Black Sheep Hat Works

[Flw Sock]

That hat is probably one of the best looking hats I've ever seen in my life.

beautiful hat!

Picked up my new milan from Bob today. It's khaki with a two tone ribbon. The light brownish ribbon is a piece Bob found in his shop that he figures he must have bleached at some point. Great color that goes perfect with the hat. The ribbon tie is wine.

Nice laced bow

and perforated forehead on the sweatband

Most excellent, mikespens! That faded ribbon touch is the bee's knees.

Bob's creases always bowl me over. He has a touch with hats, that's for sure. I usually prefer to shape my own hats, but my Black Sheep lids have kept Bob's handiwork.

Congrats Mike, you've got a superb lid!

Mike, Very Slick Milan you have there....

Just about the sweetest milan I have ever seen! Fantastic hat and nice pics.

I received my Elip Creek a day or two ago. I'll try and share pics soon.

Jared, thanks for starting this thread and alerting me to such a fine hatter in my own backyard.

Randall, Che, and aught12 thanks for the nice comments, Bob gets all the credit. Look forward to seeing your Elip Creek aught12. And a few more pixs of hats from others that I've seen at Bob's shop

I'll try and post a noggin shot once my wife gets off work. Self portraits are beyond my limited abilities.

Nice hat!

Mikepens, I'm jealous--that's a terrific milan. The color combination works well and the ribbon is great.

Aught12--looking forward to seeing your Elip Creek.

I liked mikepens' new milan so much that I exchanged email with Bob and ordered one for myself with a wine colored ribbon.

 

[mikespens]

Thanks Al and CPT/VSG.

CPT/VSG I don't think you'll be disappointed with your Bob milan. I originally chose a wine/expresso ribbon combo before Bob showed me this one. He worked up both combos to show me and they both look great.

Noggin shots, going out for margaritas on Fri 13th. That's a holiday right?

 

[CPT/VSG]

Looks great, mikespens.

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?

Mike, what a beauty, sharp combination with your shirt!

 

[Alive'n'Amplified]

Great hats, everyone! Keep this thread going. Let's see some more BSH creations!! :thumb:

 

[CPT/VSG]

Equality, my experience is that Bob usually responds within 24 hours to email.

Mike, great milan - I love the colours and the style!

AnA - here's a little teaser for a project Bob is doing for me...

Eggplant felt and black ribbon.

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