    This from the styleforum website. Hey, if it's good enough for all those "stylish" people it oughtta be good enough for the rest of us. "A quality hat is designed to protect you from the rain, not to be protected from the rain. A beaver fur hat should hold up fine in the rain, just let it dry...

    It's hard to tell from the picture, but that doesn't look like a factory binding job to me. Could it be that the brim was cut down and rebound?

    Glad to hear you're doing better Tim. The world absolutely cannot afford to lose another hatter. Be well and stay strong.

    Correct Joao. The tools will end up in the hands of a Romanian milliner who is making fine women's hats.

    "Deadwood" hats

    I've just been commissioned to make the "Ellsworth" hat by a polite and courteous hat lover who seems the antithesis of the Ellsworth character. Jim Beaver did an excellent job portraying the foulmouthed, crusty prospector Whitney Ellsworth and I loved it when he referred to anyone he didn't...

    Okay RM, now your comment has me thinking about future marketing strategies. "Custom hats lovingly handcrafted by drunken elves" Can't miss!

    Kind of you to say so Regan. Believe me, I'll never complain about having too much good work to do.

    Admittedly, I could use a few Christmas elves in the workshop. Where are the damn elves when you really need them?

    Longest rounding jack build to date. This one's headed for Romania and will cut a full 10" (25.4cm) brim width. That's a brim size that would make even Joao proud.

    I think that hat is crying out for some type of Hollywood/Poet brim treatment. You know, sort of a Johnny Depp meets Ezra Pound vibe. Sword canes, capes, and dark London alleys. Just an idea for something a little different.

    That particular apron is $135. A bit on the pricey side to be sure, but it should be the last one you'll ever have to buy. As with everything I choose to make, I strive for a quality that will withstand the test of time and get handed down to future generations. Plus, it must be "killer" cool or...

    Nein zu den Lederhosen Bob, however, I can offer you a hand made waxed canvas work apron or a pair of hand stitched leather earth boots from my Cow & Canvas® Clothing Co. enterprise. :cool:

    Finally, an easily answered question. In person it actually looks exactly like this. Anthracite. More black with light colored flecks.

    Just received these fabulous furry beasts from FEPSA today. These are from the Tyrol selection and are unpounced bodies in unspecified, 100% fur. I know these are meant to be pounced by the hatter, but I'm kind of digging them just like they are. Warm and fuzzy. Left to right are Beige, Sand...
