Thanks Bill.
Those 2 are my favorites. I'm going to try for some Dino pics too.
I'd love to get one of those giant Ice Age Elk racks to use for a hat rack but my curator friend said no :(
Here are some of my first pics. Since the hat doesn't fit me I thought I'd have some friends pose with it.
From the Los Angeles Natural History Museum
The Llama
The Mastodon
Mastodon and Elk close up
and finally the Bison
it's good to have friends who are curators :)
Sorry Anj, that was me. I thought it would go for more than it did.
I bought the black long hair in his last batch and it' beautiful, I just had to have it :)
I think you are right but I'd like to see what could be done with beaver just for comparison. Personally I like that Anton Peschel Velour the best of what I've seen of your collection but if the Hückel Superior Crystall Velour was a darker color it's would be the all time winner.

If it was my hat I'd get out the spray bottle and my band block and it would be a perfect fit in a few days.
Well, that hat had been unpacked and is currently sitting with all my hats getting to know the new temporary room mates :)
Here's the one pic I have. Forgive the grim look but I've got some damage to my facial nerves and that's the closest I can get to a smile. Scary I know :eeek:
Sadly as...
I've got a Peluche on order from Beaver Brand. I sent them a message asking about Peluche hats and the said they were not currently offering one but would be glad to make one to my specs. I agree that for the price I'd normally go custom but I don't know any custom hatters offering anything like...
Here you go, it's kind of a fake pleated liner. I cut the plastic tip protector out.
I've thought of cleaning it up but I really like the patina it's acquired over the years.
