You have to see this hat in person to appreciate the various undertones it displays.... blues, grays..., etc. I went to see Mike at NW Hats last Saturday and saw Redfokker's hat before it was finished. Pecan was not the hat I was thinking about we we drove to Eugene, but once I saw Red's hat, that's what I had to have.

A-1 hat skills by Mike, and a great tribute hat for RF! :D
I think you will find the color versatile. I'm waiting for next week when the temp drops some for it's first outing. 95 degrees today was too hot for felt!

I wore felt this morning, but by 1 pm I was home for lunch and switched to my Panama hat! We're supposed to see 97 here tomorrow!

I have a light brown leather jacket to wear with my NW Hats Pecan fedora...

Wow! Very nice Greg! It looks to be in great shape also. Looking forward to some head shots.

Thanks, HJ. The felt is incredible and not a mark on it. Slight tear in the sweat but it's soft and pliable. Head shots when the temps here get out of the 90's.

Killer !!!! ... killer of Richard Kuklinski proportions

just gorgeous

Appreciate it, Ant. Had to google Kuklinski. Forgot all about the iceman.

+1! That's on par with the Friedman collection-- stellar!

Thank you, sir. Don't know if I would go that far but it's a bucket list hat for sure. Really dig tha Buckaroo you've been sporting. My bucket keeps getting bigger.

Beauty and the front rake!

I like that rake as well, Bob. The crown popped right out w/o steam and I popped it right back in. Not changing a thing. Thanks.

Dream hat right there Greg! Nice hat stand as well!

Thank you, Bob. I always seem to have one of those stands handy.

Wow, Bama, that's really nice, and in great shape, too!

Can't get over the shape myself, Jim. Thanks.

Bobkeenan, that's a mighty fine hat, and love the photos-- you wear it well. Congrats! How was the cigar?

Also, Dlaniger-- congrats on your Optimo! Seems to fit you perfectly. I had a chance last week to stop in to their downtown Chicago store (are there others? I believe they indicated they closed one only a few doors down in order to set up in that location) and the work really was sublime. And the lights and shadows were uber dramatic, so that probably helps!

Thank you!
Yes, they moved down to the corner from the middle of the block. It's a fun shop to visit. The factory is located somewhere in the south side I believe.
