What hat are you waiting for today?

[Jeremy T Garner]

Give yourself time. We'll drag you down to our level soon.

Welcome to the Lounge. [emoji16]


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

LOL, thank you for the warm welcome sir! Darn glad to finally be here for real.

After some PM's back and forth with Mr Jeremy Garner discussing the recent production, open crown, premier quality Whippets that were avaliable in Sage from the Hatco Outlet, I asked Mr Garner if he would mind inquiring about one in my size and he did. This message is what I woke up to this morning...

My jaw dropped. I was completely blindsided. I was (and still am) overwhelmed and appreciative of his extreme generosity and kindness. THANK YOU SIR!

That is so funny you should say that as I was just thinking about the exact same thing! I live all the way out here in Idaho so I would think you would probably get yours first.

I was considering trying to do a "C Crown" for this hat. I will attach photos of the style I am going to try and pay homage to. What were you thinking of doing with yours Bob?

That is SPECTACULAR!

MEANWHILE...

I seem to be having a smidgen of OCD or reduced impulse control or something, that's the story and I'm stickin' to it!
That said I await the following... but they were ALL real good deals, honest!

Try it! The hat will have something to say abt what it will let you do. Try a dry crease first without extremely tight creases to avoid a "ghost" crease. There's some great info in the bash thread. My Sovereign grade Whippet has a factory teardrop/C crown so I will attempt my first diamond and if it doesn't work I'll go with a simple center crease.

Thank you for the tips! This will be my first time shaping a hat from scratch so I will be scouring the bash thread on your recommendation.

I think a diamond crease would look awesome as well! Hopefully that works for you.

Wlcm. I don't have much luck (skill?) doing diamonds. We shall see...
BTW, did you happen to notice what color ribbon they were using on the Whippets? Just curious and excited too.

I searched the web trying to find a photo and I believe it is this ribbon in this photo. The photo is sourced from delmonico so I am 99% sure our hats should look like this one.

You have some great looking hats on the way sir! My lips are sealed I promise I won't tell! Lol. I am in the same boat with my wife. Heaven forbid I died and she sold my guns, hats, and other collectibles for what I "told" her I paid for them
