What Hat Are You Working On Today?
And now the Sweatband is sewn back in, the ribbon tacked in, and liner is back inside where it belongs. Its a complete wearable hat again! One just needs to remember where it started, and the remaining warts dont seem so bad (either that or dont scrutinize underneath it too closely lol)... -

A new life begins.... the battered Gay Prince gets its first public trip (post rehab) today! Moral of the story is never give up ... everything still has potential.. Always show your $15 hats some love- they usually return the favor nicely. I didn't really point it out yesterday, but if you... -

its just a Singer 4452 I originally bought it to sew light suedes and leather. Figured it work for felt too. My big leather machine(Cobra Class 4) just cant do the smaller needles and thread so I picked up this Singer -
What hat are you waiting for today?
couldnt resist another Champ Featherweight... looks almost identical to my other one, but my old one has an olive ribbon and binding, and the one on its way had dark brown.. just different enough to tempt me. Had it in my watch list and the seller offered 20% off plus an additional 10% off with... -

The formerly Gay Prince is ALIVE again! Got my first sewing machine Edge binding done today ! I wasn't brave enough to actually plug the electrical cord in, so I just rotated the crank by hand. Figured it would be a lot more consistent than doing by hand ( and it was!) It covered up all... -

What Hat Are You Working On Today?
The former Gay Prince lives to ride again! Breathing a big sigh of relief... a couple hours of work and things are looking a lot brighter. Ive lowered the crown of yesterdays ebay disaster about 3/4" and most of that has moved out on the brim. Now sitting just a hair over 2-1/8" brim and thats... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Update to the ebay heartache... I found about an inch and a half long tear where the crown meets the brim that had been stitched back together, as well as several holes under the hatband. This poor hat has been around the block! Made a command decision to strip the hat down and save all the... -

As recommended by BellfastBoy, I upped the pouncing paper to 1000 grit. Ive been using a semi flexible sanding backer ( 3x9") and sanding by hand instead of using the vibratory sander. Have a couple passes now and its really starting to smooth the surface out and look a lot more evened up ... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Its got a couple little spots that could have been cut more neatly, but theyre fixable. Ime seriously thinking of digging through a pile of brim trimmings and see if I can graft on some more brim. If covering with a bound edge, Im thinking I can tack enough on to get to about 2-1/4 . A careful... -

Already salvaged the feathered hatband for my brothers Moose River I gave him for his birthday ( He also got a Stetson Weekender and he loved the feathered hatband on it). I put the original simple leather Moose River strap on this one. Already found a good home for it! -

Are you ready to laugh and cry? DANG! Someone should have their scissors taken away! Nice little mint green Stetson Gay prince that someone cut down to a 1-3/4" brim. Too bad as its a nice little hat. Guess they wanted a Trilby really really badly lol. The seller DID say it had been cut... -

New project is looking better now that most of the fuzz is gone. Still got some more sanding and ironing to do... everytime I look at how nice and smooth the Akubra Heritage felt is beside it I want to go grab more 600 grit paper lol. (maybe I should go 100 or 1200 grit?) I DID go ahead and... -
