Well, here it is. I did post in the What Hat are You Wearing Today section, but thought it appropriate to post here also. The Pecan color is very nice - seems to change with the light. A job well done by Robert G.

It's here! Robert made a hat that really captures the vintage hat I asked him to model the shape and style of.
Whiskey beaver felt I think it is a 2.5 inch brim. 6 ligne saddle color crown ribbon and binding. Teardrop crease. A really wonderful hat.

Beautiful hat! The color, the bound brim, the attitude... all spot-on in my opinion. Congrats!

Hey Guys,That's MY hat that Robert so custom made. Got it last night and the fit, color and workmanship are superb - as expected. I'll post some pics tomorrow when I get a chance, but just trying to figure out what I will order for hat number 2. In the meantime, color me impressed!

Bob; Grand hat congrats.

Ok Bob I have to say that if I imagined ordering you a hat this would be the make-up. Color and ribbon treatment works for you. Congrats. Wear it in good health sir.

A whiskey hat in a saloon - appropriate! Congrats on the dynamite hat sir.

From my last order:

You clean up well Brent. The hat dimensions are dynamite (IMO). Congrats on the new hat.

As requested by @deadlyhandsome -- posting the pics below. @belfastboy previewed this hat above and I then steamed and deepened the bash.

I'd asked Robert for an open crown Whippet with 2 1/2" brim and a narrower binding and he nailed it. The rabbit felt I chose is heavier and stiffer than I expected -- more like an Open Road -- but will make a great winter hat. The price was incredible for a custom hat -- my first -- and I would highly recommend. Thank you, Robert!

Perfect hat to celebrate Whippet Wednesdays all year around! The crease gives the hat a real classic profile. Cheers!

Thank you. Yes, I think so too - the right hat for the right person - not always easy to do. I have another in the works with Robert and I'm pretty confident that the magic will continue.
