We're all obsessed, and we're all enablers of ome another.Wow, how do you guys keep up with this forum? Just got back from a dinner party and the place has filled up with loads of good looking people in amazing hats in my absence. Can't comment on all of them individually because there are just too many. And then I haven't even seen the other threads yet. I guess that's why there's a like button...
So, just a few comments
@EstherWeis - that blue hat really suits you, definitely your colour, but I am in love with the huge red one. So amazing. I want one too now!
Thanks! It does, doesn't it? It also happens to ve the perfect hat to wear on a windy day: no brim and fits like a helmet, no sudden gust is going to blow that beauty off my head. Maybe the two are linked
That green hat you're wearing today really is something else, what a colour! I can't wear green, makes me look like I'm about to die, but you pull it off with so much flair. I really like the texture and the double stitching detail around the brim too.
You and your wife were impeccably turned out last night. Fantastic hat and great style for both of you. I can't even remember the last time I saw someone in black tie in this town, who wasn't performing in a choir or something of that nature at least.
Love the hat, looks good on you. Who made it?!
Yes, this is what I'm talkin about! What vintage is this beauty? Old or new...
Hey folks!
Digging the show of lids on a fine sunny Sunday.
Tosay I'm wearing my own handiwork, moe-riginal No.7 in Granite Winchester rabbit. I haven't worn it much, since shortly after I made it I got the brim wet and some dye bled from the felt through the binding in spots. I've been meaning to redo it, but after the huge pain in the butt it is to do ( especially when one can't see well ) it has just sat. Other than the spots, I think it's one of my better bindings. Perhaps it can just be "character".

Loving that teal Bird, mmb!
Everyone have a great rest of the day!

I'm not even on facebook and I can't keep up. There's no hope for me.We're all obsessed, and we're all enablers of ome another.
I spend more time on here than on Facebook.
And you call that amateurish?! I am so impressed, great work! That's some skill you've got there!

Beautiful hat! Striking pictureGot a sneak peek. I should get the others tomorrow.
Thanks mmb!Man... That is cool that you tried your hand at making your own. Some day I'd like to try that.
It looks great. Glad that its run in with the weather didn't consign it to the shelf for eternity.
Enjoy
Thanks Michael!It looks great from here Moe. The binding and ribbon look very good.

Thanks Red!Very impressive!! I like it. You and you alone can only see the flaws in such a creation. Just like a rock chip on my Mercedes, it is all I see when looking at it.
Thanks Celia!And you call that amateurish?! I am so impressed, great work! That's some skill you've got there!
Doin a helluva lot more then me and most of us.Thanks Celia!
Compared to the fine professional hatters and milliners here, my work (at least to my eyes) seems a bit clunky. But wearable!
Looks like a great hat to me. Height looks good as well. As a guide, the distance from your eyes to chin is a good height for the crown of your hat.The last of my NorthWest Purchases. I was originally expecting this hat to be a shade of charcoal darker than what I received. Almost heather black to be exact. Then my idea was to put a black bow on top of it so it popped just a little bit from the hat color. Unfortunately that is not what I received. I also think the crown is too high which gives off a cartoonish look a la Porky Pig in a Gangster Suit. Anyway I kept it because I hate going to the Post Office.

Thanks Red!Sweet Stetson, looks like its in good shape, nice!
Really great hat and outfit Serge. Esther really did a nice job on that hat. Not that I've ever seen her do otherwise. And the piped jacket is too cool.
