*Cane's Creations #36, a custom by our own Cane Rod Maker. Whiskey felt, Dark Coffee ribbon.
*I know Tim now uses the name Alley Kat Hat Co., but this hat was made before that came to be.
Yeah, me too. I wanted a Whiskey hat that was similar to the Fed IV but with a slightly wider and more deeply-flanged brim, and that's exactly what Tim created for me even though I didn't describe it to him in that way. He's a very talented hat maker and a great guy, and I'm very pleased to see him getting the recognition he deserves here on The Lounge.They all look good but I particularly like #36.

When I got my (I think) 3rd hat, (first two were black, the 3rd was brown (mink)) it was so nice that I decided not to wear it and I never wore it for a looong time. Then I got another brown hat to take the hatband from it but later decided to keep it as it was. Now I have several brown hats...I remember once saying something to the effect of me having no use for brown hats.
I particularly like the F&G.I remember once saying something to the effect of me having no use for brown hats. Then I got three more brown hats.
The most recent is the excellent quality Fortune and Glory, in tobacco brown (full afternoon sun)
Here's the bigger version of my avatar picture, with the Boss Raw Edge reissue
This last one is the Hatco outlet special, crushable fur felt, cotton sweatband. I actually throw this on a surprising amount in relation to my more expensive lids, go figure.
