Winchester is the USA source of felt bodies. HatCo makes their own in Longview, TX. Felt bodies are also available to custom hatters from over seas.

A milliner is typically associated with a designer & maker of women's hats. From Webster's dictionary = a person who designs, makes, trims, or sells women's hats
Makers of men's hats is just called a Hatter...

And Bob is both, guess that makes him bi........

Silverbelly Playboy Ribbon

This one is on the way to me. It is a silverbelly beaver felt with a silver Playboy style ribbon and 2 3/4" brim. Bob sent two pictures and the color seems to change in different lighting. I think it looks great and I can't wait to see the liner and ostrich sweatband. Thanks Bob!

Wow-- 1-2-3 whammys in a row. Very nice ones. I'm fascinated by that long hair and asymmetrical curl. Very sweet. When do we get the noggin' shots?


I have got to put Bob on my short list of hatters with whom to do business.

Wanderer- def: Itinerant people, who wander from place to place with no permanent home, or are vagrant.

Playboy- def:A wealthy man who spends his time enjoying himself, esp. one who behaves irresponsibly or is sexually promiscuous.

No-brainer there.

Good point.
