Folks, I am commissioning a hat from Tony. I am looking to choose a lighter colored felt for this hat. Something along the lines of 'tan/fawn/sand.' The hat is to be a thin-ish ribboned Open Road remake with a Tonyb spin on it. I can't wait to see it on the block, but first I have to pick a...
Thank you for all your kind words, Gents. I've shown this thread to my son, and he can't believe all the positive responses to his work. Its been a terrific boost for him, and tremendous motivation to do some more work. You guys are great!
So, I have a question that has been on my mind for quite some time of late. Is it possible to reblock a fur felt hat to get more crown height (yes, sacrificing brim width) if said hat has a bound brim? I really would like to get a little more height from one of my lids, but its difficult to...
My oldest child, having just graduated from high school this past June, is a talented young artist. He created this shirt for me and I am just pleased as punch to show it off!:cool: Here, I've paired it with a chocolate brown TonyB special, a great hat and the inspiration for the shirt. I...
aught12, that hat sure is a winner.:eusa_clap Wear it in good health! That is the most amazing ribbon I have ever seen. Can you share some stats? Brim width? Crown height? Congratulations on such a fine lid!
You know Brent, as a fellow owner of a chocolate brown Tumwater, I can attest to the powerful influence that it exerts on the wearer. It really is a great color for a hat. One could have a whole rack of these with different color bands and bindings. It would be great. When you know what you...
Wow, three new great hats from Tumwater to ogle!
DJH, that felt looks so buttery soft, and the color is gorgeous. I want my next hat from Tony to be that color felt.
Herzen, that is an amazing lid on you. I love the color combo you have going on there. :eusa_clap
Brent, I have a tonyb...
+1 on this. Try to see some photographs of yourself. From my experience, what I saw in a photo differed greatly from what I saw in a mirror. In the mirror image, the crown looked too tall, but in photographs it looked great. I liked what I saw in the photos much more than what I saw in the...
Thanks, David. That black one is a favorite of mine. Tony's work is first rate, and those pictures your new lid have me jonesing for another tonyb special of my own.
When did Tony update his website? Lot of great lids there. I can also vouch for the fact that Tony is a great guy, and will build you an awesome hat. Tony will work with you each step of the way to create the hat that you want, with plenty of pics along the way so that you know what you are...
I'm ready to be in on this as well. I need this hat. Campdraft, Silverbelly Heritage grade felt, that's all I have to know. Lets make this work. :eusa_clap
