Stunning hat.

Outdoor photos would be good. I wonder how the undyed felt will look under different light.

 

[1mach1]

Che and Ted, I will get some pictures up later today. Thanks for the kind words!

Dan, when is yours expected?

 

[DesertDan]

Haven't heard from Mike yet so I may still be down the queue a bit.

 

[Rogera]

Wow Richard that hat is sweet! You and Harv have prompted me to contact Mike. Great guy and fast responses to questions. Dan, he told me that he was about four months out if that helps

 

[DesertDan]

Not surprising, I know that he has been swamped with orders and Hats are not even his primary business.

My latest from Mike.

I asked him to build me a hat based loosely on the hat Robert Mitchum wore in 'Farewell My Lovely'. I stipulated the ribbon width, and the brim width and style, which I think Mike calls a 'half blind binding'. What I liked were the row of stitches just in front of the top binding.

The hat I wanted in part to replicate:



The result:







I'm over the moon. The felt is a a light weight beaver and is very much like vintage felt. The hat is exactly as I'd hoped. In the style of the Mitchum hat but with my own style choices, expertly accomplished by Mike.

Thank-you Mike for another beautiful hat.

Greg, that is beautiful! Mike did a stellar job on that one. What color is the felt?

 

[Tedquinton]

Harv

It's 'granite'. It's pretty hard to photograph, it's grey but with a brownish hue. An excellent match, in my eyes, to the Mitchum hat.
