I wish I was disciplined enough to stop buying beater $20 hats and save up for this one. Love it!
I'd like to show you, a dress weight, Staple Rabbit, Winchester felt. This went to an old lounger, who don't come around here much anymore. Color is granite with truest of true, vintage grosgrain that I've sourced over the years.
Non-instagram users, a Web browser search using the hash tag, puts you at the portfolio. Type it like so. #alleykathatcoI'm excited to share my finished work, because I know that many here do not use Instagram. So, I'd like for you to know me; who I am, and what I do. #ifeltyourhead
Through simple communication, another perfect fit.

Bob thanks for the good words. It's not that many beater hats, to pass on, to end up with a build like this.I wish I was disciplined enough to stop buying beater $20 hats and save up for this one. Love it!
I've been thinking the same thing. I do get enjoyment out of fixing up a hat that still has some life in it. But it would be nice to wear a top notch hat like that one.I wish I was disciplined enough to stop buying beater $20 hats and save up for this one. Love it!
Indeed, when one has desires to fix up and refurbish a hat, it serves a few good purposes, and it keeps your mind happy and in a good place, especially during the dark days of winter, it's all good when you engage your mind into a craft or hobby !I've been thinking the same thing.

Tax return time...so order one, you will thank yourself so much and then wonder why you waited so long!?!I've been thinking the same thing. I do get enjoyment out of fixing up a hat that still has some life in it. But it would be nice to wear a top notch hat like that one.
You will have a box heading your way in a day or so....you know me, always having to deal with one "event" after another....never seems to end...LOL!Indeed, when one has desires to fix up and refurbish a hat, it serves a few good purposes, and it keeps your mind happy and in a good place, especially during the dark days of winter, it's all good when you engage your mind into a craft or hobby !
And thanks for the good note, on the build!
I appreciate that very much.

Cindy I do indeed hear you, on the "events" and will watch for the box. The weather has been super extream, windy and subzero, finally it is letting up a little. Good thing you did not send it last week, it might have blown clear to Jersey, and landed in Ant's yard!! The Western winds were unbelievable.You will have a box heading your way in a day or so....you know me, always having to deal with one "event" after another....never seems to end...LOL!
Maybe, we'll see.Tax return time...so order one, you will thank yourself so much and then wonder why you waited so long!?!
+1Always impressed with your work,super hat.
that is one stunning creation, wear it proudly! great work, TimThis anxiously awaited custom arrived a couple days ago (finally getting around to posting it up and taking a few pics) from Tim at Alley Kat Hat Co. Right out of the box to my head it fit like a glove, best fitting hat I have! Tim’s sheepskin sweatband (shown in natural and already showing some patina) felt subtle and superb (wore the hat most of the day today and it felt like the hat was not even on my head). For this build I chose staple rabbit that has a perfect stiffness and the pouncing on this hat is impressive. Tim is a great guy and easy to talk to and a pleasure to work with. He sends pics thru the process and includes you in any decision making to make sure you are satisfied with your 100% custom handmade hat. I would absolutely definitely order another and would urge anybody considering either their first custom or next custom to give Tim a try, you won’t be disappointed. Now for the specs:
Open Crown: 5 7/8”
Brim: 2 5/8” Snap Brim
Felt: Pecan Staple Rabbit
Ribbon: Brim (1/2”) and Crown Vintage “copper” (15/16”)
A few pics, they speak for themselves….
