These are my hats! Thank you Robert for breathing new life into these vintage hats.Here is the third hat of the week from the same client. He had his Ebay purchases sent directly to me for an assessment and cleanup. This hat required very little, just a good brushing, some steam and a bit of touch up on the creasing. Client now has three fine Stetsons to add to his collection. Not a bad week's worth of hat hunting.
Thank you for your kind words. It was a pleasure working with you on this hat. Enjoy!Wolfbrae delivers another winner!
Earlier this week, I received this black nutria western weight from Robert.
He stretched and he pulled but the provided felt would only yield a 6" crown and a 4" brim (I asked him to try to get a 6.5" x 4.5" if he could). Still, it's a beautiful hat.

I dig the US Constitution liner.

The felt is soft and it took a bit of time and patience to get the crown shaped the way I wanted. I also used an 8mm bolo cord as the hatband. (I still need to work on fraying the cord ends and I'm not sure exactly what to do with the brim.)

Black is hard to photograph with good detail (plus I suck at photography.)
Crappy pics aside, this is a terrific hat created by a terrific hatter. I'll be wearing this on the job tomorrow.
Thanks Robert!
