    Western, anyone?

    Bob's hat is too cool for words! I have nothing to compare.....my hat is from 50 years later.......I just re-worked my Stetson circa 1980 4X to a sort of modified horseshoe (or horse foot when you look at the middle of it). 4 3/4" front, 4 1/4" in back. Flat brim.

    Wearing this today........ Then I re-worked this as I was not really happy with just the pork-pie crown.....this had a LOT of crown to work with so I went to town so to speak. 4 3/4" in front, 4 1/4" in back.......I THINK I am happy with this now....sort of a modified horse shoe.;)

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Here is the Grey Federation IV. It is quite the changeling.....has some blue tones here...some light looks very dark grey or even a medium grey. Very different from my first model grey Federation which is so dark most of the time it looks black. Wearing to the shop today today i realized it...
