The pied-hatter and his hatter

I have that EXACT same crystal glass. Wish I had the exact same hats!

1930s Knox Premier refurb Bob just did for me. Got it yesterday, and it is way better than I could have imagined.

Nice refurb!

 

[hatsRme]

Super!

 

[Frunobulax]

That looks fantastic, 1mach1. What did the body look like in the "before" photos?

Nice Harv! We all like to preserve these old hats but sometimes they need a little help. You've added value to this hat by making it better than it was originally. i think I need to do this to a few I have. Would it be inappropriate to ask what something like this costs? I didn't see prices on BSHW for this kind of service (probably more to do with my poor internet skills)

Harv that liner is beastly

it's like someone took one of Felix Ungers shirts and put it to good use

fantastic

Very nice refurb Harv.
You wear it well!

 

[mikespens]

The nice thing about a refurb is your saving a hat from wilting in a corner and getting it back on your head. Nice save Harv!

Exactly, I guess I was just repeating your point tommy. I think the cost has to be determined on a case by case basis, it's best to contact Bob about this. From my point of view, it has always been reasonable and worth it.

 

[1mach1]

Thanks fellas. It turned out really nice. Bob told me that this one was worth saving. Tommy, it ran me just shy of 200 bucks to have it refurbed, but it needed everything but the felt.

 

[Rogera]

What a stunner!

 

[mayserwegener]

Harv, Looks fantastic! Also great that you were able to save it.

 

[Ordinary Guy]

Very nice all round guys....... I can't wait till I see what bob does on what he has for me......

 

[navarre]

Thanks for the recent compliments fellas.

To give a quick answer to the cost of a refurbish, they can range anywhere from $20 and up. It just depends on the hat. Like Mike said, when in doubt give me a call. If we can save an old hat, I am happy to do it.

 

[tommyK]

Good to hear and thanks for the responses. Sounds reasonable and worth it to me especially as I would do the sweatband and liner treatment only on hats that I want to wear regularly and keep not to preserve an ultra rare example of a mark. Now where do I start..........

So Bob has been posting some teasers today on Facebook:

He's calling it the "Pinnacle Edge" treatment...I don't know what kind of hatter magic this is, or if it is a "true" felted/Cavanagh edge, but it sure looks mighty nice!

 

[mikespens]

Jared, I've been sworn to secrecy for months about the Pinnacle Edge after seeing various prototypes but can assure you that it is indeed comparable to a Cav-edge. Since the true Cav-edge was done during the felting process and that art has been lost for decades, Bob's is indeed hatter magic.

 

[Lotsahats]

So cool! This means my chances of getting a third BSHW custom have just gone way up.
