My Hufvud Bogart
I have been really pleased with the overall process of ordering my first bespoke fedora. Working with Mikael at Hufvud was a pleasure. His communication was outstanding, he answered all of my questions promptly.
Upon receiving my hat shipment, I opened the package with excitement and anticipation. The hat was shipped in a hat box with a custom Hufvud bag encasing my hat. The box had some slight damage from shipping, even though it was clearly marked fragile. When I removed my hat from it bag I noticed the hat was slightly misshapen. My excitement was not diminished at all. The beaver felt quickly regained its shape with little effort. I used a little steam on the brim and it rapidly regained its flange.
The reindeer leather sweatband is the most comfortable of any of my hats to date. The gold embossing on the sweatband is topped off with my name. I chose a black liner and it really contrasts well with the Emerald Gray felt and oak color sweatband.
I chose 30X beaver felt for this hat. The pouncing is nice and smooth with a good hand. The felt has an even gray coloring with green undertones. I also chose a 25 mm blue metal ribbon for my Bogart instead of the more traditional black 50 mm ribbon. The color contrast between the felt and ribbon are exactly what I had envisioned when planning this hat.
I am looking forward to wearing this hat for many years.
Have a safe and blessed weekend.
