I can imagine that indeed.

I notice that their sizes only go up to 62. I wonder if they can go up 1 cm. Can't hurt to ask.

Hi, Panos,
Sorry, but to what were you referring when you said,"much lower?" Also, may I ask the color of that hat?

Getting the exact crown height is not a straightforward measurement. My best estimation would be around 1.5cm less. It's still tall but I went for a center dent instead for the deep teardrop I had in mind. I've come to appreciate it as is but that wasn't the original plan.
I don't intend to affect anyone's impressions and opinions about certain hatters. I think it's a decent hand but as all custom ones has it's pros and cons. Just my humble opinion.
Color is sage and I love it. Hope this helps,
Panos

Thanks for sharing your thoughts Panos.
Heck, I'll bet you can find flaws on a 1k Optimo. After all, they are made by human beings.

Do you have other beaver felts that you can compare to the Fepsa beaver? Opinion?

Yes i have. I have a Northwest hats co and a Kansas city hatters. That are both beautiful hats, but very stiff. Fepsa is way more softer. I like both, but Fepsa is my favorite.

Hornskov has to be my favorite hat maker - the quality, work detail, style, best liner of all hat makers worldwide, service and add to that free postage!
My second in the making, third on order and fourth being thought about with this reward system.
Originally planned for a natural beige brim binding, but a bit of extra razzmatazz is maybe called for with the navy. Wind cord and c crown to follow. Thoughts?

A rare sighting of the Pinnacle edge BSHW! If I had the patience I’d order one or two. Maybe the trick is to forget about it until it arrives (like that’s possible).

Another in the finishing room. A Mogul. I chose the first ribbon. Though the second and greyish one certainly adds a more classic touch. Again, superb work and service from Hornskov. Bravo

Nebula actually....really looking forward to this....100% beaver from Portugal I believe. If it was steel I would have chosen the second grey ribbon though. I think the top ribbon brings out the green in the Nebula.

My question, and I’ve asked Hornskov directly without an answer, is why their reshapable line is only available in 50% beaver. I don’t mind a blend, but is their 100% beaver just as reshapable? Is the name just a marketing decision or is that 50% beaver felt more reshapable than the 100%?
After re-reading Panos’ @PanosChris comment on not getting the exact dimensions he specified, I’ve sent Hornskov another message asking if they can guarantee the 7cm brim and 15cm crown. Ideally the crown would be 15.25cm, but a FULL 15cm will be close enough for me. If the answer is yes then I’ll pull the trigger. Fingers crossed.

Catherine is usually very good at answering - but it maybe that the answer was not clear to her. I'd almost suggest you place an order, and put your specs in the comments and follow up with a mail. Once it gets on the block, Peter will pick it up and make sure you get what you want. I'd go for a full beaver, and ask that its malleable with your specs, and I'm pretty sure you will get what you want. Often the order speaks louder than words, and I can vouch for their service and detail on finish especially on custom specs. I understand you would want this before the order, but I can also tell you that they will deliver. I'd give the dimensions, ask for beaver, and say you want it shapeable. 2-3 months later the magic will be delivered with free postage.

I asked for a sample swatch of the Nebula as it looked a nice blue on my monitor but the sample arrived and it looked so very dark....almost a black so I didn't order.
