You both look great!
Yes, stepping out in style! I finally was able to get a great picture of my Custom Fedora from Esther! I made Daniel wear some matching Purple to go with all my clothing, and he wanted to wear the new Fedora that Tim had made him.
My Custom from Esther is so super fantastic! I can hand shape it on a instant, it just looks great! Esther is a Angel, and she makes hats that are devilishly sexy!

Good to see Daniel again!
Yes you do!
This is a long overdue post.
Last October I contacted Esther about making a hat for me. We exchanged a few messages and Esther ordered the parts. She couldn't get the ribbon that we discussed so she found a different option and send me a photo, then another, then another... We agreed on a width and colour and then Esther got to work making my hat.
Then she noticed the crown ribbon didn't perfectly match the binding ribbon she ordered. And she wasn't able to source an exact match. So she went hunting for a few more options - and came up with some pretty creative alternatives too. Then at the last minute she discovered some ribbon in her workshop that perfectly matched the felt.
By then we had also identified a blue ribbon as an alternative to the tone on tone match. So Esther combined the two ideas.
This is the result:
I've been wearing the hat for a couple of months now. I'm not generally one to worry too much about what others think but I have received more compliments about this hat than any other.
It was great working with Esther. She was very patient and totally committed to the process of making the exact hat that I had in mind. A true professional.

We had a great time. The dress and jacket I was wearing is one of several real vintage from the 1940's that are brand new never worn. Daniel purchase this and a few others many years ago, I have just never had the chance to get out and wear them. But now, I will be able to do so. We plan on going out a few more times as soon as we can. We had people come up to us and ask who we were!?! Haha! And a few wanted to have their pictures taken with us. It was great to have so many people ask all about where we purchased everything and how could they get a hat made for them.
I felt like a princess, being out with Daniel. As we both love our hats, it just made some special "magic" for the entire evening.
We had a great dinner, spent some time winning some money, and even had a chance to do some slow dancing to a live band. Cinderella, can't even come close! Haha!
I have to thank you Esther, as you helped make a dream evening come true.

It is really great that in Europe, those that reside there can access having a Fedora or any other hat, made by Esther, they are not hindered by distance so much for shipping or even seeing her in person.
WOW, that will sure be a super nice looking hat when she is finished!Small teaser

My hat from Esther arrived last week. It is a wonderful addition to my collection. She did a masterful job on the Tonak felt. The colour is wonderful rich shade of dark brown. Soft felt yet substantial and her ribbon work is perfect. I have asked her to post a pic or two of the finished hat for me.
