Here is that granite hat I was referring to...... #44-P
Blocked with an open crown 5 5/8", it is a size 7 1/2 or 23 3/4" cut, it has a center dent in it right now.
Brim is 2 3/4" bound. It has a slight rake to it with the front @ 4 3/8" and the back @ 4 1/2".
15/16" vintage 40's grosgrain.
This is a dress weight, 100% beaver, Granite.
pay close attention to the seem and "closed loop" on the bound edge.....it's nearly perfect. This is no easy to do, by any means. He also does his pouncing all by hand, no machines for that. He is letting this one go for $250 + shipping to whomever would like it.

Like I stated above, he is looking for a name for this one and is asking for your help with that. Thanks for looking.

Check out the "closed loop".










 
Thank you everyone.
I'm lucky to have Kurt near by. He takes great pictures.
For sure the thread. ... future website and all future hats will be well documented.
Glad to be here....glad to be making a quality hand crafted

How did you take those if I may ask?

Hi Esther. I am going to ask bolthead (Kurt) to tell you the type of camera he uses and the photo editor he uses. It would get you pointed in the right direction if you are seeking digital photo equipment . Thank you for the good words on the thread. Always appreciated.

Hey guys. Just wanted to post what Tim's made. I wish it were for me! Let's call it a riff on the classic whippet.

i think the
"Edwards" is a name he would like, next perhaps the "Leonard"
what a shame i have so many granite ones as it is my size
my black CRM is one of my favs and my dress up go to the bank hat
great to see him concentrating on hats again

Thanks guys!
That hat will be on a lounge members Etsy site soon.

Also.....thank you Gabe for helping me with Instagram.

Guys I am still Cane BUT I need a company name.....and I've decided on....

Alley Kat Hat Co.

My next focus is custom liners for my product.

There was a fork in the road; I took the less traveled path and am glad I did!

Keep me busy gentlemen!

Thanks
Tim
