I was writing about Wolfbrae in another thread and decided to wear this sky blue beaver in the cool of the morning.
That is icey blue…. feels like you could just take a dip into the cool blueI was writing about Wolfbrae in another thread and decided to wear this sky blue beaver in the cool of the morning.

Nice hat. I really like the colorfull lining....A few days ago I received a Wolfrae hat, my first custom. Robert made it with a dress weight FEPSA 100% beaver body, in Iron color (sort of chameleon rich brown). I am really happy with it!
The hat borrows some design cues from an Open Road: a 5.5" open crown with a bound brim of 3". I put a diamond top crease and a slight curl (sides) and front dip on the brim. I would call this a "western-fedorized OR".

I went with Robert's idea of going "wild" with the liner, as the wearer/owner of the hat is primarily the only one that sees it every time he puts it on. I understand the liner fabric is the type used for Japanese kimonos.Nice hat. I really like the colorfull lining....
Yes, I import it from Japan. It is vintage silk kimono material.I went with Robert's idea of going "wild" with the liner, as the wearer/owner of the hat is primarily the only one that sees it every time he puts it on. I understand the liner fabric is the type used for Japanese kimonos.
Yet another great custom job from Robert. His liners are so cool, too.A few days ago I received a Wolfrae hat, my first custom. Robert made it with a dress weight FEPSA 100% beaver body, in Iron color (sort of chameleon rich brown). I am really happy with it!

Very nice… congratulationsNew hat day: My first Wolfbrae and my first custom hat! I steamed it up a bit, but will certainly play with the shape some more as I wear this hat. View attachment 529186 View attachment 529187 View attachment 529188 View attachment 529189 View attachment 529190

Outstanding! I think your client will be well pleased!This was an interesting commission. Client wanted me to replicate an Aussie Drover style hat. I agreed to make the hat and leave the distressing and trimming to him. Here is a picture of the hat that I worked from. Pecan beaver felt, contrasting vintage grosgrain ribbon on the brim and crown View attachment 531814 View attachment 531815 View attachment 531813
Australia with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman correct? I remember his hat catching my eye in that movie.This was an interesting commission. Client wanted me to replicate an Aussie Drover style hat.

I kinda wanted to do the trimming but def not the distressing! I think in the picture he sent it does look like Jackman.Australia with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman correct? I remember his hat catching my eye in that movie.
Great job Robert!
That movie was so long! At one point I thought it was over…. And then like a whole extra movie took place.I kinda wanted to do the trimming but def not the distressing! I think in the picture he sent it does look like Jackman.
Yep, that's what I thought too.Australia with Hugh Jackman and Nicole Kidman correct? I remember his hat catching my eye in that movie.
