Greetings All:
Today i’d like to present a hat created by our own CaneRodMaker, Tim of Alley Kat Hat Co. Tim is a humble artisan and craftsman who’s skill belies pictures and must be beheld to truly appreciate. Other’s here have benefited his artwork and i have this example alone to enjoy. All hand stitched (amazing) all hand created.
This example is from work in 2013. I can only imagine the strides achieved in the last 5 years. A man who can craft a split cane flyrod has certainly brought that gift to custom hats. Thanks Tim!!
Be well. Bowen

Spent the morning in a straw, spent the rest of the day in the Texas Hatter Hi-Roller after I had Nate from Nathaniels custom hats do his magic to steam, buff/brush, and reshape it. Amazing how fast he shapes and rolls a hat, what an artist. His wife found the perfect hatband. Before and after photos below.

Today I wore my Dobbs "Panaire" Panama straw. Originally it had a Colonial style (open crown with a thin ridge running from front to back). I didn't like that, so I flatened the ridge a bit and lowered the dome so the crown looks more like a Pork Pie or Gambler. It was a fantastic eBay deal; only cost me 24,- Euro, total.

Super! Can you post a photo of the paper label if available? Does it mention be made under license? I think might be Italian / Panizza.

I'd say Nate and his wife took a great hat and gave it that "Wow!" factor. Really nice work!

I like it! I don't know if it was intentional, but I like the way you left a little of that "ridge" visible on the crown--it's a small detail that catches the eye and makes the crown look a little less "plain". And welcome to The Lounge!
