Black Sheep Hat Works

[aught12]

I ordered an Elip Creek a while back from Bob. Hope to have it towards the end of the month.

I have looked longingly at the Goldfinch many times on Bob's website; that hat just looks fantastic.

There are at least 4 other models of Bob's hats that I'll probably order. The Golfinch was a must have, though, for me, as I don't have anything similar to the pecan color.

I wore my Black Sheep today, the prettiest hat I own:

Working on a new felt hat with Bob as well, but I had him tweak my Milan OR. I loved it when I got it, but felt that it could use a bit of stiffener because it was getting out of shape when I put it on a hat rack. So I sent it back up to Bob, and while he had it, I thought to myself that a little flair in the brim might be nice (similar to my Resistol OR clone). Bob worked his magic, and this came in the mail today:

I really love it, despite my apparent lack of enthusiasm captured in the first picture (and yes, I do need a haircut!).

 

[CPT/VSG]

Nice hats Blackthorn and jlee562.

Decided today to email Bob and order a Savannah, too, since I've got an order in for a Goldfinch. He might as well block two hats rather than one, at least that's my theory.

Good thinking, CPT. You won't be sorry.

+1 no sense in just having one Sheep, they are herd animals ya know and you should have a flock of them.....

I like that new brim curl, jlee! (surprising, I know.) In fact I'm trying to add a touch more swoop to my new FP.

After speaking with Bob today, and, emailing him an inquiry earlier this week, I sent my down payment for a beaver Elip Creek today. I liked the moss, and, loden ribbon band and edge, but, requested a boxcar with a wind trolley rather than a bow.

These look like beautiful hats, it is my first beaver, and, first custom felt.

Thank you sir, Bob did a great job with this one, as usual.

JLee562--really like the milan.

Well, in my rush to order a second hat from Bob, I sent him a check but neglected to sign it. Bob, emailed me about this oversight, and, since I had to send him a new check anyway, decided to add a third hat, a Saboteur. What the heck...I was going to order that hat anyway. At some point this summer, I'll be awash in Black Sheep hats.

Well, the flock continues to grow. Bob's such a pleasure to work with that I've also ordered an Alpine Mist with a 2 5/8" brim instead of 3" and a Keynote. That's 5 lids on the way. I've also got Bob working on a panama for my wife. Photos once I start receiving them.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Take a look at the two new models and colors he just put up, you may want to change one of your orders....

 

[CPT/VSG]

O.G., thanks for the heads up but I don't see any new models or colors. Which ones are you referring to?

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Nice one, J!

I believe O.G. is refering to our Facebook page. It is a faster method to get photos up on a regular basis and a good portion of new customs end up there. Its worth a look if you get a chance. Keep an eye out on the website though, I am looking at having a few new things up in the coming week.

I'm in the minority I suppose but I refuse to create a Facebook account. So I'll wait on the web site update. With 6 hats currently on order with Bob (including one for my wife) it's probably just as well that I haven't seen the new models.

 

[SpeedRcrX]

I don't have a facebook account too but their facebook page is public so you can visualize it without a problem.

 

[CPT/VSG]

Thanks, SpeedRcrX--I checked out Bob's page. I like the new light gray taller crown that he's showing.
