What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Wyldkarma]

I asked about the brushes & she told me $45.00 but she may have been including shipping. I didn't buy one.

She gave me a bit of discount since I bought the hat and other stuff. Yeah, a bit pricey but I've never seen another quite like if and she puts them together right there in the shop.

I figured as much & without a hat order from me she had to cover her shipping charge.

Wow. I guess they have taken an Optimo approach in not accepting work inn any hats but their own... nice hat, but customer service is lacking. Clearly.

I was just scrolling back through these posts an idea hit me pretty hard. If hatters are turning down work as a pattern, not just a rare one here or there, and if other hatters are having larger backlogs, that's pretty strong evidence that there truly is an upsurge in the wearing of men's hat.

Hey folks!
No. 8 today. Made in honor of poor, dear old Banned Bob, this brim-up black on black beast is also called the Lord Hemingway. Winchester bunny felt.

Have a great day!

That's great work!
Buy some thimbles and a set of those magic goggles Max wears for crying out loud.

Or fewer people making hats. Is it the supply or the demand side?

Or the same hat wearers just upgrading to custom fur felt hats instead of mass produced hats made of paper, toyo, shantung, wool, cotton, etc.

 

[TheOldFashioned]

That's a hat with presence, Jonathan. Masterful.

Super hat!

Wow, striking!

The name's a mouthful, but the hat's an eyeful.
And the ribbon, again!
I'll have finish scrolling later.

Great to see the Redfokker flying again!!
As someone here says “Gills, gills, gills”!!
You look great, color looks good and i believe you’ve lost some weight.
Maybe there’s a voice app you can use to dictate your posts. My kids do that with txts. Idk
Prayers for a healing touch and recovery!!

Thanks Bowen! Yes, I have lost 45 pounds through all this. Aside from being in too much pain to eat, my new medication +(trulicity) has killed my apatite as well. My black hats are getting a workout down at our community theater. I'm Stage Managing Mama Mia. My cast wont let me do much, but I have a great crew.

The third of the Holland batch of hats via Stefan. The first two were English, this one, German from the Resolut Hutfabrik.

The high crown and wide brim, plus the dapper top hat wearing gent on the liner appealed to me.

This is indeed a Homburg that will not go unnoticed out and about.

You wear it well, Steve (of course you do). Unique style this Resolut and it walks the fine line between homburg and a more western style. Can't beat that colour scheme of course.

That hat does make a nice statement, Steve.

Very cool hat, John and I think your best effort so far. I think Bob will approve, as he will of the name Banned Bob. It has sort of an outlaw ring to it, which suits him I think. Get the women and children to safety: Banned Bob is coming to town!
He is missed and really should be back here.

What an amazing little shop. I was met by Covi and we began the 2 hr process of ordering my new western weight beaver hat. About 30 minutes in Chandler showed up and helped with the decision process. Very knowledgeable and charismatic gentlemen. My final choice was an OD Moss with chocolate brim binding and hatband 3 1/4" brim and 4 1/8" crown with center valley. Afterwards he took the OR style Country gentlemen by tatton I wore there and reflanged it, tweaked the brim shape and made it fit a little better to my head. He gave a full tour of his shop and explained his hat making process. He told me my Country gentleman from ebay is a dress weight pure beaver and knew exactly who he made it for. Here's a few pics of his shop and him tweaking my hat.

Very cool, Ken. Nice write up and great pics. From the youtube vids you get the impression he knows what he's doing.

Just when I thought I had seen them all, you manage to come up with another one. Impressive hat, Eric. Quite the crown on that one. Excellent casual outfit by the way.

It's chamois week (or suede, or antilope, or chevret). Just because (I just made it up).
Lembert antilope

Yes, it's raining.
