I like the show to an extent, it certainly has much better writing than Agents of Shield. My compaint is with the hats (and lack-therof). The hats all seem to be much more modern than the period. From the ones I've noticed, they're mostly pressed-form creases and not open crown hand-creased...

Just caught back up... takes a day or two... haha. Thanks! I creased both this one and the FPH hat I mentioned to look as close to my take on a Bogart crease as I could figure. I have a vintage Lee that's very similar, but the center bump isn't as prominent because it's not as tall of a...

Great hats today all! AnA, I still love that Cavanaugh! Today I've got a Northwest Hats "Bogart-esque" hat that I had purchased late last winter. It's nearly identical to the FPH hat that I had Mike fix up, though with two notable differences: while still beaver felt, the color is granite...

I haven't been on TFL in a while but here's what I'm wearing today... its a Falcon Park fixed up by Mike at Northwest Hats. I had a new sweat put in, ribbon and bow redone, and the brim reflanged to a snap brim.

Got the Moonstone Fed IV off the shelf for the day:

Went back to the Steston Panama today:

Lately I've been wearing a Stetson Panama but today due to impending rain, I'm wearing my Northwest Bogart custom in granite beaver:

I had virtually the same hat for sale; same era, color, size, specs, etc. Problem is that a size 7 can sometimes be great for finding deals, but lead to long, open sale listings. Beautiful hat, and I hope it finds a good home. Mine is still on my shelf and only gets worn about every other month.

I have a few more pics, but they really dont do Mike's work justice...

Great hats all. Today I'm finally getting out a Lee conversion after replacing the sweat yesterday. I had Parker at FPH turn the 2 3/4" bound brim into a 2 3/8" underwelt and replace the grey 1 1/2" ribbon with a 1 5/8" black one. I haven't worn it before today because of the sweat issues but...

Oh, and I have to say that Mike put my hat together and shipped it approximately 5-6 weeks after I placed the order. But the work was phenomenal and looked like he took his time getting it all just right. No quality lost with the speedy completion...

Thats a good idea, thanks. I've been meaning to put something together for that thread. But for the time being, here's a shot from the parking lot this morning...

Just got this yesterday and its already become my favorite... granite beaver from mike at Northwest Hats.

I'll try to post more in the next day or so... I really like the liner and the sweat is so nice and soft.... anyways, stay tuned for more. :D

Today I received my Northwest Hats beaver in a "Bogart" style that I provided specs for. It's granite, 5 3/4" crown and 2 3/8" overwelt snap brim with a 1 5/8" ribbon. In fact its almost the exact specs of the Falcon Park I have though that one was in steel and has an underwelt brim. I took...
