Great shot, R! There's a saying here that goes, "If [insert unlikely outcome; like, Tukwila stops buying customs], I'll eat my hat!" Well, you could DRINK your hat!

Happy Anniversary Alan. If your hats weren't enough for me to worship you by, are those Bonsai on the table? You are a true master of all things.


Another stellar hat Eric. Love the ribbon.


Sweet back bow John. I was under the idea that the back bow styles came back in fashion between 1955-1959. That is where I date mine.


Best of luck to you Bill. When I first looked at this I thought you had a Mallory "Four" (IV)!




Love the navy Gannon, makes me want to wear mine tomorrow!


Wonderful color and shape Steve. Super cool advertising.


Love a bone felt, this one is super nice Brent.


You just have these hats just fall into your hands whenever you are out and about. You amaze me.


So beautiful Bowen. Smooth as the proverbial baby's patoot!


Love that corded ribbon Doug.


Super impressive! What a brim.


Hope all went well today. I'm catching up after being gone all day... Love that ribbon (like most of the Art creations), and the color combo.
Ask me. About it!! I have 2!! Ja ja ja

Fall is here. It really cooled off last night and finally feels as if the season is changing.

Mallory Dallas for Saturday errands.

Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Here in NorCal, we know Fall has arrived when the trimmigrants start to show up holding their handmade cardboard signs with drawings of scissors. :)
Nice Mallory!

Today I am wearing the Hufvud that arrived without trouble from Sweden to Mexico City.
It had a different-colored ribbon when it got here, but Mikael sent me an extra ribbon in the box the hat arrived in, and I liked this one better, so I had Ignacio replace it.

The first picture is of the box the hat arrived in. It is very well designed to preserve the hat, but I wish I had an Hufvud box to keep the hat in, like the ones Optimo and VS provide. Mikael sends a nice cloth dust cover instead.

I gave Mikael my size as 58.7, and he sent me a size 59. It was too big, so I asked Ignacio to conform it to my head.
Now that it fits perfectly, I am much happier with it. [emoji5]

As I told Brent by PM, I really like the shape, proportions and color. The leather sweatband and its markings are beautiful. The quality of the craftsmanship itself looks very good to me, although I know I am no expert.

I had never had a rabbit/hare blend felt in my hands before. It is soft and looks nice from a distance, but it feels a little coarse to the touch, and is difficult for me to shape even with steam, again probably because I am no expert.

I must say I feel there is a disparity between the design and quality of Mikael's work and the quality of the felt he has to work with.
It is as if Willi Geller, the famous dental ceramist, had to make crowns with Ceramco porcelain, not Vita porcelain.

I am still very happy with the way it looks on me.

It looks great, Max. Sorry about the mediocre felt quality. Hufvud offers beaver blends and 100% beaver, but their prices don’t make sense to me compared to others. I hope your felt gets better with age and use; it certainly looks nice.
