I’ve been looking through this thread again as I consider my next Hornskov as Christmas approaches. I was surprised to see you had ordered the Broker. I thought you might consider the dimensions too big and imposing. I love mine, but find I have to be selective with what I wear it with.
I see you went for a wider ribbon. Did you change any of the other dimensions?

I’m having a tough time deciding on one. Looking through the thread, I’m drawn to your natural felt with blue ribbon. I want a less imposing hat this time, but it tends to be the tall crowns on his website that appeal. The Diamond and the Alberti in particular. If I go for the Diamond, I may look at getting the crown size reduced (as my wife did for her Hornskov). I’m guessing that with the reshapable crown of the Alberti, it would best be left tall.
I see the Editor is no longer on his website. As I write this, I flick back to their website and think the Emissary looks nice, too, and with a medium crown…I’m going round in circles!

OK, a Mogul. Hence the wider ribbon and the brim binding. Looks great, by the way.

And while I’m here, I should show our Hornskovs on this thread. I’ve posted the photo before on another thread. Mine is the Broker in camel with a moss ribbon, Etsuko’s is a “Low” Author also in camel but with a wine ribbon.

It's there, they just changed the page layout a bit.
Shop --> custom hat --> Design your very own custom hat right here
the "here" word will take you to the editor

Still can’t see it. Do you think you could go to the page and share the link?

I can't find the Editor either....

I'm guessing he meant to decide the specs of the Editor in the Custom fields - but what I'd do is just order an Editor in the notes, or with your specific specs - Hornskov are very flexible in their modifications. For me the Editor is their finest, and no doubt will resurface, though think it is their current Narrator with a 2 3/8" brim. Personally I'm happy I stocked up before the price increases, as for me the $500 mark is the line where I sit and consider a new hat, or plainly stay out the game...

I hear ya!
I’ve got the 25% discount available, but after that, I think the next one may be very far off.

I imagine that applies to the full order - two for you - the Editor and Mogul, and one for the Missus (an Alberti, that you can use too!...er, assuming you are the same size! -) )

Ouch!
I just checked the rewards page. With the new prices, they’ve changed the rewards, too. I now need 6000 points for 25% off, not 5000. I’m 550 points off. That really hurts.

Anyways. My hat finally arrived and i was able to get my hands on it.
The packaging was sturdy an no visible dents on the parcel.
The felt really does feel great and the hat looks amazing. Size is good, all in all i am very happy with it.

Wife's comment: " yea, it looks good, but did you really need another hat? "

Great hat, looks good on you, but did you really need it??

 

[Beotaran]

.. to be honest.. probably not so much *need* as *want* but that's for another philosophical discussion.

Apparently my wife can do some very long distance ventriloquism
Actually, she rarely looks up anymore before saying something like “as long as you like it that’s great.”

Good looking hat you got there!

My wife who is the rarest of breeds...never received a 'collectors gene'. She is a person who owns just one of most things except underwear. When I was building bikes I kept offering to build her additional ones and she always replied..."Why?, I have one already." I don't understand it but then again she cannot fathom me......but somehow it works!

I went ahead and ordered a custom hat from them yesterday. I'm real new into hats in general, but I have been enjoying my current one a lot (mostly during hikes and such), so I went ahead and splurged on a custom, pure beaver western weight hat.

I can't wait to see the result.
