Awesome hat! Great work!
Awesome hat! Great work!
I have some questions for members who have bought Agnoulita hats:
- What is the difference between Rabbit and Antelope?
- What is the corresponding names for Rabbit felt model number P8188, P172, P177
- What is the corresponding number for "Latte" and caramel color rabbit?
They are what Mr. P called the colors.
Mr. P makes his own stiffener and he can adjust the stiffness at your request. I had all of my hats shipped open crown and they were easy to crease.

I might get creative and get an open crown to experiment with. If I wanted a hat with a 4 inch crown at the crease, what size open crown would I order? How hard would it be for neophyte like me to form a diamond crown like in the attached pics View attachment 141902 View attachment 141903
I get my open crowns 6" and then I have lots of hat to work with. It is easy to adjust the bashed crown height by adjusting the depth. If you desire a low crown at 4" you could make do with 5 1/2" open crown but I am not certain as I have never bash a hat to that low a crown.I might get creative and get an open crown to experiment with.

When you bash a hat to make a 5 1/2 crown, what open crown do you start with?

Nice job on the Torino. Will it be possible to get a 5 1/2 open down to a 4 inch? What the technique for lowering the crown??
DH, what are you using here to spin the hat? I've been weighing out what options would be the easiest or least expensive but still effective.Teaser photo of the marine blue:

Gotcha, from some of your photos it had seemed you ordered some hats blocked and banded but unshaped then did the shaping yourself. I figured you were finishing some as well. I have a few bodies on the way to start making my own, I just haven't squared away exactly how I am going to make a few of the tools.That photo is of the hatter pouncing the hat. I don’t have such a device. I suppose I could use my wife’s pottery wheel? I have done some light pouncing by hand but a new custom hat should never need it.

I notice all your hats but 2 have the seam for the satin liner in front. The exceptions are this hat and your long nap dark brown hat with the wider brim binding. Is there a reason for this, and can you ask that the seam be in the back as it is with this one?3 1/4” bound brim and 6 1/2” open crown. This started with a Diamond crease but I reshaped it last night into a center dent. The color is latte and at my request the felt is more dress weight than western.
