    Wolfbrae Custom Hatters

    This is an extraordinary idea. I wish I had thought of and done it! I continue to look forward to the opportunity to place my first order for custom "Wolfbrae", hopefully to be followed by many more. Wow what beautiful hats!

    The colors, the ribbon, the style; simple classic elegance... And it's even my size.

    Thank you for the background information. I often find that additional information can be an inexpensive added value helping to appreciate and adding depth to ones consideration of any object. Many of my other purchases have arrived with a little card or pamphlet summarizing the history and...

    A question. What, if any, is the story behind the name "Ragnar" for this hat? I think it may be my favorite style/variation.

    Please understand that I do not wish to offend and that I also can find some prices difficult to justify, that being said... These hats are exceptional and this is a rare level of both art and craftmanship. I would rather see them priced at luxury values than to see them and the maker lost to...

    A touch of magic. They seem to get better and then better again. The veritable cornucopia of quality hat artistry. Thank you.

    Interesting style, I would like to see a direct close up on that ribbon bow. It looks to have multiple folds. Very nice.

    Wolfbrae Custom Hatters

    Not an expert, not particularly knowledgeable, not greatly experienced, however WOW that looks like some superior work to me! I had better start saving up now.

    I am not familiar with either, are they of specific benefit? If so, what?

    Preservation of treasured hats

    I have several nice ceder lined closets where I generally keep the hats, if for any length of time. So "No" I have not considered off site storage.

    Preservation of treasured hats

    Thanks. I typically use a light coat of mink oil on my leathers, I imagine that will be fine for most sweatbands. I appreciate the input.

    Preservation of treasured hats

    So it really is that simple and straight forward! I am accustomed to a lot more effort with my shoes, coats, and especially my suits. It will be nice to have something relatively low maintenance, simply air drip dry as necessary, brush regularly, and good storage, nothing to it. Thanks for the...

    Preservation of treasured hats

    I seem to hit the exact middle between 7 1/8 (57) "seems a little snug" and 7 1/4 (58) "seems a little loose". However that also seems to vary a bit from hat to hat, and from manufacturer to manufacturer. Sometimes i wonder how exacting the measures and standards are for hats anyway? Oh well...

    Berets, Anyone?

    I can not justifiably take credit for the "reboot". I stumbled across this thread and immediately had an image of an artist with easel, paint smeared coat, neat mustache, over size brush, and of course beret, in exotic plaza somewhere, and he just had to be French. Probably a hold-over from some...

    Preservation of treasured hats

    Going out on what I hope is a very short and stout limb here... To be clear: I have searched the threads and conversations here on Fedora Lounge, as well on Google and various "hat sites" (village hat shop, etc...) I am not seeking general cleaning solution. I am not looking for a specific spot...

    Berets, Anyone?

    My generic/superficial (probably wrong) association with berets was as typical of eccentric French painters.
