Black Sheep Hat Works
Thanks for the recent compliments fellas. To give a quick answer to the cost of a refurbish, they can range anywhere from $20 and up. It just depends on the hat. Like Mike said, when in doubt give me a call. If we can save an old hat, I am happy to do it. -
Heather and Yon...
Heck of a find Steve. I am so glad it ended up with Garrett and I got to see it in person. This might be the new top of my list for hats I wished I own. When I saw you post it I was so pumped I sent Garrett a message in hopes he could score it. Just an Awesome hat! -
Why are liners sewn or glued to felt fedoras?
WOW!! That was a great article -30-. It may derail this thread but I am so glad you posted it. This explains so many pairs of mid level shoes that I have been upset by. I do agree with the rain resistance as I am a year round dress shoe wearer in the rainy northwest and have benefited from... -
Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread
That sounds like a blast Art! Sadly next weekend we are set to volunteer with the Olympic national park for some research, so we won't be able to make it down. I have a trip slated to Bend early next month, if we can fit it in I would love to try and swing over to meet up. I hope it goes great... -
Why are liners sewn or glued to felt fedoras?
I'll back you up on that Steve. I would guess, as time went on and factories were cutting cost, less expensive satins were employed. Not only are they heavier in weight but their thicker nature allows the use of glue. Earlier materials were finer and would certainly allow the glue to show... -

Why are liners sewn or glued to felt fedoras?
Again, the point actually comes down to quality of construction. Early on I had many customers request the lining to be removable, and so, for a while I did not sew liners into the hat. That is all good and well, but liners can easily get shaken out in the mail or dislodged in many other... -

Black Sheep Hat Works
It is quite possible that this is just after Garret discovered a hole in the front of a Malloy Ten he was bringing to drop off. Dark times my friends...dark times. -
Black Sheep Hat Works
Nice shot Mike, but Holy smokes, we look so serious!? On a side note, the "Free Estimates" sign in the drive way is a awesome addition, and the lighting on the hats is great. Another Wonderful visit, if you'll pardon my pun :) -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Sorry to say guys, but $1000 is quite often an average starting price for a working one. So $1025 is a pretty decent price. And remember, without the matching formillion, it's kind of pointless to own one. -

The School of Hard Knox
Yes, the lighter color is mostly sun fading. The dark color matches the inside of the hat. I do like the lighter color though. -
Vicuna and Shahtoosh hat felt
I have rebuilt a Vicuna Churchill 100. Tough as nails while trying to re block it. It was soft but had a very short smooth finish, so it would be hard to say if I thought it was exceptionally softer than beaver. As a side note, I do have a source for cashmere bodies and I have run them by many... -
Vintage Ventilation
Here is an ad for Dobb's version. My Knox lacks ventilation in the sweatband which I feel will cut down on its effectiveness, but still interesting. -
Vintage Ventilation
Here's one that matches Alan's. I have been hoping to find one of these for a while, as I wanted to see its construction. Sadly this one is a little small for me but I am pretty excited to have found it. It is in great shape and has all it's original parts Also posted this in the Milan and...
