Please post photos of your sage green hats

[deadlyhandsome]

Thank you all for posting photos of your sage and "sageish" green hats! I haven't heard anything from Luisa from Daquino Hats. No doubt she is busy and perhaps on vacation at this time. I do hope she responds.

I've been dealing with D'aquino too. Luisa sometimes takes three or four days to answer my emails but she always eventually gets back to me. I've only ordered her rabbit so I can't speak to her beaver hats, but as long as you are not expecting a $250 hat for $120 you shouldn't be disappointed. I have her making me a light grey hat that should be shipping soon and I just asked her about another. The light grey took some extra time as I asked for a specific ribbon color in a specific width and she had to put in some leg work to procure it. My last hat took just over 30 days from order to delivery. Not bad. Here's the link to my review: http://www.thefedoralounge.com/thre...ing-about-this-hatmaker-daquino.79807/page-23

I think if you approach D'aquino as you would an Akubra that you can have customized to your specs you won't be disappointed. He prices for beaver are less appealing as she is then getting close to competing with some very good domestic custom hatters.

Good luck.

Yes I do. This one is beautiful. I don't wear much green usually, but this hommie deserves an outfit built around it. What I really need is a nice blue Homburg.

A Vintage Silhouettes Light Sage. Same hat in different light...
Consistently garners more comments than most other lids I own; who knows why?!

ONE more thing about GREEN hats...

Thank you for the encouragement and also posting photos of your green homburg. It's been over a week since I wrote to Luisa. Perhaps I used the wrong link on Etsy. I asked a question about a hat listed on Etsy. I primarily was asking about what color green her hats are and also about a forum member's hat--whether it was beige or tan.

I think her normal 4+ day response time will be longer due to the holiday.

I don't know if this will help, but she sent me this sometime back when I was asking for photos of some of the different colors:

Hi Brent,


sorry for the delay in my answer.

I only have 100% rabbit fur felt for the price of 76,50€ and 100% beaver fur for 175,00€.

The brown that I have is chocolate brown and the tan is a bit more dark and less yellowish than the beige.

I send you attached photos of the colors you asked.


Thank you so much!

Luisa

Here's a few green hats that I have to share. Some might be in need of a brushing.
First up, a P.&C. Habig Wien Trachtenhut made in the 70's. Brim is a bit shorter than my preference now, but I still love the felt and the overall quality.

Next, a Lembert Trachten made in West Germany in the 50's. One of my favorite velours for petting. So very soft and luxurious.

A Rockel Alsfeld Trachren, also German, from the 50's. A Flamand-Velour finish.

This 60's or so Alpenland Trachten made somewhere in the German speaking world.

A Panizza made by Falcus. 80's-ish I believe. Great quality componenrs and workmanship. Looks like I knocked the crease a little cattywompus as I carried it downstairs to be photographed.

A John Batterson made in America in the 50's. In a Trachten style. Has the most unique felt in both finish and flex of all my hats. Like a super-duper short shorn velour to the touch, and an almost elastic-y feel when snapping the brim down.

Tonak Seal Velour from Czechoslovakia, made in the 50's. A long, luxurious nap to this felt makes it softer than most plush stuffed animals. One of the higher forms an atomic age hare could aspire to become.

This 50's Lee Doe-Sheen Fifteen White Label is a favorite.

And this '53-'55 Stetson Whippet has been all over the forum since last Friday.

Always glad to be a good Californian and promote a greener lifestyle!

Great hats! Thank you for sharing.

By the way, I can't view the photos that Brent posted. Can anyone see them?

Perry,

The photos did not work here but I sent you a PM with the same photos. Did you get it?

Luisa at D'aquino got back to me today so hopefully she is answering your emails too. I asked her for a photo of her green hat color and I'll share it if she comes through.

You should also check out the premiere Stratoliner in sage if you are a thin ribbon fan. With a little luck you can pick these up for around $150 new. They are very decent hats and I don't think you'd be disappointed. The Open Road is also available in sage but it is western weight with a pressed in crease and lots of stiffener so it's not for me...I don't think .

Those poor seals.

The baby seals give the best fur.

Yeah, but the green ones are especially hard to come by. That's a rare hat.

Yes, thank you, I did get your PM. I also read your latest post in the D'aquino thread. Hopefully, you will soon get a shipping date for your hat. I understand about the holidays and what an increase in orders can do. I'm interested in seeing a sample of their green. The Stratoliner is a great looking hat. It's on my list of possibilities.

This will be my fourth Premier Stratoliner. They really are great hats. I'd like to get an Excellent Stratoliner, but they stopped making them and they are rare and expensive in the secondary market.

D'aquino just is what it is. No digs against them. Just know what to expect when going through them. I really like the hat I've received and I'm sure I'll like the hat that should be shipping soon. They could really use a simple website with sample colors and a photo gallery.

Thanks for sharing. That's a nice shade of green. It's not quite sage, but a good green.
