I got this Dobbs Winner the other day, and I liked it, but I wasn't crazy about the pug. Somehow, combined with the brim binding, it seemed too fancy to me. Perhaps a little too urban, like some of the Dobbs Steve Harvey line.

So I ordered a striped pug from Shushan's and just installed it. It looks much better now, in my opinion. I think I chose the pug colors well.

Sir, you have inspired me. I liked the combo so well that I ordered THAT VERY HAT upon seeing this post. I really like those "pugs" on their website. However, I found another site that had some nice ones as well, and ordered a few from them. When they arrive, I will attempt to post a picture. Thank you!

What would be that site? The problem with Shushan is that they do not send anything overseas. I would like to find one that does.

Cool, you made a good choice. Let's definitely see some pics when you get the hat and hatband.

This Adam Derby arrived a couple of weeks ago. Size isn't too bad, but the sweat is virtually detached and the ribbon missing. Will probably take it to Patey's to see what they can do.

Nice shape to it.

Has taped sweat and thankfully has the label under the sweat still.

The Hat is perfect no defects and there is no wear at all on the edge of the hatband. There where flecks of what looks like glue in the hat. Also in the hat box was a pair of lamb skin gloves the same dove color. They are too small for my hands.

Billy, Always great to see a Derby and especially an Adam! Would Patey try reattaching the original sweat? Also are they able to replace the brim binding? I have some old Bowlers that need this type of work but I don't think anyone could do it correctly here in the USA.

AGH! SO HIDEOUS! Surely it hurts your eyes... you should get rid of it inmediately.. send it over to a far away place... Mexico maybe... :cool:

... I know someone who could help you there...:D

I think Ohio would be a better home for that poor hat.;)

LOL. Thanks Kaonashi & hatophile. As soon as I look in the mirror and cant stand the sight of the hat any longer, I will know where to send it. ;);)
