Hey R! I was messing around with HP Image Zone and your picture and I came up with this impressionistic inage from your photograph.

RBH, That hat looks great on you!! Very wise choice, not to mention the family tie. :eusa_clap

 

[J. M. Stovall]

Very nice hat! Just how I like 'em.

 

[RBH]

Pretty good job Vincent Van Dean lol
you may have missed your 'calling' !

JM and Duck, Im loving this hat more all the time.

 

[RBH]

Just cause I like it so much.

 

[Razzman]

Wow, RBH, it looks even better in the natural light.
Very impressive.:eusa_clap A very successful collaboration.

 

[RBH]

Thanks Razz!

 

[HDRnR]

Those new pictures look fantastic, I must say that is one of my favorites I've seen on the Lounge.

 

[deanglen]

Those new shots make the hat look like you found it in the attic. It's beyond 'vintage' looking, it looks 'original'.

[RBH]

Thank you HDRnR and Dean.
That was what I was after in this hat. I did not want a 'fancy' fedora. As in the photo of my granddad I was after an everyday type hat.
Mike listened to what I was after and he more than delievered.
I have a few vintage fedoras, and let me tell you this TVA rates right up with them in terms of looks and feel.
You can be sure that when cool weather hits the South again I will have this great fedora on!

Really seems to evoke the time.

Thank you John!!

Looks like there will be a few more of these type hats coming out in the next few weeks, the FL members have been keeping my e-mail's jumping, just wanted to say thanks to all that gave input on the TVA hat.

I'll get better as time goes on and the hats I build.

Thanks,

Mike

RBH, that is a beautiful hat. You pay your grandfather a great tribute by wearing that fedora, I dare say he would be proud of it.

 

[RBH]

Mike, you made a great hat! Look forward to seeing what the future will bring.

Thanks Bogie, I know he would have loved it.
The first thing he would have said was 'why did you get it so big?'!lol

RBH - Thank you for linking to this thread. Your "TVA" is now probably one of my favourites (certainly my favourite look behind a couple of different Raiders bashes), and I am so glad to have found it. Majormoore's done a fantastic job. If I could afford another custom hat this year, I'd be giving him a call. As it is, I am going to try my best to emulate this bash in whatever fed I find myself getting next.

I hope that's OK - I don't want to do a disservice to you, mm, or your grandfathers.

Superb job. Just superb.

Well done RBH!! the hat looks great. It sits nicely on your head and has good proportions. Definitely a winner!!:eusa_clap Can we get a closer pic with it on?

 

[LEUII]

Great looking hat. It almost made me cry. That's my Papa's hat. Looks just like it.

You look splendid in it, too. Yes, you get in a great hat. A good one sits on you.

If you look at the Buckaroo Hatters website, you'll see a picture of RBH modelling what I assume is this hat. It shows it a little better, and still looks great.

He looks so happy, and well he should! It's a super hat!
