Felt or straw? Morgyn at Strawbenders has some LOVELY straw bicorns. They may not be on his website, but his contact info is: http://strawbendersltd.com/strawbendersltd/ Claudine From: C.

Re: [h-cost] Looking for a Bicorne hat
I've used Jas. Townsend Son for felt hat blanks and have been very happy. I've used them in shows (The Rivals, The Country Wife, etc), but they are garment quality. Townsend Son are serious reenactment outfitters. They have made-up tricorns, but bicorns are easy enough from the blanks, which come in actual hat sizes. http://jas-townsend.com/product_info.php?cPath=6products_id=249 Hope this helps. --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer On Aug 22, 2012, at 11:21 AM, annbw...@aol.com wrote: I need to find a good bicorne hat, for an XL head (7 7/8).

Re: [h-cost] Looking for a Bicorne hat
I've never bought a bicorn from HatCrafters (http://hatcrafters.com/page5.htm), but I've bought other hats from them, and been satisfied.

Re: [h-cost] Looking for a Bicorne hat
I used Hatcrafters for years before my retirement and was always pleased...except for the one time I ordered a 'blank'...no enough wool fiber. The bicorn comes in a couple of different models...great for stage and can be customized for personal use. Great folk to work with if you need something a 'little off track. You can get sized hats from generic small and over size 8!! The HatCap Exchange Co. (used to be 'related') is a great source for Production hats...Not especially of near quality of felt products but very good looking for One Occasion Production use. -Original Message- From: Chris Bertani chris...@goblinrevolution.org Sent 8/22/2012 1:21:26 PM To: Historical Costume h-cost...@indra.com Subject: Re: [h-cost] Looking for a Bicorne hatI've never bought a bicorn from HatCrafters (http://hatcrafters.com/page5.htm), but I've bought other hats from them, and been satisfied.
