HATS OFF!

Customer Satisfaction is Our TOP PRIORITY...
We're Always Proud to Hear We're Doing It Right!!

Mark,

Just a note to let you know how much I like my BOSS HAT. I
appreciate the time and patience you and your staff gave me.
One week after this picture was taken, this colt bucked me off in a roping chute. Broke my neck, busted my spleen. I have had two operations since the accident and I am permanently disable due to my injuries. When I was laying in ICU, 100 stitches in my head and hand
on DEATH'S DOOR, my wife said the first words I said was:
"WHERE IS MY HAT?!"

Thank you, and God Bless you,
--D.H.

Bastrop, LA

NOTE: And God Bless you! Stay well and safe! And thank you
for one of the biggest "grins" we've ever received from reading a letter from one
of our customers!

Dear Mark,

I just received my Tom Petty replica today. When I opened the box & there it was, well, all I could think of was when I wrote to you and said to make it "exactly like the one Tom Petty wore in The Traveling Wilburys". You created just that: an EXACT replica of the hat!

Everything about the hat is flawless. Every aspect of its craftsmanship, brilliant. The fit, the feel, the beautiful balance. I know I say this every time, but every one of your custom hats surpasses the last! But you do just that.......keep making them better & better. I'm so very impressed with how this hat turned out. And I love the "aging" you did! Thank you for paying so much attention to all the details that I gave. You did everything as I explained. EVERYTHING! I am so very pleased & incredibly proud to say that this is my hat created by a true master hat maker & his extraordinary team! Please pass on my gratitude to all those involved in the process. A huge thank you to you all! It's been an absolute pleasure again, Mark. There really is nothing finer than a Baron Hat. They're simply the very best! And there is nowhere else in the world I would go to but Baron.

Until next time.....

Regards,

Mark,

The New "Kid Rock" style custom hat you made for me arrived yesterday, just as you promised! It exceeds all expectations. The first store I went into today, a gent called out: "Great Hat"!
Thanks!

I received your “ Dr. No Trilby” and I think it is just great! I wanted to let you know I wear your hat all the time! Thanks again,

NOTE: From the serious and professional look of "C.S.", and the equipment in his office, we are very glad he likes the hat! I have a feeling you would not want to make him, or the "organization" he seems to work for angry!

Mark,
Here is a photo of me wearing the "Silver Bullet" hat that you custom made for me. It looked beautiful! I can't thank you enough! I wore it while riding a dear friend's "Silver" horse in front of a parade of dozens of actual K.I.T.T. cars at the Knight Rider Festival on Fremont Street in Las Vegas surrounded by hundreds of cheering KR fans. What a sight that was! On behalf of the entire KRF staff and myself I want to express our sincere appreciation for your support and help in making 2010 Knight Rider Festival such a success. So much so, that we are doing it again next year. The 2011 dates for Knight Rider Festival are Friday/Saturday March 18-19, 2011!

PS. This photo was The Las Vegas Review Journal Photo of the day!

Sincerely,

Paul Casey

Hi Mark.

I love the Rocky hat you made for me and wear it proudly as I do my job as the official Rocky Balboa Impersonator in Philly!

All this happened because in 1979 I saw Rocky on TV. I was 11 years old. That movie grabbed my face and shoved it into a journey that has not stopped. I am now 41 and still marvel at the goodness Rocky brings out in all of us.

Through a series of random encounters I ran into Sly Stallone. Each time growing in our length of conversation. Through freak luck I found myself on the Balboa set in Philadelphia. Later in the evening I had a life changing talk. Each of us doing our best Rocky impression. (Guess who won?) In the video, the picture of he and I with our fist up is the result of that evening. Mark, the very special thing here is that he wasn't "SLY" he was Sylvester, a dad, a husband just eating dinner.

Then in September of 2006, I won (as you see in the video) a national Rocky look-alike contest. Talking with Sly again at the Rocky Statue re-dedication. Now that's my job, Rocky Balboa impersonator in Philadelphia. I perform in front of 15 people or 50 thousand.

Thanks for the amazing hat. And to know it was made by the very studio that made the original! You were so very reasonable and helpful! Now it’s time for me to also have you make the brown Rocky Balboa hat as you did for Sly!

All the best,
Mike Kunda

Hi Mark!
What a wonderful day it was for me when my Kilgore hat was delivered to me! I can honestly say there was tears of joy that day. The craftsmanship and attention to detail and also the quality is out of this world! I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart, Mark, for my magnificent Kilgore hat. It is truly a work of art. I want to say to you, Mark, right from the beginning of our friendship you have made my dreams come true, and turned my fantasy into reality. And even though I know how busy you are, you have always taken the time to be there for me with your kind thoughts and words of encouragement, and please believe me this last year the journey for me has been rough, but having your friendship has helped me through that rough trail. I feel so proud having you, Mark, the great Hollywood Hat Maker as my friend! You are a special person to me and thank God for you, may God bless you always.

