My son received this charcoal rabbit ready to wear from Mike. He did a center crease, wide pinch with a 2 1/8 brim. I had him add the 19 ligne burgundy ribbon. This is my second ready to wear. See post 1644 for pictures of my bronze RTW. The Tonak felts are great. I'm itching for the dove! jerhat2.jpg jerhat1.jpg

Looks great! Out of curiosity, what was the charge to replace the ribbon?

I'm sold on Mike's ready to wear hats, great feel and a lot higher quality than any modern day Stetson for the same money. His deal on these is ending soon, $195 is a super price for this quality. He can add extras (binding, ribbon changes, etc.) for a few dollars more. I have one of the dove gray versions on hold until after Christmas. Super excited about this color. Brims are 2 5/8" with a 5 1/2"(? ish) crown. He will cut them down to a stingy for the Eugene hipsters if needed.

His display in the shop is kind of cool, he has them all lined up in open crown with a sign: "Styled While You Watch" Hats Style choice by you! We do the finishing. I think this will get some high quality fedoras out in the world. I'd give him a call, this price is only for a short time and then they go up. Worth every penny.

Hey, Mike. I’m still interested in getting a dove gray of my own. When you receive yours I’d love to hear your review.

Thanks, Brent

I won't be back down to Mike's for a couple of weeks. Off the rack, they are very high quality. Just like the customs, just "mass" produced (he puts them together when he has a free minute). For the price (unknown at this time), far superior to any off the rack Stetson for the same money. Hell, they are nicer than a new Borsalino (IMHO) in the stores now, for half the price.

I agreed, I have the bronze with the stock charcoal ribbon. Paid a bit extra for a few custom touches. A great hat, great felt, at a very, very fair price.

Yes, I really like mine. I was hesitant to go with the charcoal but could not come up with any other contenders. Mike said he loved the charcoal with the bronze so rolled the dice and trusted his judgement.

Any chance if seeing this color combination in the wild? I’d love to see what it looks like being worn in natural light.

Photos taken inside with a light designed to give a natural sunlight illumination. On my phone the colour looks accurate. The crown is not as full as Phoenix. The work is top rate.
