What hat are you waiting for today?

[Zombie_61]

Odd, but it sort of makes sense. Of course, I don't understand why they would pay the fuel/shipping costs to send something so round about. But that's just me. <shrug>

That was my thought as well. I don't know what it costs to fly this stuff from wherever to Germany to wherever, but over time it must surely be more expensive than opening more hubs elsewhere; that's why I'm sure it was an excuse and not the truth. Why not just tell me it had been mis-routed? I've worked in customer service and most customers aren't exactly happy when mistakes are made, but in my experience nothing makes a customer angrier than finding out they've been lied to.

Pat, I just got word that my PHD is released from customs in Florida. I hope it doesn't go to Amsterdam. We'll see.

The hat from PHD arrived on time and correctly today.

Latest tracking info for mine still says "Departed Amsterdam".

That looks great! What colors are the felt, ribbon, etc?

 

[Rmccamey]

Just picked it up! Chocolate (dark brown) with a burgundy ribbon and binding. The pic above from Rick looks like the ribbon has a light pink cast. In reality, the ribbon is most definitely a deep purple/burgundy against the brown felt. I'll post more pics in a day or two when I get a break. If only I didn't have to work to support my hat habit...or my Harley habit...or...

And ps: thank you Rick at Phoenix for a fantastic hat!!!

It's a fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiine lid, Randy.

I just put in an order for a custom based on a popular style hat. I've changed the colors and some dimensions to more suit my head and face size and shape.

It'll be about 2 months before I have it, but if I get pictures of it when it is done and before it is shipped I will post them here.

That sounds awesome. Looking forward to further updates!

Ended up ordering a second pandanus hat woven in Vanuatu from Rosie.

This one is pretty similar to the Hawaiian Paniolo hat.

I'm digging this one Jonesy. Especially that back brim curl.

Thanks Rick. The local Hawaiian Lauhala (pandanus) Paniolo (cowboy) hat I was trying to copy was like this:

Rosie works with these women in Vanuatu who do the weaving:

I can't wait to see it:

I'm working on a new Hawaiian feather hat band (lei humu papa) to go with it.

I like that one. Nice color. Nice ribbon. Looks bulletproof as well!
I refrain from asking how much something costs so...what would be the market value for this such hat from Rosie??
