Not even my style and I like that one.
Nice shape to it, Mikael and I really like the colour combination. I wouldn't call that a shark gill bow though; I think that is more a boxpleat bow.Here is something unique. It started as a custom order for a GORM FEDORA. The customer ended up going for a shark gill ribbon at the back. The felt is a 50X Beaver Blend in Camel color. 2.5 inch brim, 5 inch crown. The ribbon is 70mm wide.

You're pricing yourself completely out of my range.Bogart Fedora for a regular customer in New York! Made out of the last 30X Beaver Blend felts in Emerald Gray. I am not planning on replenishing this felt type as I will focus on keeping 50X Blend (50%) and 100X Beaver.
I am sorry to hear that. I am happy to have crafted a hat for you and I do wish to keep you on as a regular customer. But times are different for everyone.You're pricing yourself completely out of my range.
Great work. Can I ask about the brim work, do you have a "homburg" curling shackle, maybe a special flange, or are you using another method to put the curl in? Just curious, love the work.IVAR HOMBURG, made with a 30X Beaver Blend. A very soft and malleable crown.

Thank you very much! Yes I use curling shackles among other unconventional methods.Great work. Can I ask about the brim work, do you have a "homburg" curling shackle, maybe a special flange, or are you using another method to put the curl in? Just curious, love the work.
For sure.... but what you get is amazing.
Thank you very much!For sure.
Thank you Mikael.
Loving your 70mm ribbon btw. Hmmm.
Please understand that I do not wish to offend and that I also can find some prices difficult to justify, that being said... These hats are exceptional and this is a rare level of both art and craftmanship. I would rather see them priced at luxury values than to see them and the maker lost to history. As to a decision to elevate/restrict the material quality to the highest levels, well good on you. I recognize the material quality as an essential foundation for all my purchase considerations, and yes I hope one day to procure a hat or two from this source, and yes I will need to take measures to allocate funds. I think they are worth it and applaud the intent to adhere to higher quality standards.
Keep up the GOOD work!
