Photos of hatters tools
Okay, not strictly a hatter's tool although I do intend to use it to cut leather hatbands. I am always in awe of the quality and durability of the things we made in this country one hundred years ago. I'm also saddened when I think about how many things we make in this country today that will be...- humanshoes

The seller called this one Oxblood, but it's really anybody's guess. In person it looks to be a brownish very dark red, or a reddish brown, or a dark rust, but hey, we've already established my color vision deficiency (deuteranomaly) so what the hell do I know. My color expert is still in...- humanshoes

This one made me laugh my ass off Jonesy. It's nice to see you've adapted so well to the laid back island attitude. How many custom hat buyers would say something like "Hey man, just let me know what kind of hat you're making me and when I'm getting it."? Priceless my friend. Just priceless.- humanshoes

I'm thinking Milan straw for you Jonesy. Should be much more durable in the wet climate.- humanshoes

All this talk of retirement is killing me. I'm a year away from my own "semi-retirement" and I should have more time to devote to my other pursuits. I have a mobile hat shop on the drawing board and still want to find the ideal space for a working hat studio. Hey, a fella can dream can't he?- humanshoes

True to his word, my hat tool customer in Columbia sent me these straw hat body samples. On the left is the Brisa grade, on the right is the Fino grade, and in the middle is what I consider to be a masterpiece of the weaver's art, the Super Fino. It's great to finally have a reliable source for...- humanshoes

I purchased this ribbon from Etsy seller EarthGatherings2 and I believe I got her last 16 yards, but it wouldn't hurt to check. I hope it's as nice as the picture makes it look.- humanshoes

Of course, you know you're a lucky man to have a good woman in your life to keep you sartorially correct. I once bought a pair of blue jeans that fit me perfectly and I loved. I was wearing them in the grocery story one day and a woman commented, "I love your purple jeans". Needless to say, I...- humanshoes

Thanks Terry! I usually have my lady friend help me out with color choices but she is laid up in New York right now. It seems I have color deficient vision in certain spectrums and sometimes I need a little help. All part of the fun.- humanshoes

That's what I get for buying ribbon labeled plum and just going with it. My bad. No worries though, we'll get it changed out for you. It's the first hat I've taken back so I guess my batting average is still pretty good. I have this vintage dark purple on order and we'll see how it looks. I...- humanshoes

I feel the same way about minimum orders and inflated shipping charges. I don't like them. On the other hand, I want to support US based suppliers that cater to the hat making industry and I really have no idea about the challenges they face just staying in business. Every time I try to source...- humanshoes
