A recent commission to go with a long black knit dress with thin blue lines. Hand dyed pinokpok (a finer type of sinamay) blocked over hand carved cork blocks mounted on double headband. Very hard work but I'm really pleased (as was the customer) with the result. Hope you like it!

Blue moons...Fabulous!

Perfect! I do like the sage color, I wear mine quite a bit. It is cool to have twin Whippets on either side of the continent. You should put together a side by side gallery.

OK. Pretty please with sugar?

Hutproduktiv (Wien) "Standard", 59cm, Crown Open 5 1/2 inches, Brim 3 inches probably later 1930s. The felt is fantastic and easily dry creases. This is my first Hutproduktiv (Wien) so was happy to find it.

Thx Will. Trying to put a decent diamond into it now. Never did one. We'll see.

I don't doubt you will get it looking the way you want. It will look good I am sure.

Vintage Lee Fifth Avenue "Water-Bloc." Age undetermined.
White Label "Handlee." New in original box. 2.5 inch brim. 6 inch open crown. Originally thought it was a overwelt brim but was pleasantly surprised to find this brim treatment. Forgot what it's called. Cavanaugh or something? Unworn and never creased. Yet...

How goes the bashing Bob? I think I would have to look at it for several days before I could even think about it. Beautiful hat!!!

Just completed my new hat...well nearly completed. Missing the liner but the weather in my area changed and is hot now so I am holding off on the liner until the fall. Decided to put my camera to use and try to learn how to shoot with it. All photos taken in doors, at midnight, all interior lights off expect for a positionable table lamp.

Specs:
Block Style: #221
Crown Height: 6 inch
Rake: Front 4 6/8 to Back 4 3/8
Brim: 2 3/4 inch
Brim Edge: Raw
Brim Embellishment: Triple stitched contrasting thread with the felt but matching ribbon
Ribbon: 1 1/2 inch
Ribbon Color: Golden Brown
Ribbon Age: 1930s vintage stock
Ribbon Finish: Frayed edges
Felt: Winchester 2nd (Has coloration problems); Western Weight
Felt Color: Dark Brown
Quality: Blend

I didn't photogram the coloration problems but they kept me from pouncing as thin as I would have liked to. Again this is a western weight felt. I am just about through all my Winchester 2nds, from now on will only order their firsts.

The brim flange is modeled after the Connecticut State Police. The sides have more flange than the front and back. Brim is also stiff.

Frayed bow work

Tripe stitching edge treatment. Three individual passes on the sewing machine. Used precision ruler and magnetic guide to maintain the distance between each row of stitches.

No liner at this time. Too hot to install one, will put one in during the fall.
