What hat are you waiting for today?

[EstherWeis]

I'm not really waiting for a package, but I can't wait until it's Wednesday.
Because I will go to Antwerp, and pick up my very first EstherWeiss-Hat.
I'm totally hyped, because of the picture she sent me.
It surpassed my expectations!

You want a picture, don't you?

Because you insist...

And I think it also looks quite striking upside down

1970s Stetson Derringer Panama. These nickel and dime purchases are keeping me from getting a new custom hat. I have no discipline...

You can call me "Ramrod".

Ramrod Hufford. Has a nice ring to it.

Didn't you make Top Hand at work with your last annual review?

Only by default. I'm about the only one left...

I have been steadily "promoted" by misinformation out there on the Internet. I am in IT and support the Direct Marketing division. I was getting mail and phone calls as the Director of Marketing for a couple of years. Then they started coming in as Vice President of Marketing. A couple of recent emails have even addressed me as "Jesus", so I guess I can claim the Top Hand position.

So how do you want me to start addressing them next?

I suggest "President Beeblebrox".

I've got a Roy Rogers variant on order from Davis & Sons Hatting Co in NM. Should be about 4 weeks or less.

This is hell grau mél with a smooth finish.
Very nice color with lots of dimention to it.
A mix of blue, light and dark grey.
So it is a grey with sort of a steel blue undertone.

Well next you'll have Lazarus's family contacting you! Haha! I get isp phone calls on my work system by mistake all the time. Some place a long time ago, my work number was on a header for another company. (I work at home in the insurance industry doing subrogation). When Daniel was a bit more mobile and not having the issues of getting around like he does now, he would at times answer my phone. If he knew it was a wrong number, he would give them a number for a local pizza shop to call.

One time at a family gathering we had at someone's home, the phone in the kitchen rang, Daniel told everyone "hush" and he answered the phone, "Troy Police Department, Sergeant Riley, how may I help you"...the caller hung up...then called back about 5 minutes later saying they must have miss dialed the phone. Everyone busted out laughing. His worst was one time he made the mistake in dialing a phone number and when the person answered he knew he had dialed a wrong number. Quickly he identified himself as Doctor Threadstone, and was looking for a relative to deliver the news that their blood test had come back and everything tested well, it would be a healthy baby...

AMEN to that statement. So far each hat we have had made by someone here, has been a super killer looking hat! The hat Esther made for my Husband is getting to be his favorite hat. He wears it all around the house and most of the time wears it going anyplace he goes now! It will be great for a Gannon Hat and then my own order for one for me from Esther, I have no custom hats just super nice clean vintage hats. And she can make me a 100 percent purple hat! Well, I may have the ribbons be a different color....haha! Then I will have a hat made by Alley Kat Hat! That will be it for a while. My budget will already moaning and groaning and my wallet in my purse, will be telling me it wants to commit mutiny!

 

[InsolentPuppy]

Will do.

I see that Esther already replied.
But i chose thia felt because of the nice blueish tones.
In thw sun/light its grey with a bit of blue in it.
Not at all overpowering, in the shadow it is more darker grey.
I wanted, as, my first custom hat, a nice versatile hat.
With thia felt you can:t go wrong, in terms of versatility.
Just make it your own!

Yesterday I bought a nice grey jacket, store owner told me it was from 1919-1938.
It makers for a wonderful combination.
When i have the time I will post soms pictures with jacket and Esthers hat.
Stay tuned.

That sounds great! Will be super to see you all dressed and with your new hat from Esther!
