I'd like to show you, a dress weight, Staple Rabbit, Winchester felt. This went to an old lounger, who don't come around here much anymore. Color is granite with truest of true, vintage grosgrain that I've sourced over the years.

I had a desire to make a hat, that I had seen on line, when I was looking for vintage inspiration, and it is, in photo 1.
This hat size 7-1/2 which, I built for inventory, is Winchester Staple Rabbit, in Silverbelly. I gave it a tight, raw, 5/8 curl.
Staple hare, has been a topic recently...

I saw him several times, an amazing bluesman, who really, truly knows how to work the crowd.

I had been contacted by them, on Instagram. And all I can say, is that, I can't judge leather by a picture, and can't tell, from what part of the hide, they are cut out from or what animal they come from or if they have blemishes or scaring.
The leather, we have here in the US, from one...

Eric, I appreciate the thought you've given in you response. Much good thought put here, and with a few things for me to explore in the near future. I'm glad, the initial liner logo is feeling proper, to everyone. Thanks Eric! Definitely absorbing everyone's words on what is, a very important...
Daniele, I appreciate the words. My mother's family, came from Italy. I remember as a boy, being at the homestead, not much English was being spoken. I remember some dapper gentlemen, friends of my Uncle, would come to gather. So, I thought about things of that nature, as I was thinking through...
On this one there will be piping going around the liner seam, at the tip. And I am leaning toward Gray, for the piping. I might Two tone, and build the black tip, onto a white side wall. Any thoughts on that appreciated ??
Thanks!! Tim

I just want to share my trademark proof with everyone. All hats comissioned in 2018, will have the Official Alley Kat, branding. This is a tip only, just placed into a crown for a photo. Hoping for some good positive feedback. Thank you for looking, for liking and making a comment.
