Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

I was impressed with the sample he had in the shop, when i picked up my last hat. Despite it looking so fancy, I still think i can get away with it being an every day hat.

We need to see pictures of the current creation you picked up!

I just received my fedora from Northwest Hat Company. Mike Miller is very personable and does excellent work. This is my first custom hat and although it took a while to get it, it was exactly as I ordered. I was worried about the double tear drop crown, as it is difficult to make, which I've never seen in person but he had a picture of one he did, and I HAD TO HAVE IT! This is made with beaver.

Very nice hat! I prefer teardrop crowns, and have never seen a double-teardrop. That’s really neat, thanks for sharing!

Congrats! Is that steel felt?

Thank you! I'd never seen a double tear drop either but he had a picture of one he did on his Facebook page. I'm very pleased with it!

Killer!

Thank you Bill!

I'm not sure what steel felt is. The color is steel blue, and the felt is beaver. It is firm but very soft.

I hope not, but I'll need to thin out my collection which is mostly western right now. Thank you!

I can see why he's your favorite. He's very personable and has a real passion for what he does. You're very lucky to live close to his store....on second thoughts your wallet my disagree. Although his prices are lower than you will find anywhere! Thank you!

That's what I meant, the color of the felt is steel/blue steel. Very classy!

You are good!!! I chose this color because it goes well with black, grey and blue.

Just waiting around for @Redfokker to show up with his new hat.....

Sorry this took so long, this navy felt is a challenge to photograph, and the longhair makes it harder. My trip to NW Hats in Eugene was just what the hat room needed. Another white box with a bespoke hat in it. I'm going to have to make two piles, it is getting kind of tippy

Mike was playing with a brushed longhair finish a while back on another visit and I fell in love. Navy beaver felt took this finish so well, it shines what ever way you turn. Smooth and luxurious to the touch. I had him do his magic on a Shark's Gill with 10 pleats and some extra detailing. I wanted a hat that just wouldn't be for special occasions, so a teardrop makes it a little less formal. Full 6" crown with 5 1/2ish at the crease. I also went with a wider 2 7/8" brim. I think this one will be a custom daily driver.

Detail of the gills, in this light it looks black, weird.
