Gorgeous. Rick has done excellent work.
Liner and label photos in the Dobbs Diner thread if you're really bored.
Nice! I see a good many of those around here when the weather cools down. Dobbs also makes some mighty nice tweed 8-panel caps. The one store in town here that sells decent dress hats usually has a stack of 'em come fall.Dobbs made tweed Trilbys.
Who knew?
Ken, the more I study your pics & the more I look at his FB pages (not much on his website or it's being updated?) I really like what he is doing. Would like to learn more from him. I don't imagine there are many of his hats around. You got lucky finding one that's a great fit for you too!They could've just stamped my name right into this hatband. The Tatton Baird feels like it came off my conformer. Perfect fit. Arrived today from the ebay seller in the original hatters box. Very well made pure beaver. All seams, ribbon, and finishes appear top notch. I'm most happy with the soft, rich Coyote color & finish. Brim 2.75 / Crown creased to 5.25. The Country Gentlemen from Tatton Baird. 2 thumbs up for this OR clone.

I know, his website is terrible. He is on Facebook and Instagram. He has some bad reviews because he is hard to get hold of and doesn't return calls.
I wish his webpage was better, more like a catalog of his work. I'm not a fan of FB & Instagram.
He has a bunch of videos posted on YouTube also
Nice! I hope you're able to "coax it back to size" 'cause it's definitely your style.My first Churchill. Seller called it 70s. It's gonna need a little time on the stretcher and some work to get a few dents out but it's a fine hat, nice tall straight crown, really supple felt, and a felted edge. Reasonably enough priced that I took a gamble on it, I hope I can coax it back to size. It'll make a good daily driver.

I too sent an inquiry into Buckaroo....never received a reply. Could be he has all the work he can handle. Dropped into Lympia Creek Hatters in West Texas. Friendly guy willing to chat but also told me he was no longer accepting orders as his book was over 12 months long and did not want it to grow any longer.
I inquired with them as an old post here mentioned they had some stock of Fepsa beaver. In discussion with Hufvud. He is looking to expand his Fepsa beaver line-up later this year. I may have found my source.
I right there with you Brent. That is why Mike Miller has become by new "hat guy".
