Phoenix Hat Company

[BobHufford]

I tried to play it cool, Mike, but I was like a five-year old on Christmas!

I can see the joy Brent!

Great hat ... kudos to Rick.

My Phoenix in Winchester’s willow Beaver arrived and I couldn’t be happier. Rick’s work keeps getting better and I don’t know how that’s even possible.

6” open crown, 2 7/8” wide brim. The crown ribbon and brim binding is grosgrain and the color of the binding is silverbelly.

These first look a bit furry but that’s due more to them being misted with distilled water in preparation of being creased:

I love the hat and Rick deserves all the praise I can lavish on him.

Very, very nice! Both Rick’s work on the hat and yours on the crease and brim. I like those colors, too! Glad this hat finally made its way home, and thanks for posting the finished product.

How would you describe the colour of the Willow? How "green" is it? I have a small swatch and to my eye looks decidedly in the green camp.....I am on the fence ab out it but it is the one colour I do not have.

It is without a doubt a shade of green. To my eye, Willow is to green what powder blue is to blue...does that make any sense? I like the color as it’s pale and subdued and not brash.

I’d be glad to photograph it under different light or with a different background if you’d like.

Thanks, it is okay as your description seems to match what I see in the swatch I have. I like the colour just need to come to terms with what exactly I would wear the hat with.

Just received these fabulous furry beasts from FEPSA today. These are from the Tyrol selection and are unpounced bodies in unspecified, 100% fur. I know these are meant to be pounced by the hatter, but I'm kind of digging them just like they are. Warm and fuzzy. Left to right are Beige, Sand, and Anthracite felt colors. I honestly have no idea what I'll do with these, but you know how it goes, I just had to see them in person.

I’ve got a thing for the furry ones. Hmmm.

I could take it for walks and NOT have to carry plastic baggies!

I specialize in unanswerable questions.....is the anthracite a dark grey or as it shows on my monitor with strong brown tones like the Winchester Granite?

With Rick's mad skill set he could offer matching bespoke Leiderhosen

Finally, an easily answered question. In person it actually looks exactly like this. Anthracite. More black with light colored flecks.

Nein zu den Lederhosen Bob, however, I can offer you a hand made waxed canvas work apron or a pair of hand stitched leather earth boots from my Cow & Canvas® Clothing Co. enterprise.

That is a killer apron that beats the crap out of the canvas duck one my wife made for me. How much for the model in the picture? It might be too classy for my very modest shop in the garage but at least I would look the part as I wander about.

Very nice, Brent. Looks like a lovely felt. Great job by Rick.

That particular apron is $135. A bit on the pricey side to be sure, but it should be the last one you'll ever have to buy. As with everything I choose to make, I strive for a quality that will withstand the test of time and get handed down to future generations. Plus, it must be "killer" cool or I won't bother doing it. The leather is oil tanned, the hardware is solid brass, and I make and use my own canvas wax that is all organic with no
petrochemicals. I also do custom orders for special tool pockets and such and you can request just about any color canvas you prefer. My personal shop apron is heavily customized with pockets for the tools of the hatter's trade.

Yep, that apron most certainly checks the "killer cool" box! And it definitely should last. It's obvious that you can do anything you set your hands to, and do it well. I'm trying to figure out when you find time to sleep...

Super nice, Brent. Do you have any shots of the liner and sweat?
