Here's another hat Tim just finished for a client. They wanted staple rabbit in rust color with some sort of highlight, so he did put it in the grosgrain, which they wanted a frayed edge.....it is a 3/8" pencil curl, his 1st attempt. This is from his phone, I will take photos this week sometime.

As promised to "belfastboy", more photos of his Hat, it's on it's way, enjoy and welcome to the Alley Kat Brotherhood.

THAT is Bad to the Bone @belfastboy , @Cane Rod Maker , and @bolthead ! Great Work on everyones' Part ! Congratulations !

You're gonna love this hat in hand. I'll be taking better photos later this week. Message me if there's something I can include in the shoot, if I can accommodate, I most certainly will.

I sure love your work as much as Tim's! Looking forward to when you all can put together a Calendar.

Absolutely amazing hat belfastboy! The color, brim curl and ribbon treatment are truly class all the way! Tim, you just keep on turning out the finest! Your work always excites me just as much as it does the owners. Kurt your photography is always done to perfection! Appreciate it!

Good morning all. I had a chance today to look at the thread, and I see a lot of good words. I appreciate everyone's responses.

I'm currently finishing a Campaign hat, with a large brim and 5/8 curl. Gentleman wished for a "scout crease" I'm leaning toward the "Frontiersman" for a namesake as it earns a position in the line up.

It really turned out great, I love it . Photos this week as I finish it up. Last minute bow mind change by client, but not a problem.

CINDY - HARV - T.BOB felt going on blocks this week.

So, I stopped down the shop to visit with Tim, just to see how things were goin.....much to my surprise, I received, from Tim what turned out to be a very cool, early Christmas present. He gave me a 100% beaver, whiskey colored hat he had made for a client in the UK who wasn't happy with the finished product. Not wanting any negative words or feedback, the guy was refunded. Even tho Tim is out the cash he spent, but also 60 hrs of work. Now I can graciously say that this hat is upon my head and I'll wear it with pride.....Thanks my friend. Here's a few teaser photos Tim took so I can post, more photos to come.

I'd be quite satisfied with that! Very generous of Tim (but that appears to be a two way street with you fellas).

I keep looking at this hat and imagining it with a slightly smaller brim, black band and edging, and so on. It's the first thing I think about when I wake up every day. I forgot how much fun it is to have a custom job done. Really looking forward to it.
