    Hi folks, yes, the black watch is a shirt weight fabric; we do have other similar weight wools in plaid, but you will need to communicate directly with us to arrange swatches or photos. We only show those of which we have larger quantities online on the website....www.hatpeople.com

    That is a woven wool, but that particular one is somewhat felted. It has a great weight for cold weather, and just enough drape to shape it, if you know what I mean.

    Hi all, the one Derek WC is wearing is called "black and brown herringbone. The one that is "black and green and brown" is much darker and the weave is really called "birdseye" not herringbone.

    Did you know that the folks at HAT PEOPLE are very pleased to make you a large size hat? We ask all our customers to carefully measure their head with a cloth or plastic tailor's tape, by which means you will get a circumference of your head, be it 24", 25 1/4", 59 cm, or 22"---and we will make...

    This to NEOPHYTE: On the site, we are calling the fabric you got a herringbone, in green, black and brown. Actually, I recently learned that weave is called "birdseye." It is another way they set up the loom to make the pattern come out like that; herringbone is another woven in pattern.

    Folks, just FYI, the black heather with grey highlights is a bit thicker than others we offer; it is even a little bit felted. I like to recommend it for cold weather places: like those snowing ones in the East I keep hearing about lately. Also, it sits firmly on the head with it's slightly...

    All I can say is, The Hat People get around!!! Some of us are Oregon natives, and we know where to go! Actually, we are also on the search for some good brown herringbone wool, for our caps, if anyone has a lead on some good yardage!

    Thank you for showing your new hats, SpeedRcrX! What people would want to know is that the full cut is about 10 1/2" diameter and the xfull is about 11 1/2" diameter.....so you can see how much hat is out to the sides.....also, if anyone is wondering, your head size is 22 1/4"; important info...

    How did you find the lounge?

    We came to the Lounge because many of its wonderful members were discussing our hats! So we joined in the fun! And I must say, they discuss hats with great attention to finer points that other people miss!

    Is Tweed Warmer Than Other Wool Products?

    Wool tweeds are/were the original camo--wearing those blended colors makes the wearer blend in with the natural background...by the way, I am in search of brown herringbone wool, yards of it...any leads?

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    The Pfaff 130 is one of the best!! My fave I picked up in a Goodwill As Is for $5! It had no less than 5 instruction booklets with it! We used parts of another we had, to get it going, as well as another one a friend has....sort of like a Model T!! ....Purrs like a kitten....

    Anybody Else Collect Sewing Machines?

    Those are like a travellin' machine!! Any of the old style Singer machines that has the spokes in the flywheel can be converted to a hand-crank. Singer sells them so they bolt onto the right side where the motor would go...it has about 3 to 1 reduction, and you can take it anywhere and sew!!
