Recapitate Headwear

My wife and I recently had hats made by Todd Fink, lead singer of the band The Faint, and owner of Recapitate Headwear where he makes custom hats.
Our hats were made out of western weight rabbit fur, but he has other felts too including the ability to source beaver felt.
Todd was amazing to work with and answered many emails back and forth as we were landing on our hat designs.
In addition to his many stock designs, he also offers fully custom if you have a hat design in mind.

He also made this video of our hats being made so I could share it here on the forum.

Man I remember the Faint. Might be from that time period when I had a lot of product in my hair and wore a white belt. Just might.

@jordanscollected over the top! I hope they wear as good as they look.

@Mizmazzle thanks and yes we’ve had our Dalmatian for 2 weeks now. He’s a handful and I don’t have any room in my hands with all the other shit we do.
@steelworker trying to get proper wears in. It was a 6 week turnaround and they arrived with the blazing heat we are experiencing now.
MN had 10 days in a row over 90 degrees.

@jordanscollected Phenomenal hats! You both wear them so well! As if I did not dream of being a cowboy from before, I now truly have this on a bucket life list. Great stuff!

Looking good! Haven't heard of the Faint in a long time, think I saw them a couple times back in the day. Now I'm gonna be spinning old Saddle Creek albums all week.

@popvulture Same! bonus points if the belt had metal studs on it!

I think I will. I asked Todd what the current wait times are, so that I can work out how I get it here/pick it up.....
I need a good straw hat for the summer, so I'm thinking this.....

Though, just about everything Todd makes, I like.

@Giles he does make a ton of cool styles. I am in awe of his selection as a one man shop. I already want another one.
I’ve been wearing wearing mine riding this summer when it isn't too damn hot, and it’s been slowly forming to my head. Ready for years of use.
I hope you find one you like.

@landownunder only way to know for certain is to email him and ask. On his page he does list an option to have it sent outside of the country using a separate party to do so.

Now I want this one.
