Last year I meet a hatmaker from Montana, at a reenactment, that hand-made really nice heavy-weight felt hats. They were 'period' work (ca. 1870s), and cost around $50 apiece. I planned to go back at the end of the day and pick up a hat, but arrived after he'd packed up and left - didn't even get his name!!!
He mentioned that he tours the reenactments and CAS events regularly.
Does anyone know a hatter that fits this description, and if so, can you tell me how to locate him?
Slim chance, but I appreciate any info ya'll might have.
