Hats at Covington

Post some pics of that Cav Hat

It is SWEET!!!!!!!

I was going to have a tricorn made and Mike got out a 100% beaver body that had a blemish. (I am learning that things hatters call blemishes are unnoticeacle to me.) Well when he started sanding on it the blemish was gone and it turned silky smooth! Being that it was such a good hat body and full beaver, we decided to turn it into a civil war cav hat! I now have a 100% beaver, black cavalry hat, CSA of course. It has the cord and will get the sabers when I get home. It has a four inch brim but fits like a fedora and is lighter than any western I have tried on.

He also used that conformateur thing on me. I had no idea how they worked but once done the shape of the hat is the exact shape of my head. It is the best fitting hat I have, drops right on. It has the extra touch like Art does when he sends you the conformer, but done by the hatter himself so no chance of me screwing it up. And on one of those old timey contraptions that was really cool to see how it worked.

Here's something that you won't see often. How many times have you seen a man standing around with a conformitor on his head? And how many times have you seen this man's teeth? lol lol lol

I am going to be wearing it all day tomorrow so I will get plenty of pics! There is one like it on Baronshats for a thousand bucks, and I bet it is not as good! I was googling images and came across it.
I tell you, you guys don't know what your missing with Mike, I know westerns aren't big here but he makes some awesome fedoras too!

My pics of IC"s cav hat turned out dark. They're too dark to tell anything about it, but I bet he gets some up soon. I can tell you it's a very sharp looking hat.
