Black Sheep Hat Works

Just got back from Bob's with a happy haul. Mostly refurb work but also this new prize. Calling it the "Reject", the original commissioner wasn't happy with the hand dyed beaver color so Bob dyed another for him and was left with this body. Bob knows a suka when he meets one so now it's mine. Also has a sweet hand dyed pleated ribbon. The koolest feature to me is his new sewn in waterproof tip liner. I apologize for the pix quality, my camera is being repaired so I used my iPad since I couldn't wait to post some pixs. The hat is a real chameleon and I wasn't able to capture it's true green/gray color which I love.

Mike, Garrett, Scott, I appreciate the comments. Bob really digs vintage hat details and is trying to incorporate them into his hats. I'm looking forward to his embossed sweatbands.

Garrett, glad you get to play with Bob too, he told me you wasted most of his workday on your recent visit ;)
