Black Sheep Hat Works

[TomS]

Here is my recently aquired Black Sheep. The color is hard to capture. It kind of looks like a glass of bugandy held up to the sun. There are maroons, reds, and even a hint of purple.

Does Bob usually take longer than 9 days to respond? I'm wondering whether he never received my last email or if I'm being impatient?

Hey Equality, I don't have anything in my inbox that has not been answered. Try sending it again, I must not have got it.

Thanks for the nice comments everybody.

Nice looking project David, Bob's Eggplant is a fantastic color and the pleated ribbon looks boss.

Congrats on the nice Oxblood(?) Tom, another great color.

Mikespens: what is the brim size and crown height on your milan?

Brim is 2.5" and crown is 4" in front and 3 5/8" in back. Bob put a nice 4" bump in the center too.

DJH, when that hat is finished I'm going to have to punch myself in the face, it's going to look so ridiculously awesome!!!

Looking forward to the pics!

Hi Tom~
The hat has a 4 7/8" to 3 1/2" crown as bashed (very steep rake imho). The 3" brim has a triple stitched edge. The 1" ribbon is black, although Bob sugeested a blue ribbon, which would look good as well.
Hope this helps...
Best,
Tom

Thanks for the details Tom.
That is a high front peak & rake. Like the sound of the edge treatment too.
Sweet lid there...

Thanks much, Tom. Glad you like it!

Ready to ship.
I'll post more photos once I have the hat and it is shaped.

Doesn't it look just like an eggplant? Love the color.

 

[DJH]

Thanks guys - yes, Bob does indeed call this colour Eggplant!

 

[mikespens]

David I saw your unfinished lid at Bob's and the felt is gorgeous. That's one stacked crown too! Can't wait to see what you do with it.

That eggplant is great...I've been sitting on my hands thinking of a new brown hat, but on the other hand....

DJH: love the color and ribbon treatment. Looking forward to seeing the bash.