I hope you like the photo of me proudly wearing my Kilgore .

Dear Mark,

A huge thank you for the "Sons of Katie Elder" John Wayne hat. I was so excited I couldn't wait to give it to my Dad on his 70th birthday. He had it as soon as it was delivered. He is absolutely over the moon with it! As promised I have sent you a picture of my Dad wearing his pride and joy "teaching a lesson" to some other cowboy he met in a bar who is wearing the exact same hat!

Once again thank you so much for an excellent service & hat.

Regards from a very happy family

Wow, wow, wow! Just received my Johnny Depp "Public Enemies" Fedora. Let me just say, Mr. Mejia, you & your team continuously out do yourselves with each order. What an absolutely stunning hat. From the burgundy ribbon to the black & gold silk/satin lining....... Everything about the hat is spot on! It looks like it just stepped out of the 1930s. Crown height, brim width, classic bash, it's just perfect. I am more than impressed & incredibly pleased: I’m yet to take it off! Once again, many thanks for creating a most wonderful article of head wear. I'll definitely be back with another order. I've enclosed a shot of my Baron Hats collection so far (the new Depp hat is right in the middle, above your two custom porkpies!). Every hat surpasses the previous. I am very, very pleased with my Depp Public Enemy fedora. It is truly beautiful....but, hey, all my Barons are! Well, thanks again for your excellent craftsmanship. Looking forward to my next Baron....

Like I always say.....A Baron hat isn't just a hat, it's THE HAT!

Reguards,

I purchased the 100% 200XXX Beaver "Cliffhanger" from Baron Hats. I went with the Beaver felt as I am on the river in my canoe all summer long. Sometimes for a week at a time. I get rained on and occasionally take a spill and go into the water as canoeing can be a hazardous activity. I needed a hat that would hold up to the daily wet conditions I would be putting it through. I will say after many trips on the river this Fedora "Cliffhanger" has held up beautifully. The block has held its shape and the felt is as silky as the day I bought it. In fact the more wear the fedora gets the better it looks. I give Mr. Mejia the highest marks on customer service. I spoke with Baron's Master Hatter, Mark Mejia on more than one occasion. Mr. Mejia’s attitude toward making the perfect hat for his customer is a way of life for him. He refused to let the hat out of his shop until it was perfect. It is rare to get such specialized treatment from the owner of a business of this caliber. I can’t imagine one of the celebrities he caters to getting any better service or receiving any finer hat than Barons provided me. I will recommend them to anyone interested in purchasing from Barons in the future!

Thanks again for such a great job on my Fedora. It is a lid that would make the man that made it famous proud!

Hello all,

I am writing to let you know that I have just received my Jimmy and it is a revelation. The bottom line is the hat is beautiful and skillfully made. Your work is FANTASTIC! Here's a glimpse of the Jimmy in "action". Once again, I thank you for the craftsmanship and the beauty of the final product. I do not go a single day wearing it without being complimented on it. You have my highest recommendation.

I can't take the hat off!!! I'm looking for every excuse I can to wear it!

Hi Mark ,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your kind words and sincere support.

When I wear my Baron custom made Rio Westerly hat, it fills my heart with pride and sense of dignity knowing that it was made by the Master Hatter for all the stars in the real Wild West movies! Why bother with the rest, when only Baron Hats are the best!
God bless you, Mark and all at Baron Hats.
Love and best wishes always,

Dear Mark,
“GERONIMOOOOOOOO !!!!”

No, that’s neither the 101st Airborne Paratroopers’ jump
cry, nor Jerry Lewis testing a microphone in the movie “The Ladies Man”. But it’s the title of a movie directed by Walter Hill in 1993 starring Jason Patrick, Robert Duvall, Gene Hackman and Matt Damon. This Western tells the story of a US horse soldier in the late XIX Century, towards the end of the Indian Apaches wars. My hat is a replica inspired by the hat worn by Jason Patrick as Capt. Gatewood. THANK YOU VERY MUCH MARK for your kindness and impeccable job in making that hat. Remembering our cool meeting at Baron Hats booth during the 2008 Paris Western Show.
Sincerely,

G.B., Aosta, Italy

Hey Mark,
I wear my "Yuma" every day and there is not one person that I meet who doesn't make a comment about it! Especially when I ride my stagecoach through town! I have told everyone that has inquired, where to get one. Thanks so much. I just love the hat!

