Hi Casehopper. Love the hat, but must compliment you on that jacket. I guess you never have to choose between the brown or black leather jacket! I really like it.
Daniele, that'll teach me for skim reading. I initially read your post as your hat having been attacked by parasites. I was just...
Thanks. It is a little unusual, but it really produces the profile I wanted. I normally go for diamond bashes, but I already had a steel grey with that bash so wanted something similar but different.
I do wonder if I have too many hats. I'm now getting to the point of having hats in the same...

Many thanks
Greg
Hi
Forgot to post my 'Farewell My Lovely' inspired hat, produced by Mike Miller of Northwest Hats, in this thread. This hat was not supposed to be a faithful replica, but instead a hat built to suit me but taking elements from the screen hat.
Here it is:
There are more pictures in...
My latest from Mike.
I asked him to build me a hat based loosely on the hat Robert Mitchum wore in 'Farewell My Lovely'. I stipulated the ribbon width, and the brim width and style, which I think Mike calls a 'half blind binding'. What I liked were the row of stitches just in front of the top...
