The last time I dealt with them was a few years back when I sent them my black hemp for reshaping ($50.00). When I got it back I couldn't discern any difference at all, and they kept my VS hatbox and sent me a cheap one.
I hope everyone will forgive me for my metaphysical ramblings above. I guess I'm just used to standing in front of people talking for hours at a stretch and am now going through some kind of withdrawal. My son informs me that I was lecturing the cat the other night about her social...
That's largely the way I feel. When Mikael of Hufvud said yesterday on that thread that the best part of getting a custom hat is in the planning and design I agreed with him completely, though it's nice to hold the finished product in your hands and admire the workmanship. I guess I also like...
One dark and rainy evening many years ago, right when I first started working on Wall Street, I was walking down Broad Street with an old fellow from my office, and, just as we were passing the Exchange from the far side of the street, he put his hand on my arm and asked me if I'd ever really...
I've just put through a request for a new custom job with Mikael at Hufvud, but, although I'm currently in pretty good financial shape, I can't help feeling a bit prodigal about it, considering the dire situation in which we all find ourselves. I was wondering if any of you other members were...
I think we'd all like to hear any developments in your business as well as any news regarding the situation with the supply chain in Europe and Scandinavia.
If I had to read one more paper about how "Lady Macbeth is a strong woman," or "Macbeth is obviously suffering from PTSD" I'd be ready for the rubber room. This after I quoted the line,"Shakespeare could have invented Freud, but Freud could never have invented Shakespeare." They have trouble...
I decided to go with the 50X moss green in either a Stratoliner or an Open Road. Really looking forward to it. I just finished grading all my students' papers (less said the better) and will be free for some time. Yay!
Email sent, and you're absolutely right: the planning and designing is half the fun, and I was thinking that, under the circumstances, I could use something to look forward to. Thank God for tax returns.
It was just that malleable look of the felt that attracted me to Hufvud in the first place. The photos reminded me of the nicer vintage hats I've seen (not all that many, as they rarely show up in my size). I'd be interested in hearing opinions on this from other members. Like JJ above, I hate...
