Today is my first peruse of this thread. I like what I'm seeing - a lot! Could we possibly have some close ups of the stitching of which you gents speak so highly?

Pages 11 & 18 of this thread I posted up some good detailed pics

Have a look at the left hand side of the bow close up in post 207 and try and spot the stitching...

What is Mike's lead time?
I just ordered one in beaver and was told 2 months. 6 to 8 weeks.

Mike was very good at communicating with me by e-mail, and asked several detailed questions every day.
And Richard the detail in that ribbon makes that hat.
Also thank you for the advice on crown height.

Thank you Daniele.

Gorgeous hat Richard. You made a fantastic choice in felt color and brim binding, congrats on it. Mike really does an amazing job.

Mike deserves the credit for the ribbon colour. I asked for something without too bold a contrast in the 'peanut butter range' with an olive insert, and he came up with the Kangaroo - slightly darker than I had envisaged but when he sent a photo I couldn't not go for it - the perfect choice.

Here is my new hat from Northwest Hats. Mike really worked with me to get exactly what I wanted.

This hat was originally a custom rabbit felt ROTLA fedora, and after a lot of hard wear it needed refreshing. Rather than go to one of the custom Indy hatters (who do very detailed, screen accurate work) I had it reblocked to a more generic "Indy" hat. I also had the original ribbon replaced with a black one.

Nice one, Geno!

I am in the works with Mike on a Whippett style hat. Picture is one possible combo (undyed natural beaver with kangaroo color ribbon and edge binding). Below is what Mike said in his email along with the picture. Thoughts?

Hey Harv. Here is the photo of the natural beaver with the kangaroo. It looks really nice to me. The picture looked better on my phones screen but when I look at it on my PC it seems a bit washed out. So keep in mind it will look richer in person. Let me know what you think.
