My last online order didn't fit well, so went to see Nate

in Georgetown as he just received some Sunbody palms. Having him custom crease and steam fit me for this Don William's style straw.

Damn, would I like to have that truck!

Me too. Minus the crew and the umbrella, of course.

How the days events changed. Spur of the moment decision, went to visit David at Texas Hatters...
commissioned him to build me a Half-Breed. Pecan beaver mix & coffee straw. Picked up a cheap palm to go. Dang it Bob...its your fault. lol

 

[BobHufford]

Dang it Bob...its your fault. lol

Ha, ha ... I'm just glad that a store like that is not close enough for any of my spur of the moment decisions. Congrats on the impending hat.

Edit: I dig David's silver and turquoise cuff!

I'm seeing a theme here. Couldn't pass them up at less than $5 each. Size? Someone's size I'm sure!

Unfortunately, you and I are too close in size: if one’s big enough for me you’ll add it to your collection and who’s to blame you? I think you’re going to make some new friends soon.

If only a store like this existed anywhere near me. I wandered into what they call a 'hat store' here in the Vancouver area today and even with limited knowledge knew a lot more than the proprietor. There wasn't a single felt hat in the whole joint. Wool blends and some crappy 'panama' hats.

Doing a tour of the Southern US in September - If anyone has any suggestions on where to check out let me know!

We have way too many hatshops around the Austin area and around Texas. My favorite custom hatters are Nathaniels in Georgetown, Texas Hatters in Lockhart, Aspen Hattery in Austin, Peter Brothers in Fort Worth, Hatco near Fort Worth, plus dozens of off the shelf shops like Caverders Boot City, Allens Western wear, Boot City, The Hatbox Haberdashery, Goorin Brothers, Tinys Western Shop, Mad Hatters Brim & Shave, Everything Australia, just to name a few.... very dangerous place to live.

We love the Vancouver area JW. Been there many times. Heading that way again in October and catching a cruise ship out of Vancouver for an 8 day trip.

But don't set your sights too high. The old , name brand, recognized hat shops I have visited in San Antonio, New Orleans and even Fort Worth - most of the sales staff knew precious little about hats, they carried almost none of the higher quality modern hats, and the custom hats they had were exclusively big, heavy and expensive 20X, 50X, 100X cowboy hats. They were not very interested in making or selling me a full beaver dress weight hat in the $300 +/- range.

Shown as out for delivery but my mail service is by contract carrier & normally don't get Sat service, so it may not show up today.

I hope it does. Kind of anxious to see more of that one.

Me too. Coming double boxed with an old Stetson oval shaped box, so it's going to need some hot iron brim work.

As much as I like hats, I’d rather have your weather. We vacation most summers in the San Juans, and we love it! Felt weather year around!
