Black Sheep Hat Works

[T Jones]

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.

When you consider the cost of refurbing a vintage classic to make it like new and compare that to the prices of the modern day off the shelf fur felts, I think you're getting a far better quality hat at a lower price for the refurb. I'll take the refurb of an old classic over the new stuff any day.

I am learning that myself, and it appears to be paying off.

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

Well you know I am happy to do it Aaron.

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.

Aesthetically, THAT EDGE is cool! If it also adds a bit of stiffness to the brim, even better. Black Sheep offers lots of nice hats with really nice option choices. They will stand out even more from the crowd now. :eusa_clap

Are other master hatters likely to be copying the 'pinnacle edge' style in the years to come? Or will it remain exclusive to this particular Bob gentleman?

Pinnacle edge,wow cool.

That Pinnacle Edge is something else, Bob!

 

[clintfisher]

That is solid Harv!

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

 

[1mach1]

That is solid Harv!

Thanks, buddy!

 

[Drdan]

Is there anyway we can have more information about the Pinnacle edge? Will it be a new option for any of the hat models currently produced?

Thanks

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaa, I looked at the web site! Why do I torture myself thusly? Those heather felts are gorgeous!

Paid another fun visit to Bob's yesterday to pick up this semi-calado, a bit of a grail hat for me. Despite the 2" embossed sweatband (these sweats are fantastic) the finished hat weighs just 2.8 oz. The ribbon is navy






A very neat detail, vintage style hat hanger

Wow. What a hat!

Thanks for posting more pics of this hat, Mike. Bob has done a fantastic job for you.

I've worn my VS version a lot during this hot Texas summer, I'm sure you'll be getting the same pleasure from yours. Perfect hats for a hot day and they look great too!

 

[mikespens]

Thanks tropicalbob, Aaron, and David. David, I've always enjoyed your VS and look forward to my breezy experiences

 

[Short Balding Guy]

Mike; OK I GIVE - THAT IS ONE GREAT Semi-Calado! Wow, that one has the stuff that I dream off sir.

Excellent, truly excellent.

Wear it proudly, knowing that you will be the coolest (in temp and panama style) around. Best, Eric -

 

[Rogera]

One beautiful lid there Mike, congratulations!!
