That's perfect for you, Brent. Good to have this thread brought back to life again.

Thanks, Stefan. I’m developing a thing for blue hat.

Very nice project. I have one similar to that coming.

Did you go with the blue metal ribbon? I went with blue metal for the binding and the crown.

He didn't have enough to go with blue metal for both the crown an brim, but had another darker ribbon that he made some suggestions for mixing it up with a combination of the two. In the end I asked him to make the hat using his best judgement, experience, and creative touch, in the exact proportions, as well as the ribbon. It is being finished up soon, and I am happily awaiting the outcome of Michaels talents. Thanks for the Inspiration! It isn't the first time I have copied your choices.

In Art's town....Central Point OR, just down the street from his old shop the Rogue River Creamery. They have a separate cooler with just their blue cheese offerings...there is a sign above it......"My Blue Heaven". It was obligatory to stop at Art's shop, the Creamery for the blue cheese and next door to the winery and chocolatier. I called Central Point the worlds most perfect small town.

I too often leave the details to the hatter if I trust them. I’m sure Michael will make you something special.

Yeah, there was a bit of back and forth about how much to pounce, and how wide a brim he should make due to my lack of expertise. So, I just told him to do what he does best and make me a nice hat.
I’m sure that is what will arrive across the ocean soon.

A Worth & Worth I’ve sense sold:

A latter 1950s Whippet that presented as gray-blue in the sun and blue-gray in indirect light. Lovely shade. This hat too has been moved on.

Wolfbrae custom hat made from 100% nutria and the color is raincloud.

A 1978 Borsalino Romero homburg in the cobalto color:

I’m still looking for an older one in mirtillo.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

This was is a 1970s or ‘80s western Stetson that Wolfbrae breather new life into. It’s a rugged hat I wear brim down front and back. The color is “Boeing.”

This is the only hat I’ve seen in the Boeing color.

Wolfbrae custom pure beaver (FEPSA):

 

[Who?]

That’s quite a color.

 

[deadlyhandsome]

That’s quite a color.

Thanks.
I enjoy most all colors and this pure beaver in sky blue is fantastic. I wouldn’t choose it for my first hat, or even as one of my first five, but it’s just the ticket on the right occasion. Winchester makes a powder blue pure beaver felt and I think that will be the hat to order this winter for a spring delivery. As an aside, I started off not caring for black hats and now I can’t get enough of them. I like most all colors and styles of hats.
