
I got the cap today! I love it! I really thank you for helping me out making the cap! I've
been searching for years to have the exact hat that John Lennon wore in "Help"
made, and can't believe all the time and work you did to get the pictures and make it
exactly right! I have wanted this John Lennon cap all my life, and now I have it! You have
no idea how much this means to me. It's just perfect!

expectations!!

Dearest Mr. Mejia,
I read with such interest the story of your journey to find the true craftsmen's of the
"Orzuelo" hand made straw hats for the motion picture "Master and
Commander". I must say, it is a fine film of which I must be the world's most devoted
fan (as I was of the books as well), and thought I just must have several of these hats
for my collection. They have just arrived (beautifully packaged, I might add), and they
are more than I could ever have dreamed. You were so right to be so detailed of the master
weaving techniques. They hats are true works of art, and each one must have taken months
and months of work to create. I feel so honourned to be in possession of them, and will,
in time purchase the entire set! They also make magnificent gardening hats, I have
discovered to my delight! These are a true treasure, and if it wasn't for your Herculean
efforts to make them available to the general public, there would be no other place
on Earth to obtain such great creations, long thought to be a lost art!
Very Sincerely Yours,
--G.I.

| Dear Mark:
It came! It is an absolutely amazing hat! I can almost imagine how Audrey
Hepburn must have felt the first time she saw hers. I can see why you would want to
wait for the feather- it wouldn't be quite the same without it, though it would still be
an amazing hat. Thank you so very very much for all the effort and care which
you and your staff put into all three of the hats. I could almost feel the care
because all three hats seem to speak "We are not made on an assembly line!
Real people made us and it took concentration and creativity to make us look and fit
just right.
Thank you so so much.

Dear Mark:
I
just wanted you to know that the tea was an enormous success thanks to you. Everyone
was wild about the hats, especially the one which only I was daring enough to wear- the
one with the ostrich feathers. It set the tone for the party as people entered
because they quickly realized that we were not trying to be stiff and formal and snooty
and that we were all there to just have fun. Everyone looked so good in their hats
that we all agreed that it was a tradition that needed revival! One of the husbands
with whom I spoke this week said that he wishes that women would wear hats again. We
decided that we would get several couples together and go out to dinner periodically with
the women all wearing hats (something more modern than the ostrich feather type hats) and
see if it catches on. I will be soon making another visit to your website for a more
modern hat. I am not normally a trend-setter, so I can't promise anything!
Thank you again so so much.

Mark,
I love the Lover! Never saw the movie, but saw the hat on your website and
just had to have it. I knew it would be beautiful, but the workmanship is sensational. My
head never really works with hats, even though Ive always wanted to wear them, but
your special personal service and working with me to make sure it fit just right paid off
and it fits like a glove. Thanks so much for everything! I love it!

ARE SELECTED BITS OF PRAISE FROM SOME OF THE MOST FASTIDIOUS CRITICS IN THE WORLD
THE ULTRA-FANS OF THE INDIANA JONES MOVIES.
MANY
OF THESE FILM AFICIONADOS HAVE PURCHASED OUR CLIFFHANGER
HAT, WHICH IS A CLASSIC 1930'S FEDORA (BARON HAT'S FOUNDER, EDDIE BARON MADE THE
ORIGINAL FEDORA FOR THE MOVIE), AND FRANKLY WE WERE ANXIOUS TO HEAR THEIR
COMMENTS.
THEY DONT MISS A THING, AND IT HAS TO BE JUST PERFECT!
SO
-- HERES THEIR JUDGMENT: |
|
Mark,
The Baron's is well done! Mine felt like and 'old and trusted friend' from
word go! If you like the well up-turned TOD/LC - look, this is the hat for that! Great
quality fur and super considerations by Mark (hat maker)! It looked broken in from the
time it came out of the box. And, with just a bit of wear -- well, the rest is history! I
could not be more pleased with this 'Indy' investment! I have always been partial to the
'lift' on the brim in TOD/LC and out of all my Indy-style fedoras, this one delivers this
trait the best. If you look up from this writing to the 'shadowy image of Indy -- above',
you will get a good idea of how this hat looks in shadows and reflections. Plus, I had an
excellent customer/provider relationship with Mark throughout the hat building process.
When you get an opportunity check out the IndyGear forum web site. I had the chance to
respond to a 'gearhead' who had questions about your hat(s)...hope you like what I posted.
Again! Thank You! I had the hat with me all day today (along with my Wested Horsehide Last
Crusade Jacket)...they look super together! You are hot! Great workmanship and a distinct
pleasure to have had you build this style of 'Indy' for me. I will always treasure this
hat! All regards!
--W.C.
(Topeka, Kansas)
Mark:
First of all...you are a pleasure to work with. The "Cliffhanger" was delivered
on time and is styled and cut to my specifications and it already feels 'lived in'! I have
never purchased a new hat (custom or otherwise) before that looks and feels broken in! It
has that spark of a hat that has already seen some action and in the short time I have had
it, it already feels like a trusted friend! Now that...is truly unique in this day and age
of make it, break it, throw it away-items! I am certain that this new, but seemingly old
friend and I, will have many wonderful adventures together! Thank you so much for your
touch of class to a classic fedora! Indy would be proud!"
--C.W III (Bosman, MO)
Mark,
I just opened the box a few minutes ago. Colors: Rich chocolate brown w/ black
ribbon. If it was dusty, I'd say right on the money. Texture: Feels great. Very soft to
the touch.
Heft:
Feels substantial. Not too heavy but much better than most store bought lids. Shape: Brim
generally right, I will be working with the roll on the sides anyway. Crown not
tear-dropped as some had feared. I just took my hand and creased through the back of the
crown to deepen the bash just enough to show from behind. Good pinch and no taper in the
front. Lining: Bright blue. Overall, I'm very pleased!
--T.B. (Atlanta, GA)"
MORE PRAISE FOR THE "CLIFFHANGER" FROM INDY GEAR:

"A fine looking hat. The Brim swoop looks great. The perfect
Temple of Doom hat, which is understandable because I believe that is the
claim of Barons, that they made the hats for that film! |
