First, love this Gannon, Moon. It's a style I've long been looking for in vintage that has eluded me.
Second, this reminds me of something I do with my hats. If I'm at an event or something that involves tickets and such I often tuck them in the ribbon of my hat like Moon has his matches.
p.s...
If you can go down to a 6 7/8 even better. I envy you your vintage sized head! Even in my giant noggin size I've landed vintage that are, for all intents and purposes, a new hat. Good hunting!
I would echo a lot of Moon's comments here. cmoy, I believe you mentioned you're a size 7? If I were a size 7 I wouldn't spend a dime on modern hats. The world is your oyster. There is a bigger variety of quality vintage hats that await you than someone like me; a size 7 1/2 and at reasonable...
Thanks for the kind words, 40. Right back atcha! I would love to find any vita-felt in my size
It may not be in perfect condition but it's such a stunning hat, such an awesome piece of history it just doesn't matter
I would love to someday, find a Game Bird just like this. Fantastic, MM!

40, in truth I like any hat with a clearly hand done bash. I strive for a slightly imperfect symmetry as do many here like yourself, Moon and SBG. It's very gratifying to me that you like it and are inspired to give it a try. For me only certain wide ribbons look good with the centerdent with...
Dream hat right there! Between the Vogue, the Avenue and the Scoop....just Wow! Not to mention the crazy number of Strats you have....ah I could go on and on
Red, I feel the same way. I didn't want everything to be a diamond crease (even though it is my favorite).
It's worth noting none of the hats I've shown here are with their original crease as they came to me. I steam and iron most of them to an open crown and start fresh;
Of course...
Very much enjoying everyone's contributions to this thread!
Loving the variety of your creases, Eric! The back three quarter views are delightful!
Some more bash variety;
Love this bash, Anthony! Couldn't have done it better myself
I'm going with Whippet Wednesday
p.s. I'm a little disappointed I didn't get a sticker for voting!
