Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
LOL! You should know by now to always defer to the missus on maters of style. I should point out, however, that when I posted the photos here the colors turned out a little lighter than they did in the original ones I took: there is more of a grayish tint than is visible here.- KY Crusader

Batsakes Hat Shop in Cincinnati
I'm sorry you've had such bad experiences there. The two times I've been there I was treated well by everyone in the shop. Although the sales ladies did not smile a lot, and did not exactly exude charm, they were helpful when I asked for help and not in the least stand-offish. Of course, one...- KY Crusader

Thanks, Doug! But don't get me started about jealousy, considering that you're within driving distance of all those great hat-makers in Oregon! I do think Natural is a nice color: Seems to go with just about everything put on. But I can attest that bone is great too; and I myself am...- KY Crusader

Post New Hats Here!
Yes, the felt is thinner than on any of the other custom hats I have ordered from other makers. Of course, I did not order my VS in Art Lite, since that option wasn't available for the color I wanted. At any rate, although I gave Mike no directions on pouncing the felt thin, I'm glad it came...- KY Crusader

Batsakes Hat Shop in Cincinnati
Drove to Cincinnati yesterday to pick up this custom from Mr. Miller, which he cranked out in about 2 weeks. I'm calling it my "film noir" fedora. Steel colored beaver felt with a 1 5/8" black ribbon. The Crown is about 5 1/2" when open, and I put in the diamond bash myself (I think it may...- KY Crusader

Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.
Just arrived this past Tuesday. Natural undyed beaver felt with a 1 3/4" ribbon in Kangaroo (a type of a tan). Crown height is 5 1/2" when open; brim width is 2 5/8". The overall idea was inspired by Mr. Redfokker's 1942 Rose Bowl hat; but the whip-stitched edge treatment was added to the...- KY Crusader

Post New Hats Here!
Two new customs acquired this week. First is from Mike at Northwest: Natural beaver felt with a 1 3/4" ribbon in Kangaroo. 5 1/2" crown when open; 2 5/8" brim width; whip-stitched edge (how cool is that?). Since Mike is such a master of the crease, I had him do the C-crown. Colors are very...- KY Crusader

Now that you've brought up the topic, I should tell you I liked your Rose Bowl hat so much that I'm having Mike make me a clone, but in Natural felt with a Kangaroo ribbon. Should be done in about a month, and I'll be posting it here when I get my hands on it.- KY Crusader

Red: I personally like the hat you've singled out very much. Undoubtedly, the gentleman in question put his own crease in the hat; it is very distinctive. My advise: Show Mike at NW the picture, and ask him if he can create his own interpretation of it. True artistry, IMHO, usually involves...- KY Crusader

I love this thread because I never know what's going to turn up next. I never considered Navy before, but you guys have demonstrated how great it can look. I especially like how the ribbon and binding work with this one! Rodolfo scores again!- KY Crusader
