Ted that is a sharp lid, can't wait to see some day light pics, congrats!

I know that Mike made some Indy style hats in the Dark Brown Beaver felt. For those of you who had those hats made would this be a fair representation of that dark brown....this is a hat that Mike made up a few years ago in dark brown Beaver felt...

It's hard to get an accurate picture of the hat colors because of the differences in light settings

Very much the kind of lid Bogart or Fred MacMurray would have worn in Big Sleep or Double Indemnity. What's the brim width and the crown height?

I believe that hat actually belongs to Indyhan. It's definitely a nice looking lid.

Just got the email from Mike today saying he is starting on my latest hat!!
This one is going to have some elements that really depart from my norm so I'm looking forward to seeing how it turns out.

Spoke to Mike today about the hard to find Whipstitch brim treatments found in the Biltmore "Rosselini" and Borsalino "Como." He sent me a nice example of his work. I'm going to have him add this to a few of my raw brims!

Gonna send one of my raw brims to Mike and have him do a whipstitch.

I can understand why! I'll have that done on my next one.
My new NW is wrapping up and should be on the way to me next week, can't wait to see it!

Mike has become so busy he has had to clone himself to get all the orders filled. Don't believe, check this out!! Scroll around the room and you'll see his clones in different aspects of making hats.

So which model hat, are the Mikes wearing in this panorama ? It's got that quintessential, make "everybody look good" look....}8^))

It's also got that "Laura" movie hat look....one of my "Holy Grails" I want it in brown and grey!

The hat with the Australian brim at the end of the counter on the flange rack is my new hat!
Mike told me about the Google pictures in a email a couple of days ago.

I've got one coming sometime in March when I'm back in the states. It will be my second Northwest.

5 1/2 for the crown, 2 1/2 for the brim

That whip stitched brim treatment would be an interesting take on a Strat clone...

Sure. Why not...?

The decorating is finally finished and I get to my camera.

Here is my latest from Mike. It is in the new Winchester 100% beaver black cherry felt that is much darker than the one it replaced. I like both, but I feel this new colour is more versatile.

It is extremely hard to photograph accurately, the colour in real life has far greater depth.
