I think every weekend I would have to do a hat shop tour if I lived in Oregon.
We don't get out every weekend, but we're headed to Eugene to see Mike at NW Hats this weekend. We're going to make a day of it, take a leisurely drive, stop at sights, eat here and there and pick up a pecan custom and a western-to-outdoorsy fedora conversion I gave to Mike about 7-8 weeks ago.

Oh, and I grew up in the Seattle area so next time we go up that way to visit family I think a side trip to see BSHW is in order...

Bragging and showing off is so inappropriate. I'm not envious, I swear. :cool:

I'm awaiting a custom beaver fedora from Northwest Hats. It's coming UPS slow boat and won't be here for a few days. A classic style seen in countless late twenties and early thirties films and pictures: pale gray, wide black ribbon, straight sides with just a center dent, 2-5/8 bound brim. Mike sent me this picture last week:

This is my first custom hat after fifty years of hat obsession - I'm very psyched!


Super.

I want something similar in bone with a black ribbon and brim edge. The bow should be plush and twofold.

Basically a felt panama hat for cooler months.
