What a ridiculous comment to make about a really standup guy in the thread dedicated to the wonderful hats he makes.

 

[Neophyte]

Let's just ignore it. Tomasso is simply trying to drag on a resolved conflict from another thread. Let's take this back to TonyB and his fine hats !

Here's the kind of guy Tony is: I stopped by his house awhile back to chit-chat and to drop off the first hat he built me to get a good cleaning and a bound brim. He did the work and then surprised me by going out of his way to hand deliver it. Tony is the best.

Yes, he is!

 

[bolthead]

Wow, and Tony delivered as well......is it Christmas or what?......Pictures to follow.

 

[bolthead]

Here's a few of Tony's as well. Tony, what can I say man.....you knocked it out of the Ballpark, for sure. Great work, I Love it.

What color is the felt of that hat bolthead?
Is it as white as the pics look?

 

[Delthayre]

That's a very nice hat. I especially like the proportions. Do you happen to know the particular width of the brim and height of the crown?

 

[bolthead]

Thanks Feraud, he calls it cream. I wanted to shoot it outside on this glorious sunny day,without flash. I'd say the 3rd pic is very close, maybe a bit darker, but not much.

As far as dimensions go: Open crown is right at 5 1/2 inches at its highest point. Brim is 2 5/8........22 ligne terra cotta ribbon.

I guess you couldn't have a truly white hat. That would just be too bright, too impossible, no one would want one. White would be like a linen doily or something.

You have obviously not seen DRB's Optimo 1000; it's so bright white it actually hurts to look at it (but so worth the effort lol)!

 

[BobC]

Wow, Bolt! Another homer.

Nice, Tony.

Wow, Bolt! Another homer.

Nice, Tony.

Yep. :eusa_clap I'd love to see a noggin shot of this one Bolt.

Tomorrow, I'm going out for a nice dinner w/Mrs. and FIL.

I'll take two if you got 'em.

This is close enough for me. I wanted this hat to make a statement, I believe it does.

White hats are great. Your "cream" hat looks wonderful, Bolt!

This is DRB's painfully-awesome white lid that I menitoned earlier. Put on a pair of sunglasses, fellas:

I was going to ask Tony if he can do a wind trolly for me, but I totally forgot.
