    Hi, if I were you and knowing your felt manufacturers specs, on the basic staple rabbit, and 100% dress beaver, rough blocking, that you are going to use then I'd probably hold off on spending 100.00 for a small block, that doesn't really suit my needs. Would it be nice to have, maybe, but will...

    I have not read much of this post topic but got the jist. Answer IMHO yes. But you need to know if your holding a body big enough to cover 6.5 inches, and have a little something left for brim. But....let's explore further. You have a roughed body will you use the FULL block? Sent from my...

    Best thing you can do is have the base of the block measured. Regardless on how it is size marked. Yes you take into account the reduction for the swearband......so your block should be 1/4 inch bigger at its bottom circumference, than what the sweatband measurement is for that size head..say...

    Good morning Cindy. I was doing some work over the weekend for Daniel. I want to tell you, I did post a series on IG. I picked up over 125 followers in less than 24 hours. It was told to me one day, from a lounge member down under, to tell a story, within the IG feed. Look for this flanged...

    Trying to capture the true feel of the ribbon, on a hat body. Sometimes I just can't get a good shot, o natural. Lighting and time of day, indoor, outdoor, weather, all factors in a good true photo. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk

    I'll show you the bolt, it is pure Black Bob. Here is something I noticed, on some old ribbon, it allows light through, so in a sense, I believe some of the whiskey color of the body, changes the hue. If I wrapped a piece if this ribbon, over my finger, you can, if you look hard, see my skin...

    That 4th. picture isn't true, the ribbon is not blue. It is 1/2 inch vintage black. I'll see if I can get that taken care of. Thanks for the post, because I know now, the hat is not seen as it is to be to lounge members viewing

    Kurt, thanks for posting those pictures for Bob. Let's hope some reviews on Tropical Bob's custom, handcrafted AlleyKatHat, hit the thread soon. Not for me, for Bob. Look at that Kool Kat. Follow along on Instagram, for more portfolio pictures and work in progress. #alleykathatco Thank you

    I'll be starting on that hat today Cindy. So this week, while waiting for your blocking to finish drying....I kept busy and made a hat and I've began working on my ETSY. I have pictures of this 7-1/2 on my Instagram. #alleykathatco
