The dark olive is almost a black with some green undertones that only show in certain light....not unlike the Bottle Green you sent me. I have one of the dark olive antelope in stock but if I recall it is on the small side....that is the part that scares me when ordering from him......its the luck of the draw on the felts sizes when it comes to larger heads.

His capelines are probably the way to go; although they are only in the smooth finish and the color palette isn’t the same, larger, but not the same. Maybe one in moss?

I wanted the dark olive to be like the Winchester dark moss or at least close....but for all intents it is a black hat.

It’s too bad he doesn’t have photos of the actual felts in natural light.

Yes, his colour charts are mere suggestions......I am getting a handle on the real colours as I hold my breath and order......then see what I get.

Yes, it is weird as the men's dress weight 140gr felts are smaller 14cm Crowns and only 9cm Brims. But the 14x 14cm are only 120gr millinery weight.

Biscuit, dusty, Aegean, salt, choca (not to be confused with cocoa which he also has), etc...how are we to know what these look like without accurate photos?

I sent Mr. P a photo of Eric’s cadet blue hat and he sent me a BRIGHT electric blue that he said was the same shade! I’m not turned off of Agnoulita, you just have to be careful and spell everything out or risk disappointment.

Why did Agnoulita stop selling their hats on Amazon? I was about to purchase a homburg with my Amazon credit card points. Will they be back on Amazon?

I didn’t know they were available on Amazon. If you want answers you can ask Mr. P, but don’t hold your breath on getting a reply.

Yes he was selling his hats on Amazon for about 6 months but pulled them last week. Also I see that there is a Deadly Handsome model on Etsy. Very cool!

Well I went to write him on Amazon and sure enough they are back.

I was about to post the same answer.......as I still await word on an actual order I placed never mind just a question.

So how would those of you that have bought these hats rate a Biltmore Oxford homburg (chocolate/USA made) against an Agnoulita Homburg? I have to decide.

Both are middle of the road quality hats.....to me it is a toss up if the price points are close. With the Agnoulita you get a much wider choice of felt colours/ribbons.

I'm finally the lucky owner of two Agnoulitas thanks to Panos @PanosChris. I've liked the look of this hatmaker since I first saw Brent's @deadlyhandsome posts of his, then some others from my fellow Loungers. Anyway, I've been playing around with the bash on the grey. I think I've finally decided on the 30s/40s look.

Excellent new addition, Steve. Nice bit of contrast between ribbons and felt.

 

[Steve1857]

Thanks, Stefan. It's a classic contrast rather nicely done by Mr. P at Agnoulita Hats.

Is thus the plum color beaver? Or wine hare?
