THE “NO-NAME” COLLECTION
 

 
Hat and Poncho
Sold Separately or as a set!
Inspired by the classic Hat and Poncho 
worn by Clint Eastwood In 
A Fistful of Dollars”  and his 
Man-With-No-Name” film trilogy!
 

There is no other image that personifies the classic western more than the first time we saw “The Man With No Name” “magically” appear out of a wind-devil of dust… his Gaucho style telescope-crown hat, straight brim heavy over eagle eyes which pierced right through you with that permanent trademark squint; a cheroot clenched tightly between pearl white teeth and a dark green poncho draped over his tall thin frame. 

 

Yes, this immediate landmark character first blasted into our collective consciousness in Sergio Leone’s groundbreaking “A Fistful of Dollars”, which launched the Spaghetti Western and catapulted a young Clint Eastwood to stardom, and made his “Man With No Name” persona instantly legendary (though true Eastwood trivia buffs will tell you that he’s actually called by the name of “Joe” in the movie!).  Based on Akira Kurosawa's 1961 samurai classic “Yojimbo”, “Fistful” took hold all over the world like a prairie fire as it reinvented the western myth, and spawned a stunning trilogy, with two even more amazing sequels, “For a Few Dollars More” and “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly”, (and of course completed this redefining of the West... sans Eastwood... with what many feel to be Leone’s masterwork and one of the greatest Westerns ever made: “Once Upon A Time In The West”).  Point being… the western was never the same again. Gone was the hero with the righteousness of law and order and making the streets safe for women and children. Instead we celebrated the iconoclastic fiercely independent anti-hero, who believed that it’s every man for himself. However even these nihilistic exercises in adagio-paced lentissimo set-pieces had their own sense of morality. No wonder "No Name" was labeled as "The Good" in the last of the trilogy!

You sometimes had to dig deep through the dung and dirt of a character, but if you found anything resembling a soul lurking deep in the abyss, it usually triumphed, and was always forgiven. Striking too, was a new emphasis on violence, with stylized, almost balletic gunfights and baroque touches that had more to do with Italian Grand Opera (thanks also to the astounding and equally groundbreaking music of Ennio Morricone, who just by coincidence, was Leone’s Elementary School classmate!), than any American “horse opera” ever could attempt. 

The Hat
Baron Hats has been getting requests for this classic hat for years, but Master Hatter and owner, Mark Mejia, did not want to offer it until he found the absolutely right material for the hat and hatband. Mark creates the hat himself in his Baron Hats studio in Burbank, California using a block carved from one of the original Italian/Spanish blocks, and uses only 100% (no blends) Fur Felts or Beavers (depending on what you order), to the exacting specifications of the original. The hat band is hand-tooled leather, crafted exclusively for Baron Hats in Scio, Italy (Mark’s Grandmother was born there, so he has special “pull” to get just the right craftsmen). And if you’d like to have your hat look like you’ve been riding the hot and dusty plains of Spain, or the Wild West, we can “age” it with our patented exclusive “weathering” process, right down to the option of having infamous bullet hole in the crown! (See photo and info on  aging your hat below). All Baron custom hats come with an engraved leather sweatband, silk-satin lining, our special Lifetime Guarantee and a signed and numbered Certificate of Authenticity.
 

Please note: The color of your hat will be just like the original. However, because of the many variances in computer monitors, the color you see on your screen may be slightly different than the actual custom made hat. Rest assured, you are getting the original hat in the original color!

Because these hats are custom made to order, please allow six to eight weeks for delivery. If you need your hat before that, please e-mail us with your special needs to: rushorders@baronhats.com

THE PONCHO

In addition to the countless requests for the "No-Name" Hat,  we've received numerous inquiries as to where the poncho could be acquired as well.  However, Master Hatter Mark Mejia,  wouldn't commit to offering the poncho until he found just the right weaver.  This  poncho in particular had to be tough and resilient, and also have the original "weight", so it could be toss over your shoulder at a moment’s notice to expose gun and blade, whip and homemade bulletproof armor! Mark searched the globe, and found just the right material and weavers in Oaxaca, Mexico. 

The famous local master weavers use indigenous native wool and rare exotic dyes obtained from such natural sources as the grana cochinilla insect, and indigenous flora and fauna like cactus, huizache, rock moss, and even their own coastal sea snails which are captured, milked for their colorful essence, and then returned safely to the sea! Mark worked for months with these craftsmen to create a pattern inspired by the famous poncho of “No Name” movie fame with the unmistakable, and the truly authentic original color: "Deep Dark Forest Green" dye, along with the bone-wash inlay design and hand-knotted trim. 
 

An interesting side note is that there is a bit of controversy about the actual color of the poncho. This came about because at the time of the first movie (at that time, they never thought it would go more than one movie!), they were looking for a "quick return" in profit. Leone was known for cheap "historical epics", especially his Hercules series, and they didn't think this would do more than a quick run around the world (in fact, Eastwood agent at the time was purported to have told him not to do the movie, because he felt it would be the end of his career!). For a budget of about $200,000, they didn't need to have much of a run to make a profit. Therefore they instructed their lab, Cinematiraje Reira in Madrid, to strike release prints with the least expensive stock. Therefore the prints faded rather quickly, and the colors took on all kinds of variations. At times, Eastwood's poncho came off every color from deep brown to blood red! And the confusion continued with posters, newspaper ads, and lobby cards, which also showed him with a rainbow of poncho colors. And it didn't help matters when some of the early crude computer-augmented prints showed all kinds of color combinations. However Baron's went back to the rare original production stills to find the actual color. And, when the Autry Museum of Western Heritage had their "Leone" exhibit, the color was authenticated, not only by their experts, but by the widow of Leone's long time designer, Carlo Simi.

Please note: The color of your poncho will be just like the original. However, because of the many variances in computer monitors, the color you see on your screen may be slightly different that the actual custom made poncho . Rest assured, you are getting the original poncho in the original color!

DELIVERY TIME: To insure quality, every poncho is hand-woven-to-order, so please allow at least eight weeks for delivery. If you just must have it sooner, please e-mail you needs to us at: 
rushorders@baronhats.com, and we will be happy to let you know if it's possible and what the additional Rush Charges and Shipping charges would be to get it to you for that special date!
