What hat are you waiting for today?

[deadlyhandsome]

It looks camel in that pic, but it's natural. Hand dyed 2" ribbon. I picked the one on the right.

Click on the picture to enlarge... and see if the brim treatment gives any clues.

I’m not sure what I’m seeing. Is it an underwelt? I can see a concentric circle just in from the brim edge, but I can’t see any stitching. Natural with blue ribbon makes me think of Phoenix.
I give up.

This was ordered, I believe, before that natural/blue combo came out of Phoenix...

Not a welted brim... no stitching... hmmmm, what could it be? It ships tomorrow.

A Cavanagh edge! No, it couldn’t be.
Ships tomorrow? Are they at least going to sew on the ribbon?

That work bench sure looks familiar to me as does the hand dyed ribbon. And if it is indeed a BSHW then I also know what that edge is. But I won’t spoil the surprise.

I guess I should ask about the ribbon...

I like this color combo, can't wait to see the finished hat. Stealing this idea BTW.

Shipped today appropriately enough from TX and a fellow lounge member.

One more hint? How long ago did you order it?

I thought it was in April, but I checked and found my deposit was paid in July 2017.

And now I got the maker. The wait has been what’s kept me from giving one a try. I don’t know if I’ll even be alive in two years.

I wanted that Pinnacle Edge!

I don’t blame you. Like a lot of us, I think the Cavanagh edge, by whatever name, is the classiest brim treatment. I’ve wondered how Bob does his?

The latest cap Keith Lo Bue made for me. It's on its way to Texas. I specifically asked for it to be a little pointy.

The attention to detail is impressive.

Sí, verdad? I shamelessly asked Keith if he had any cloth left over from a cap he made for Alan.

I asked him if he could make the points pointier than usual. Apparently, that is easier than making them more rounded

I thought that was an old one until I looked at the printing. Very nice. I'm going to have to get a rolled brim sometime. I have a Garfinckle homburg but the brim is way too short and my Dobbs Rancher looks more like a plantation hat, not a true rolled brim.

It’s the nicest SunBody extant.
Mike helped me out with some custom shaping and he installed a leather sweat. It loses some of its “dunk in the water trough” quality, but makes for more of a summer dress hat. I’ll do some more shaping when it arrives.
