I would be interested in what Tonak call this one. It looks like a Flamand. Is it Hare? I saw mixed pre dyed felts being made at TONAK.

MIke ... I've been on the fence about ordering for a few months ... just slightly intimidated by the wait ...Che is Photobucket challenged at the moment but he emailed me some pics so I'm taking the liberty. Believe me, this body was a limp piece of felt and Bob was pretty sure he couldn't do anything with it but said what the hell and had a go. It qualifies as vintage tissue weight, check out how thin the brim is. 2 3/4 oz total. Enjoy

Mine is to be the blue heathered fur felt with the short nap scorch finish, impermeable tip shield, Halo+one trim & 3/4" ribbon with Fray bow.after a long discussion I decided on the Arctic Gray heathered Tonak felt with a scorch finish which is where he literally takes a flame to the long haired heather felt and shortens the nap instead of pouncing ...

I just ordered one a few weeks ago. Went in with the intention of a beaver felt but ended up with a Loden green heather Tonak felt. It was too nice to pass up....now the wait begins.MIke ... I've been on the fence about ordering for a few months ... just slightly intimidated by the wait ...

Thanks!Yes, melanges.
I use them frequently. Great definition. They blend 3 colors.
By far my favorites to work with.
Bob is always supplementing the number of descriptive sweatband stamps he uses, maybe he should add "Black Sheep Hat Rescue"
