HNC Hatworks (formerly known as Agnoulita Hats)

[StuK323]

A few months back I made a hat for a fellow with a size 63 long oval head. He was about to retire and his whole life he had wanted a fedora like the one his father wore. But he could never find one to fit him. On the day he came by to pick up the hat.....upon placing the hat on his head, looking in the mirror, tears rolled down his cheeks. Finally, he had the hat he had long wanted and it actually fit him. Sometimes, custom is the only way to go.

You have done the lords work that day

Hi everyone, I have already posted this in the new hat section so if you wish to delete this, totally understand.

Presenting a custom moss Green fedora from Agnoulita Hats.

The model is known as the coach, although it's not offered at this time (similar hats are available)

The specs are:
- Rabbit fur-felt hat body
- 5 1/4" center dent crown
- 3 5/8" raw-edged stiff flat brim
- 1 1/4" grosgrain ribbon hatband
- Rayon satin lining
- Genuine leather sweatband

My hat has a colour pallet based on a Herbert John Poet, worn by a certain scarf-wearing time traveller (for those not familiar with Doctor Who, Tom Baker had 3 different coloured hats, the second one he wore was Bottle Green/Moss green depending who you ask and which light it's under)

I wasn't going for an exact match, as the original hat has a more "Fluffy" look to it which may draw some unfavourable looks from the people at the footy or in my local supermarket.

Now, I took a bit of a gamble on HNC as I was not familiar with their work before I stumbled across their store on Etsy, I have to say I feel it has more than paid off.

Customer service was excellent, Mr P took me through all the options, even trying to help me work out the best shade of green for the hat I was trying to replicate. Excellent communication and I would certainly recommend them at the price of the hats available, especially as everything is tailored to the wearer's needs as much as possible. The hat came well packaged and with a lovely bag to store it in (sadly the bag had to be used for other things as we lost my pet rabbit a few days later.)

Excellent hat. I've got my eye on something from these guys in future.

Sorry to hear about your rabbit; the one and only real downside I've had with pets over the years has been their lifespans being inevitably shorter than mine. Always hard when they go - in our case, in the last three years we've lost a beloved cat, whom I had from kittenhood, when she was fourteen, and an adored rescue dog whom we had for four, wonderful years. The tears are les frequent than the joy their memory brings now, but its always tough to lose them.

I have purchased several hats from Mr. P over the past 3-4 yrs and they all still look and feel as nice as when I received them. I get more compliments about them than my other hats. One thing to keep in mind is his communication through his website can be lacking but he tends to be more responsive through his Etsy store, in my experience. I find his hats to be comfortable, easy to shape, and have a nice feel in hand.

Useful tip about Etsy and communications, thank-you for posting that.
