Thanks PJT I anxiously await this work of art

I recently ordered one called "The Weekender" from Parker. Pretty much like it looks here

Can't wait. It's the first custom I've ever ordered.

I ordered one of those too. Great looking hat!

A few weeks ago I ordered an oxblood.

Do tell! I didn't see that one on the swatches!
Someone recently mentioned he has other colors either soon or now-- are they secrets?

Congrats Historyteach-- you'll be impressed with his work!

No secrets, I saw the hat in the movie Public Enemy and told Parker I wanted one. He found the felt and now he making me the hat. Parker will try and make anything you ask for.

My Falcon Park custom is in the mail, Priority Mail, that is. Now it's a race to see if the Post Office can get it here before I leave work on Thursday afternoon; otherwise I'll need to come back and pick it up on Tuesday, after Christmas.

It's supposed to look like this:

That's a great looking hat, Benz. What color are you getting?

 

[Historyteach24]

I am usually not a huge fan of thin ribbons but that hat looks amazing. I can not wait to see what Parker did with it!

 

[Benzadmiral]

That's a great looking hat, Benz. What color are you getting?

Camel -- a little darker than Open Road tan, I think. Black sweatband, no liner (as this is intended to be a warmer-weather hat in a light felt), with the 5 1/2" crown as above and the 2 5/8" brim, welt edge.

Originally, when I spotted the Miller Stockman Catalogs thread, I was thinking a Stetson "Kingstall," but then I thought the "Trail" would be a better model. After looking over the catalogs thread again (see post 26), I'm thinking I might name this the "Deming," after another model Stetson offered in the late '50s.

Can't wait to see that one.

....

Just a suggestion Paul = get the liner but ask for it not to be attached, just tucked in behind the sweat. I do this with my ArtLite VS Customs & I can wear in colder & warmer weather just by taking the liner out or putting it back....HTH

I'll ask Parker about one. The trouble down here in The Swamp is that it so rarely gets cold enough to need a lined hat. Today, for example, we're going to be about 30 degrees too warm for December, around 77 degrees.

Thanks to FL's encouraging my hobby, I've got a number of lined hats to use if the temp does plunge all the way down to what Loozyana dwellers consider cold, i.e., about 50 F. or less.

I'm waiting on a bone rabbit fur Open Road in a tall crown. I'm two weeks short of a six month wait but I'm sure it will be worth it. I'm looking at a silverbelly OR next.

 

[Historyteach24]

6 month wait? Did he have to send it away for some work? He quoted me 8 week wait on my custom. I could not live it was 6 months lol

 

[Blackjack]

Mine should arrive tomorrow, hopefully. Yeah, somewhere between 5 and 6 months it's been I believe...:eusa_doh:

 

[Historyteach24]

Did you get a finished edge? I hear he has to ship those away so it takes longer

Nope, raw edge. It's ok though I wasn't in any great hurry for it.

 

[Historyteach24]

Well that worries me greatly I want this while its still felt season

 

[Blackjack]

Well he did move his residence this fall, that may have set him back some. Talk to him!
