Very nice, Richard. Would you mind telling us the crown height and brim width, please?

Very nice, Richard. Would you mind telling us the crown height and brim width, please?

Brim is 2 1/2" on the bone (2 3/4" on the moss). Crown height is a little over 5 1/2" open, 4 3/4" to the top of the pinch and a little over 5" on the side (moss is pretty similar).

 

[Daniele Tanto]

Both hats are interesting. Nice the combination color of felt and ribbon in every hat.
I wish to see the bone with the brim up.

Beautiful hats, Richard. Tim is a great guy and makes a great hat.

The other new arrival from Tim - bone with a wine/burgundy ribbon. Tim envisaged it brim up, and it looked great that way, but on my receding hairline I decided to drop the brim:

The ribbon close-up is the closest photo to the actual ribbon colour. Unfortunately the compact I was using struggles with faithful red reproduction:









Particular thanks to Tim for his generosity and patience with this one.

Greg - cricket rather than rowing (well an interpretation of at least) - It's a Nigel Cabourn 'Compton' after Denis Compton. Corniche still have a ouple left in their sale: http://www.corniche.org.uk/nigel-cabourn/

Is Tim still in business? I have 2 of his hats that I love and want (need?) a third. Haven't been able to get any response to PMs, emails or texts.

 

[Historyteach24]

I texted him yesterday with no reply. Which is odd since we correspond often not even about hats, I am becoming worried.

 

[McGeezer]

just got a text from Tim, all is well

 

[Historyteach24]

I was about to post the same thing, he was just taking a technology break.

 

[Preacher Man]

I'm glad to hear that!! Don't worry us like that Tim!
