All is well with Mike. I've talked to him. Shoot him an email or try calling him again. He's had a crazy busy summer with the day job, so I can understand the pause in communication. He's making and sending out hats daily, so I wouldn't worry about it.
Call him.
This is a beautiful Dobbs Milan with an incredible pug that I had purchased for the owner of my company. He always makes nice comments about my hats, so I decided to give it a shot and buy something for him. His reaction was a little muted. It went right on his shelf, never to be worn again...
Splendid hat. You look like you could be on a British drama!
David, FYI, your BG Whippet was an inspiration for me to get a bound edge on my Borsalino Savoy!
Great hat! It won't be your last, that's for sure!! :thumb:
A trusty ol' friend!
That's perfect summer weather right...
It is a grosgrain ribbon, pleated and sewed on as a pug. It doesn't have the complimentary hooks that a cotton or silk pug usually have. I really like it.

Thanks, everyone!! I figured I would take my re-furbs to another level and try my hand at hat making. :)
The ribbon matched up really nicely. It's one of a few vintage pieces I got from bond. I took some cues from Borsalino and Cavanagh, respectively, with the multi-pleat cinch and frayed...
Guys, you're all too kind! :thumb: Thank you so much for all of the comments and compliments. I've been putting my blocks and flanges to work. There are definitely more to come... ;)
Stay tuned. :yo:

Here is a new hat that I just finished last week from a pecan beaver hat body. Ribbon is vintage, courtesy of bond, with a 2-pleat cinch. I am a big fan of '30s style hats, so instead of sewing the seam in the back of the sweat, I used high adhesive box tape and gave it an authentic throwback...
Thank you for the comments on my Panama, everyone!
Alan, that Stetson you wore a few days ago is very fine. You looked like you were the shop keeper of the local General Store in the Wild West, or at least the west side of Buffalo. ;)
Way to represent, Jeff. Lookin' gooo-oood. :thumb...
