My new Hufvud arrived yesterday evening. This is my first true custom, and my first experience with felt that contains a notable amount of beaver. Mikael's work is astounding. The felt is light, soft and flexible, but holds its shape like nobody's business. I love the blue tones in the...

Thanks Joe. Mikael sent pics with an astounding number of brim-binding colors to choose from. I feel like I may have gone the easy route, but I love the black.

This hat will be worn again on Saturday at a friend's wedding, but it just felt good to snap a quick pic of the Moonstone CD.

Whoops! Just ordered another Hufvud and my first actual custom. For the interested: Bogart Fedora, Emerald Grey (50x Beaver Blend) with bound brim. Have not firmly decided upon the color of ribbon/brim-binding yet. Going to work with Mikael on that - I want to see what a dark burgundy looks...

Black CD for this overcast Wednesday. And here it is resting on its stand on my desk.

Low light pic and fly-away bow-tail notwithstanding, the Cedar Brown CD spruced me up for an early morning grocery run. I'm going to be in a friend's wedding soon, and I need a grey suit, so I switched to the Moonstone CD to head into town and confront that obstacle. The groom and I have...

Not sure why I chose this vertigo-inducing angle, but it was chillier than I expected on my lunchtime walk so I was in a hurry to get a picture of the Taupe Fawn Campdraft.

Back to the Hufvud.

Wow Joe, that one really catches my eye. Beautiful hat.
