It's stunning.Roger, thank you!
The hat you mentioned above is one of his customs. I believe its a long hair FEPSA.

Manfred, thanks! I always hold your opinion in high regard, my friend.That is a damn sharp Hat Harv, the color, the colored ribbon works great together!
A good choice!

Well import and shipping is pretty steep. That's why I don't have winchester, even though they have more colors available in beaver.
I suspect that is one of the main reasons.
And yes, good question there. I suspect how they finish and treat to felt and what type of lining and ribbon they use.
A very experienced hatter blocks and finishes a hat in less time or the fact they have other people working for them as well?
And how fancy is the hatbox?
Thank you for sharingHere is a new blog post about Cody Wellema with a link to a podcast he did.

I follow Cody on instagram and admire all of his work. We do have a Wellema thread here, but not many biters. However, Harv certainly knows his hats (and has hats from a variety of custom hatters) and his positive review of his Wellema custom purchase is a sound endorsement.
Interesting to get your review. I wonder if his price point is more...LA market...LA pricing. It is a high premium to pay. Curious to hear if it represents good value.Ive never owned a nice hat. I wear baseball caps every day except at the beach where it is a wide brim hat.....nor did I know exactly what i wanted or my head size. All I knew was that I am too old to wear a baseball cap with nicer clothes in the winter and my bald head requires a hat when it's cold. My wife and I were in LA a month ago from NY and decided to stop in to this shop that Ive seen on instagram. Cody is such a nice guy. We spent a while looking at the many ready made hats on his wall to come up with a style I liked...crown height, brim, etc...and discussed what looked good on my shape head. No pressure to buy...just a conversation. Then we got into felts and color. Handling his hats, the quality and workmanship just jumps out at you.
I ended up having him size me, picked a color felt, then we spent quite a bit of time talking about ribbons. I ended up going with a two tone look that my wife picked that really pops. It was a fantastic shopping experience. Now I just have to wait until December for it to arrive.
@b1lf, you should definitely take a drive to Altadena and visit Cody's shop.

@b1lf,
I like the sass. The reason that was my first post is because i never had anything to add that had value. No one wants to hear my dissertation on Legacy NYU ball caps...as that is pretty much all I wear. So, I'm not Cody trolling the Fedora Lounge.
You can look me up on Style Forum and a bunch of others...same screen name.
