New custom fedora

[Eric P]

Just picked up from D bar J (http://dbarjhats.net/) here in Las Vegas. You exceeded my expectations. It is rabbit felt, Sahara in color. Perfect for the Nevada desert. Thanks Dave at D bar J hats, and Mr. JWalls (http://shelbysfinefedoras.com/) for your help.

Very attractive hat. May we see the inside as well?

And welcome to the Lounge!

Very nice job. I'm a fan of the ribbon size you selected also. What is the brim size, out of curiosity?

 

[Eric P]

Brim 2 3/4, crown open 5 1/2, ribbon 1 1/16? (ribbon measurement done with pocket measuring tape).

Not the best of pictures of the inside,

No wonder I like it! 2 3/4 is in my strike zone for best hats. I see many with 2 1/2 or less that are good-looking, but I know they wouldn't work on me.

WOW. Some hats just get "nice hat" while others immediately get requests for specs. You'd be amazed at where else those specs will pop up now.

Either way, that's a sharp looking fed, Eric! Thanks for the heads up on yet another custom hatter.

Nice looking lid, Eric.

Very, very nice hat. Thanks for the pics and the links too.

 

[Eric P]

Thanks everyone!!

That inside liner is the most intoxicating color I've ever seen. I think I touched my computer screen with the outer surface of my eyeball!
Very, very nice hat, and congrats!!!

That is indeed gorgeous, and I too love the liner. Its funny how something unseen by many really makes the item for the owner. Just like the lining of a fine suit or a custom pair of shoes. Its the unseen areas of quality I really like.

If you haven't taken the time yet, visit D bar J website and watch the "Making a custom cowboy hat" video. They have some really nice vintage equipment!

BTW, I have a D bar J cowboy hat and the quality is excellent. I didn't get the girl in the liner though.

I like that Crown Iron.

 

[Spats McGee]

Just gorgeous! :eusa_clap

I wish I could afford one of Shelby's Fine Fedoras, but they are some of the most expensive hats I've seen despite all my research for the past several months.

 

[jbucklin]

Matt, what's a Crown Iron? (still a newbie)

 

[Matt Deckard]

I learn something new every week here. I wish it were every day, but I'm slow on the uptake.

Look they have a 25% discount for Fedora Lounge members.

Now I'm upset that I'm staff.

Real quality permeates both design and any and all materials used to make any given object. Real quality is not a facade. It is found by looking behind and under and inside things too. Quality goes beyond surfaces to touch all the senses.