Dear Mark,
I received my Henry Fonda (as "Frank") hat from "Once Upon A Time In The West", this past Thursday, and it's everything I hoped for. I've already worn it around town yesterday while doing errands, etc, and I can assure you of the numerous compliments I'd gotten, usually beginning with the phrase "I like your hat!" (One woman actually professed a love for it. Its true! I was standing in line at the local Shoppers food supermarket.) Another, a young man, said "now THAT'S a hat!" Its a perfect fit, right color, and an exact replica of the one worn by Henry Fonda, right down to the rope band (see the production shot of the hat that I sent). The Beaver material feels like silk. Its perfect (not to overuse the word) in every way. I plan to make this rope band hat the one I wear daily, and the other black one you made for me last year (that Fonda wears at the end of the movie), will be my special occasion hat. You can believe me when I say to you that I'm pleased to no end with the work you've done. If anyone were to ask me where to get the perfect custom hat, you can be sure my answer is going to be: "Contact Mark Mejia, C/O Baron Hats, Burbank, Ca. He'll set you up right!" Again, my heartfelt thanks.

Regards,

“Mark,
I’ve received my Pork Pie Hat today. It’s perfect and will surely bring a lot of inspiration to my music. No wonder why that distinctive hat has been an all time favourite among some of the greatest past and present Jazz musicians; It has to hold some of ”That Old Black Magic” onboard! Thank you!

Mark,
My “Rawhide” hat couldn’t be a more authentic drover’s hat. It has it all: The permanently encrusted dust from miles and miles of trail rides, the hat band saturated with sweat from hard work under the sun, and just the right level of felt wear to make you believe you’re owning a bit of the Legend. You are a Master Forger… Cut 'em out, ride 'em in !

Dear Mark,
That one-of-a-kind leather hat band really makes the “Winchester Wind Devil"
an outstanding piece of art. Its two faux turquoise Conchos are like small pieces of blue sky captured on the hat in perfect harmony with its fawn color.

I understand the “Winchester” and the “Wind” in the name, but where’s the “Devil” in this hat!?

Dear Baron Hats Team,
"...It's time for a cowboy to dream. Purple line, in the canyon,
That's well I want to be,
With my three good companions,
Just my rifle, my poney and me.
I gonna hang my sombrero..." (Dean Martin's song)

A Bravo for the Rio's ! My Rio Bravo hat is so realist that we could believe it's the authentic one ! It fits me well, but I don't understand why I don't look like John Wayne and I don't see his face when looking in the mirror !?
I am very impressed with the high quality and the growing old, a splendid and beautiful fashion. That's the top. Well done for your job. Thank you very much.

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!

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,

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 I’ve 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!

The ‘Snatch’ hat is hot! Don’t know how you did it, but it’s perfect, and even though you just made it, you did that ‘aging’ thing and it looks like and feels like I’ve been wearing it for years like a your favorite pair of boots. I’ll be back for more!

Mark,
I’ve been searching for years for someone to make me a custom collapsible top hat. Your price was very reasonable, and the satin-silk hat is made like in the old days. This attention to detail and skill is a lost art… but found at Barons!

Baron Hats!
Just received the Bruce Willis “Whole Ten Yards” hat! It’s right off the screen, like in the movie and fits like I was born in it! Now if only I looked more like Bruce Willis or had Amada Peet in my convertible, I’d be the happiest man in the world. You are true craftsmen!

Baron Hats:
I’m never taking off the “Monster Hat’. This is a true work of art, and I know I’ll be able to pass it down to my grandson, when I have one! Everyone asks me about this hat, and can’t believe I have it, since they think I took it off Van Helsing myself!

Baron California Hats:
The authentic straw “Boaters” just arrived. They are everything you said they’d be. I’m so use to cheap “Styrofoam” flimsy boaters, that I had forgotten how heavy and solid a real boater is! And what fun to wear! You put it on, and it’s like you’re tall and thin and are ready to take on the world. Now everyone wants one in the office, so be prepared!

HERE 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 DON’T MISS A THING, AND IT HAS TO BE JUST PERFECT!

SO -- HERE’S 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!

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!"

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!

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!”

	“It's great to see the ‘Cliffhanger’. It looks like a great addition to our vendors. An extraordinary hat…a great purchase!”
	“…has Temple of Doom written all over it. It would probably make a decent Raiders hat All in all not a bad lookin' hat!”
	“I couldn't agree with you guys more... just screams Temple of Doom! looking very much like the hat he puts on in Lao Che's plane. While Temple of Doom was never my favorite movie, I'm way into the gear of TOD than TOD, so maybe I'll have to consider one of these puppies!”
	"...it looks great!! The brim curl looks a lot like the Venice dock scene in Last Crusade.... Nice lid!…It's very soft to the touch. It's not cowboy stiff, but 'it's not floppy either. It can easily be worked.”
	"The ‘Cliffhanger’ Fedora is perfection. It’s so beautiful, frankly I’m afraid to wear it, and think I’ll just put it in the display case I also bought and just look at it, next to my other ‘Indiana Jones’ collection. I even look like Indiana with this on, if I’d just shave off my mustache: “Shorty, where's my razor?”
