My Blue Heaven

[danofarlington]

A blue hat I've had my eye on is made by Gary White of the Custom Hatter in Buffalo. It's a blue Open Road style called "The Houston" that looks cool. http://www.custom-hatter.com/hats.html#focus

Tony B of Tumwater Hats also has a gorgeous deep blue 100% beaver hat on his web-site that belongs to a member. When I get the funds I want a exact duplicate.

Navy Blue

delectans had (has?) a gorgeous navy Dobbs reminiscent of that one, Dinerman. A primary specimen.

This Dobbs golden coach is a nice navy blue plush.

and this anonymous bowler is a neat navy as well.

My tue blues don't get so much headtime, actually.

I think someone posted this pic somewhere awhile back, but I think it deserves a place here.

Bowlerman, you look like you're about to hustle a stage coach in that first picture!

Dinerman, nice hat!

Rusty kind of pushing your ribbon limit on this one.

Hey Rusty - sweet lid. What is the crown height on this one?

Hold up. Hold up. I just picked myself up off the floor. That is very awesome. What auction??

Why, an ended auction. Ended a long time ago, can't recall.

Here's a bump, my new VS Art-lite in Powder blue, already posted in the AFHoF thread but seems appropriate here too:

Very elegant, Mike! (And Art, of course!!) :eusa_clap

Spectacular hat Mike!

 

[Florida_Marlin]

Wow, that Art-lite in powder blue is awesome. Never wanted a blue hat--- until now.

 

[mikespens]

Thanks Randall, hatophile, and F_M. Seems almost impossible to find a nice vintage hat in my size in other than navy blue and even those are rare. The opportunity came with Art so let him do it. Could not be happier.

Terrific hat, Mike! The ribbon treatment is very fine. Is that a copper color? Very unique against the powder blue felt. Congrats! :thumb:

Well, either way, it's a beautiful hat. Looks like a conversion; former homburg.

Thanks David, the ribbon color is hard to describe, Art called it pinkish/tan. I could see calling it copper. Color is pretty accurate in my post.
