What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Waiting on my lunch to be served, wearing my new TonyB creation... I just love the lines of this hat, viewed in profile.- Brent Hutto

Steppenwolph, Your hat was somewhat of a model I had in mind. After we had come up with the basic proportions and I had settled on brown (initially it was going to be a grey hat) I saw yours in this thread. Loved the lines and shape it had in profile view. So I told Tony that seeing yours...- Brent Hutto

About the color...I had a realization two days ago. Right after I got the E-mail saying it had been shipped. Of all the colors of ribbon he showed me, this one just look more "right" the longer I looked at the picture. Then after the hat was finished it hit me. The hat and the ribbon have two...- Brent Hutto

Thanks, Eric. I ended up letting Tony "surprise" me with the ribbon treatment. The width and color I picked from among several options he showed me. But after going back and forth for the whole time the hat was being made I had no idea what kind of bow I wanted. So I told him to do whatever he...- Brent Hutto

Post New Hats Here!
Here's my new brand-new Tumwater/TonyB hat (just arrived an hour ago) atop my same old noggin (much older and worse for the wear I must say). and here's a comparison shot of it next to the Borsalino Alessandria that's been my everyday hat for the past two years. A few more photos...- Brent Hutto

My first-ever custom hat, a TonyB creation from the Tumwater Hat Company! Here are some comparisons with my two-year-old Borsalino Alessandria in taupe. P.S. I really should have been patient enough to brush off the few little flecks of lint that accumulated during shipment from...- Brent Hutto

Post New Hats Here!
Man I'm a total sucker for a plain, brown hat of immaculate quality and soft, round lines. That Hückel is as nice a hat as one would ever hope to own and could be worn almost anywhere, for any occasion. Beauty.- Brent Hutto

Need help. From the experts.
I won't touch the "What is and what isn't dressy?" question but when I mentally place that Squatter hat on top of friend bingebob's head as pictured wearing that 3-piece suit, it does not seem to match up well. I'd say a corduroy or tweed jacket with a casual cut would be a different matter...- Brent Hutto

With you on losing the feather. But great brim/crown/ribbon proportions on that one and I don't even like wide ribbons as a general rule.- Brent Hutto

Here's a Dobbs "Guild Edge" recently acquired by bowlerman. I can imagine this hat on you with that suit.- Brent Hutto

Hard to believe this hat and this one issued forth from the same shop in the same month. Miles of pinch or no pinch at all? Wide ribbon or skinny ribbon? And don't get me started on the different bows! That's why they call them "Custom".- Brent Hutto

About the image-resizing thing...I've noticed that photos of hats with a velour finish or really with any sort of nap to the finish at all really change appearance as you mess with the photo resolution. Do the Tumwater hats have a little longer grain to the finish than some others?- Brent Hutto

Do you generally wear your brims turned up? Or is there something specific about this hat that favors the up-all-around instead of snapped-down look? I love that color scheme although with my "gray" beard (it's getting closer to white, actually) it wouldn't work as well on me as on yourself.- Brent Hutto

Well heck, I thought the whole thread had gone tongue-in-cheek. Maybe it's one of those things like brim size and taper...it depends one whose tongue and whose cheek we're talking about...- Brent Hutto

Nah, I'm wearing a hat with a 6" tall, square crown and a 2-1/2" brim. I ought to be safe for tonight.- Brent Hutto

The line between stingy brim and full brim?
Yeah, I thought the question was "stingy" as a generally accepted term. Not "stingy" as a shorthand for "shorter than whatever size I wear". I'm waiting for someone to chime in and say they wear a 3" brim so 2-7/8" is stingy. It's kind of like making the mistake of posting a picture around here...- Brent Hutto
