What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Jimmy thanks for the narrative. I have a new appreciation for Knox. It would be hard to top that one. That one is going into my top 20. AL: give us another week and then all the leaf peepers will start showing up. Alan: that cord goes great with the hat. Evenly tanned color. -

Jimmy, that Knox Premier, is it 2-toned welted? Very striking. It's great to see all these hats guys, not a loser in the lot. It was nice yesterday so I took to my bicycle in dairy country. Made this one myself. Silver Gray. -

Today I will be wearing this outfit. Picture taken two days ago. Ivory beaver fedora. Now that I have a handle on making hats, sort of, I am trying to make a vest similar to the one in the picture. Have any of you noticed that the squirrels have been busy lately? -

Rodkins, great fishing on the bay guy. I wish you would tell us what bait you are using to pull in such a beauty. David: Nice color! Justin: Nice find. Is that a cavanagh (spelling) edge I see on the brim or a welt? Here is a new one I made for myself: Charcoal color, low crown, 2 1/8 inch brim -

Thanks guys. Egghead: Good question. Yes, the pins left marks, but I have a brim cutter which is required to have the brim even all around. So, the pins were positioned on the extreme end because I knew I would be cutting that part off. The hat is 3 1/2 inches all around. -

How much crown is too much
doncarlos, I got a chuckle out of that one :D I once read that the crown height of your hat should be the same as the distance from your chin to your eyes. -
Reshaping a straw Open Road--can it be done?
I agree with Tony. You will need a block and flange. Even then, you might wind up with a hat that shows evidence of having had a different style. Sometimes an iron (not too hot) will take out some of the dimples created from the new style, sometimes not. I did it and got dimples. -
