I'm thinking of getting a new hat to replace rabbit fur felt I bought from a non experience hatter in my home town (it was a low price tag of 130$ anyway).
Thinking of switching it up and I am usually partial to the pinch but thinking of a modified telescope crown with a bit of a an angle so...
I don't have photos of me with the hat (I keep forgetting when I have it on) but I got a beautiful mid grey OR Stetson 3X from the 50s from Bowen and it's so so soft and beautiful I love it!! I was surprised because my first hat here was the Stetson 7x OR silverbelly (I started my hat collecting...
Got my swatches from Michael. I think I may go with the silvermist to change up my collection, it's that or the silverbelly (his silverbelly is a lot more cool toned)
I don't tend to bike in the rain and avoid puddles. I am a super occasional short distance under 20 minute bike ride in only good condition kind of city cyclist.
I got this idea I think off another fedora lounge member when I was digging through forum posts. This is for short term transport like when you're out and about or in my case when I'm biking around. It works very well. Took an old lanyard from an event pass from work and looped it around the...
ya I might just go with Silver Mist, need to see the samples which I hope to get this week. It seems to be an off white type of colour but cooler tones.
how did you do that? I have a few pins with the regular backing I'd love to attach to my hats but haven't figured out how. I figured I could somehow cut the pins with sharp pliers with the shears, and then perhaps buy something like this
Michael sent me some samples so I'll be able to choose and start the process, although if the color of the felt varies (which is normal since it is natural materials) then chances are that the colors I'm deciding on may vary anyway and the colour name isn't as important as in real life which I...
Reviving an old thread.
So I have some hats on hooks like these
And I have 4 of these hooks that have been sitting in boxes for 4 years, that I was thinking of using for my hats.
I'd use the 3 biggest ones, which are 2 x 1" diamter, 1 x 0.75" diameter, the last one which is tiny 0.5"...
oh good to know for the granite.
I can't remember if it was Art or another hatter that people were saying it takes a long time to get their order?
On another note, where does Art get his felt from? I'm asking because I'm in Canada and I think if everything is manufactured in the States...
I may go with the granite actually, it seems to be a very light grey. I'm just stuck on that lighter sand beige colour because I saw it like that initially and got stuck on that - and the style is a bit more western than dress so beige/sand works. However, I would love to diversify my collection...
oh lucky! He seems like a really great guy and an amazing craftsman, unfortunately he hasn't been too responsive to my emails. I messaged Gannon, Honrskov, Tatton, to obtain more information and start the process. Only Gannon has been responsive so I shall go with him.
Can't wait to see the hat!
What's winchester?
From what I could tell off the swatches, Gannon's silverbelly was a lighter beige and more grey tones in it (a more cool silverbelly) but not quite as cool coloured as the silver mist. I really don't want to get another beige ish hat and want a light grey but.. I find the...
I have a few wide hooks I use, on the left the round ones of different sizes I got from CB2, and on the right, 3D printed ones you may find here:

And this is what it looks like, on the right I'm doing a zig zag pattern, I need my coworker to print some...
