Do we ever get to put Eric in the Time Out chair for bragging so much
Another excellent Gannon, Brent.
Nope. Ain't bragging if you can back it up.

Now that is a fancy Lord's, Michael. Purple Melusine no less. As the youngsters would say, that hat is “off the chain.”Kind of a maiden voyage for the Aubergine Rabbit Lord's Hat. One of my more unusual custom creations by Mike Miller of NW Hats. The Lord's hat is a homburg that is "dressed down" for casual wear by not having an edge binding. The long hair finish is really special, called melusine. Styled from a hat on Downton Abby.

Oooh! Aaaah! What are the dimensions on that? I dig the color.
Wow! That felt comes to life in the sunlight, Jared! The hand looks fantastic and the shape is the perfect complement to the velour.

Thanks, yes it's original. I thought the same thing when I got it many years ago. A bit unique.Is that the original ribbon, Ken? Good looking hat!
He could show his beater hats once in a while so the rest of us would have a chance!!
Thanks! It was reblocked from 6 7/8 up to 7, and because I am more of a "measure once, cut twice" type I neglected to note the original dimensions. The crown is just over 5", the brim ended up about 2 3/8 in the front and 2 1/2 on the sides. I'm not sure if that dimensionality is original, or a result of the reblock.
thanks Brent! The flange was just plain old dumb luck. A while back I picked up a 6 7/8 #52 for those 'without-removing-the-sweatband' halfway reblocks. It came with this 7 1/8 #33 flange and I didn't have a use for it until now. I'm very pleased with the result.
Thanks KenIt's sure a beauty Steve.
