Club Obi Wan

Thought I’d take everybody on another journey with me while Michelle works on my hat. I have to say, this “Seaplane Beaver” felt is a true chameleon. I can’t wait to see it in person!

(I decided to go with the regal purple liner, by the way)

that looks really nice! i love seeing making of pics of hats on the block-she's going to be a beaut!

I can’t wait to see how it turns out!

It’s brown…..

You’re right. It is brown.

It’s just also grey.

And tan.

slightly OT, but; wow, Michelle is using the same hand made rounding Jack I have. These are made by a Fedora Lounge member (and hatmaker).

Added a few more photos courtesy of Michelle that seem to capture the “true” grey color a little better.

Ribbonwork, shaping and liner are done. Now on to shipping!

Hat arrived today. Only snapped a couple of quick pics as the light was fading, and so am I. Haha.

But initial impression is that it’s a gorgeous lid and it’s going to get a lot of wear, especially when I’m not in gear.

Looks pretty awesome, the color of it amazes me from picture to picture.

I agree such a fascinating color! It’s a great looking hat! I’m pretty sure this is the first of its kind from HJ to be posted to the forum.

Sweet!! That looks like one nice lid. Congrats!

Thanks guys! I just uploaded a few more pics and a couple of videos of me moving around through various lighting scenarios at work. I really dig this hat, and can’t compliment Michelle’s craftsmanship and customer service enough. She’s the best of the best.

This is likely going to become a daily wear item for me. I'm about to throw it into the ring with the damp, frigid Vancouver winter for a few days. Trial by fire... or ice I guess.
