Suh-weet.

What I thought too!

What I thought too!

Does Delk do grey hats anymore, or was that just something he did back when he still offered rabbit felts too, before he focussed down to the "true art"?

Karol, that grey Delk is awesome! cheers to you! wear them with confidence!:eusa_clap

Thanks for posting, RBH. I, too, agree that Adventurebilt is sweet!

Steve made it for me a little over a year ago, he had some charcoal gray he got in that was such a curious color -- not so dark that it looked black, but a color that sometimes, in the right light, looks gray, other times it looks brownish gray.

When he sent swatches, it was the color I wanted most, I did not have a dark gray hat, already had a brown Akubra Federation that had been Indy-ized (is that a word?), so wanted another color.

I also have some B!Wear caps photos, plus a Snowy River western hat if anyone wants to see.

K.D., Thanks for the photos. I especially wanted to see that black Open Road. Great looking hats, and some nice variety, too.

Thanks, RBH.

You know, I never noticed there was a fly on the hat in that first shot.

Fly or no, that hat is a thing of beauty.

That really is a very nice piece of work. Even the fly thinks so...

Good on Rusty helping Karol out, too. I think she should give him the AB as a thank you. lol

You beat me to it, Karol. No flies on you, eh?

 

[Vintage Betty]

Fantastic hats! :eusa_clap But I really love this photo...

Thanks so much for sharing!

Yeah...Anyone getting a Kathy Bates vibe off Karol here?

Great lids...If I spot you next time I am in DSM I'll introduce myself. :fedora:

 

[deelovely]

Yes! Very nice hats!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Glad you shared with us!

 

[Feraud]

The black Open Road is a beauty!

 

[K.D. Lightner]

Thanks, all. No fly on my photo with the old Borsalino, but, after the fact, I noticed the trolley strap was loose. You can see it at the edge of the hat. I used to wear those hats to work, and at work, when I was a social worker in San Diego.

I am flattered at the Kathy Bates comparison. I used to act, too, and love being compared to the really great actresses.

And, yes, I probably should make out my will and leave the AB to Rusty. Hope his head size is a 7 1/8.
