Alley Kat Hat Co

Tim is moving along. Progress report. Thanks Tim!

Looking at the raw edge of this hat picture, it almost looks as if this is a heavy western stiff felt hat body. Although it most likely is not, it makes me think the hat bodies being used are some "tuff" ones not for whimps! Haha!

Kevin, aka: ChicagoWayVito..... here's your finished hat brother, looks yummy.......hope you like it.

My Husband has been sitting looking at this hat for a long time. Finally he thinks a name that may work. "The Dream"!

I like it too. Lets face it, when anyone desires to have another hat and one that is sharp looking, what do you do? You dream about owning it! Day dream, drool, covet, can't stop thinking about it.

That hat right there is really a dream hat. (You KNOW you want to own one)!

I have some dream hats... Alan have some of them but they do not fit my head. The others look like to be in dreams only.

Alan has some special secret device to find hats that are super fantastic.

Yeah, he has to have one of these...

Most definitely the vintage looking one (I still don't feel that the 1980s are vintage).

But the second one have more style.

Well, that's a matter of personal preference. I think the Rod Taylor version is a more artistic concept. And you don't have to get it up to 88 MPH before it works.

Makes me super happy to have a hat that is coveted by others on this forum, Mission accomplished. So many others have hats on here that I have been longing for, just don't have all the money to get them.

This hat is in your tolerable range, a nice 3 inch brim on it.

I would want it with more brim. I have one or two 3" brim hats but I don't wear them.

My "wallet" has already announced it was at the edge of going "mutiny" on me many times just this past year! Among all the "coveted" articles of fashion for us, hats and shoes have topped the bill!

Knowing now, how much talent in the hatter department, that Esther, Gannon and Alley Kat Hat has, is not making my budget smooth out any time soon! I have a hat "on deck" soon with Gannon, and then I am going to spoil myself in a few weeks after I have a hat from Gannon for Daniel, my plan to have Esther make ME a custom hat hits the batter box! Then a few weeks after that, it will be to have one of those black cherry hats made for Daniel. After these hats, I do not think we will have a need nor desire to build up our hat collection too much more...no room and financially we have to set aside money for Christmas and some other expenses we have coming in.

A preliminary shot of the finished product.
Tim has been slammed busy, which is a blessing for him. He will post soon, and reply to any questions and comments.

Kurt will be photographing it for Tims portfolio before it ships. Kurt is working his bum off taking nice shots for Tims business. Tim and Kurt, I thank you both!

Kurt, post pics of your photoshoot. Can't wait to see your work of Tims work.

Nice looking lid Harv! Welcome to the Alley Kat Hat Brotherhood!
Great deep crease on that thing. Beautiful profile view.
Congratulations on your new hat. Can't wait for more pictures from Tim but more importantly your head shot with it on when you get it.

Great work Tim!

Cindy, I appreciate your post and I look forward to making you that hat. And I thank you for your support. I got really tied up the past couple days....and I wanted to document a one piece stratoliner style bow and my way of installing a wind cord. The hand bound brim on Harv's hat took me over 10 hours alone. But it is a job complete for the week and a paycheck for job done. I have 2 in line. I appreciate your participation on this thread. Thank you very much. Please keep going as you see Harv's hat.

Purple is The Midnight Ryder.

 

[Cane Rod Maker]

Thank you all for your views and please post a comment if you are passing through.

I appreciate all the names that were kicked around and I really liked Midnight Ryder the best. It will be that color combo only.

Both are # 52 block, both same brim......great looks. Harv's hat needs a name......help me out. Pictures by Kurt to follow. Thanks all!!

That's the one!!!!
