Missed you too! And unfortunately, the master bedroom ended up being a much larger project than anticipated. I'll be ready after this weekend, though! So say a prayer that Baby Blue stays comfy in her current accommodations until next weekend at least haha.- blueAZNmonkey

Anyone know anything about this hatmaker Daquino?
I've had a similar experience with D'Aquino. Like you, I would still lean toward a "positive" rating of the shop overall whilst resolving to find other means for procuring custom hats.

Akubra stiffness
Yeah there's a queue at the moment so I wouldn't get to it for a while =) I will say, though, that the hand-feel of my homemade pieces (which are made using modern felt caps) usually comes down to how much I pounce them.

Dang, DH! 700.00 on tools is an investment, indeed! Although, IIRC you have a larger head size so vintage blocks would be difficult to locate. One of these will be the next addition to my collection:- blueAZNmonkey

I'll throw this out there as well... Once you've made the initial investments of a block, flange, sandpaper, and steamer (and dealt with the learning curve), making your own hat is probably the least expensive way to increase your custom lid collection. A hare capelline usually runs around 30-40...- blueAZNmonkey
