Just created a page for House of Nines on Yelp. Do you have a House of Nines hat? Care to leave a review?

More Blocks on the Way

Another shipment of hat blocks is arriving from Guy Morse Brown Hat Blocks today! It contains multiple sizes of my new trilby and bowler blocks. I can't wait till it gets here! After it arrives, I'm just waiting to receive one more set of crowns, and the set for fall hat styles will be complete.

Hof9s in today's Bold Italic

House of Nines is featured in an article in The Bold Italic that just came out today! I taught writer extraordinaire Josh Rotter how to make his fantasy hat. Lots of photos!

Sale Hats Still On Sale

I've temporarily left all of my trunk show stock that didn't sell at ADS Hats, at the deep discount prices from the sale. The shop had a bit of room for it until their new fall stock arrives, but once it does, I'll be pulling the sale hats again, so get em while you can. The shop posted a slideshow of my stuff on their website.

Men's Hats Even Better

Ok, so I'm a perfectionist when I'm working on a sewing or hat project, I get really into the details and have a hard time not doing everything I can to make it the best it can be. The best materials I can find, the most labor-intensive fine stitching, all that.

The launch of my men's line is being pushed back a few weeks, to mid-autumn, because I've decided to tackle traditional leather sweatbanding inside. I had been planning to use the same kind of ribbon bands as are normal for ladies hats, but recently came to the conclusion that leather sweatbands are actually required for men's. This throws everything up in the air, from sizing to labels, so I have to work out all those details, find suppliers, etc.

The end result is going to be really nice, though.
