Mike; Wow! That velour fedora appears very luxurious. Something about the felt that makes me want to touch. It has soooo much visual appeal. To that, it is not another brown thin ribboned hat, it IS THE brown velour fedora! Love the hat.

Mike your hat fleet is terrific. It may not be the biggest in the hat collectors ocean, but it certainly is high in quality and diversity. I sound the Boatswains call on the pipe - pipe aboard for Flag Officer Mike! Cheers sir, Eric -

Thanks D-Dan.

Appreciate the kudos Eric, and I tip my hat and drink right back at you. Love your tastes and dress, you've been a great influence to fellow Loungers (including me) and always enjoy your posts. BTW, I was just a lowly enlisted sailor but appreciate the full boat salute As you and Garrett allude to, it is the finish that makes this brown hat special. Bob is really pulling out the stops trying to revive velour finishes.

Mike
This is a Outstanding Hat
Very well done especially the finish
It sure does stand out from the Flock
I completely agree with all the comments posted of it
Your pictures show great detail & it looks great on you as well.

Man! All this praise is choking me up but seriously, all I did was buy a fine hat from Bob!

Mike, as I said in the WHAYWT thread, looks great on ya!

 

[mikespens]

Appreciate it Perry but I think it'd look great on anybody!

Just put the down payment on my first ever black sheep hat; commissioning it to celebrate the birth of my first son due in March. Since I have a hat devoted to my little girl I needed to get one for my boy!

Good plan, Matt. I've always said that each new project should require the purchase of at least one new tool. In the case of a child, it should be considered a life-long project and should require the purchase of a hat that will last a lifetime.

Good to see you, Matt. Congrats on the new baby! Bob does great work.

Nice, Matt! Great to hear from you! Congrats on the upcoming family addition.

 

[mrwilmoth]

outstanding!

To help on that end, here's a lovely heather blue bowler that Bob has made for me. Couldn't be more happy at how this turned out. Thanks to MikesPens as well, his heather blue fedora with the sharks gill ribbon is what gave the idea to go to Bob for this hat. I'll be sure to post a shot of a very pleased customer as soon as it's safely in my hands.

Here's a refurb that I just got in from Bob.

This hat started out as a 40's Stetson Royal Deluxe Supper Club Homburg. It was a 6 7/8 that I had Bob bump up a size. He replaced the sweat with one of his excellent Ostrich leather ones, added a snazzy new brocade liner, and redid the ribbon (the binding is original).

Suffice to say, I love it!

Nice ribbon color and nice work!!

 

[DesertDan]

Wow!
Everything about that hat is a stunner, congrats!
