I got a note from Rick that my new Granite beaver with "antique" Rose Wine ribbon is on the way. It may be here tomorrow, but I will not be able to post photos until the weekend. Here's the shot Rick sent - I'm excited!
I like it Scooterz! One cheap guy to another.
Yes sir, that looks suh-weet!I got a note from Rick that my new Granite beaver with "antique" Rose Wine ribbon is on the way. It may be here tomorrow, but I will not be able to post photos until the weekend. Here's the shot Rick sent - I'm excited!
Thanks Randy. Good thing it wasn't my size. I probably would have used the "dog ate your hat" excuse and kept it.
Thanks Brent. I liked yours so much I ordered one for myself. Just didn't get to keep it.
I've always thought Willow would be a great color for a light weight, linerless summer version of a Playboy clone.
Great ideal HJ!
Let's talk. I'll send a PM in a bit.
John Lofgren Monkey Boots Shinki Horsebuttt - $1,136 The classic monkey boot silhouette in an incredibly rich Shinki russet horse leather. 
Grant Stone Diesel Boot Dark Olive Chromexcel - $395 Goodyear welted, Horween Chromexcel, classic good looks. 
Schott 568 Vandals Jacket - $1,250 The classic Perfecto motorcycle jacket, in a very special limited-edition Schott double rider style.
One of each please.
I'm following up from a post a few days ago with pictures of my new Phoenix granite beaver hat. Rick builds a fine hat - I am so pleased with all three he has taken the time to make for me!
The hat arrived very well packaged, with a nice hat box inside a heavier corrugated cardboard box. The workmanship is fantastic - soft hand, even finish, and an excellent job on the ribbon, sweatband, and liner. The dimensions and profile are just what I had asked for. The felt is a western body due to the size, so it is a little stiff, but Rick knows I prefer a stiffer hat that will hold its shape.
The color of the felt is pure gray, no brown at all as I have seen in some Winchester granite felts. I would describe it as a medium charcoal in most light, although it can also look very light gray in certain light. The ribbon shows more purple in the photos than it appears in most light; it is a faded "rose wine" color most of the time.
I think a previous photo posted by @Just A Hat Rack shows the true color pretty well:
Thanks, Rick, for another great hat!
I hope you all enjoy a peaceful Sunday,
Regan
