See: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/showthread.php?54314-Black-Sheep-Hat-Works I bought my first hat (and started the above thread) from Bob 4 years ago. He's since also made me a custom Milan straw, and just recently completed two renovations for me. Cannot say enough nice things about Bob... -
Pre-1900 Fedoras?
I bet Bob at Black Sheep could tackle this style. Art Fawcett as well. Some of the western hatters like Buckaroo and Knudsen do broad brim hats with rolled brims that look quite similar too. -
NEW STETSON 2015 Dress catalog
They do actually. It's in the western catalog. Sadly, it's only the addition of a pin to the standard 6x OR model. -
Vintage Silhouettes Custom Hats - Official Affiliate Thread
Oh gosh I nearly called Art to get a second band block from him. If he's making you a hat, there's no reason to not get a band block. -

Delmonico is carrying Doria caps from Italy that were previously sold under the Borsalino label. I have one of the Borso branded wool/cashmere caps and its quite nice. -

What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Thanks for the kind words everyone! Bob certainly did a great job. The binding is indeed original to the hat. Bob hand dyed the new ribbon. The contrast between the two varies depending on the light. -

Redone 40's Stetson Supper Club Homburg, re-done by Bob at Black Sheep Hat Works. More in the BSHW thread. -
Black Sheep Hat Works
Here's a refurb that I just got in from Bob. This hat started out as a 40's Stetson Royal Deluxe Supper Club Homburg. It was a 6 7/8 that I had Bob bump up a size. He replaced the sweat with one of his excellent Ostrich leather ones, added a snazzy new brocade liner, and redid the ribbon... -
Fifty Shades of what in the HELL is she talking about?
Eh, people have always made an "other," the internet merely gives everyone a platform to voice it "anonymously." In the interest of playing devils advocate and giving voice to the other side, other than the single sentence in the OP... -

I don't see why you wouldn't be able to get close. I imagine the original may have had more crown height and the felt would have reacted differently, so the folds might not be quite as tight. -

I havent had that happen by just adding a pinch; but, yes, altering a crease can change how a hat fits. My Stetson 100 is sized large and I can't put my favorite diamond crease into that hat, or it wouldn't fit. For me (i.e. the particular shape of my skull), I've found that going from a... -
Luxuro Finish
Sovereign would be the felt designation in this case. Pics? -
Tell Me This Isn't Normal
two random comments to add to the discussion: 1) The Akubras I've seen are generally well done with regards to the trim. The thing that many find lacking in Akubra hats is a really fine finish. Although the durability of the felt is very high, the pounce job leaves them looking a little rough... -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Ok, here's the actually Premiere Stratoliner that Mr. Deckard was kind enough to hook me up with after reading on here that I had gotten one of the mixup hats that used the incorrect body. Just a simple center dent with a fairly loose pinch. So far, so good with this one. -
Stetson's 150th Anniversary Celebration
Not a Stetson...but just saw they're also releasing a Resistol Rooster Cogburn hat!
