I Love My New Buckaroo Fedora

portolan · Apr 20, 2009

I have been absent for over three weeks. I trust all is well with all of you. While on my extended road trip I received my new Mike Moore Buckaroo fedora. I haven't been able to post it til now. It is a wonderfully soft lightweight beaver fedora from a felt I picked out on our tour of the Winchester plant. Mike has done a spectacular job on a hat with which I am very pleased. Mike was terrific throughout the whole process. I left it up to him to make me the perfect hat from the felt. He was wonderful in every way and I am thrilled.

Congrats to Mike for another wonderful fedora. So soft and wonderful...you are the man!

I got to see the almost finished hat first hand.
It looks even better on you!
Great job Mike

The hat is a moss green

A wonderful color....So soft....Great job Mike!

Great looking lid Portolan, that cinches the color green needing to be added to the collection.

Wonderful lid, and I have to agree that the shade of green is a winner

Yes, indeed. I can almost feel the quality right through the screen.

Wonderful hat, Phil. :eusa_clap :eusa_clap And, it is my favorite color!!!!!!!!!!

Colby Jack · Apr 20, 2009

There is something so special about that moss green color.:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Oh man, that is spectacular! I was there when that hat was just a raw felt body and a twinkle in your eye. lol NOW look at it. Kudos to Major on the making of it and to you, my friend, for wearing it so well. Super combo with that shirt and jacket. :eusa_clap

majormoore · Apr 20, 2009

Love the jacket, shirt combo, thanks Phil for letting me make this hat for you, not many people get to hand pick his or her own felt body at a plant like you were able to do, hope it stays with you a long time.

Again, hat and jacket look very great.

Fantastic, Mike and Phil...moss green is perfect. Clearly a Buckaroo has to be in my future!

Benny Holiday · Apr 20, 2009

Look at that colour . . . Scottyrocks is right, you can feel the quality of that felt and construction just looking at the pics. :eusa_clap

barrowjh · Apr 20, 2009

Awesome! Great looking hat, and I am partial to greens anyway. Beautiful felt!

Portolan, I just posted recently in 'The Magic of Major Mike Moore' thread about a 'rescue' job I commissioned with Mike while at the Winchester get-together; he did a fine job with that hat also:
