mm, that C&K is glorious and the liner is fantastic!

6 inch crown , 3 inch brim. What more could I ask for from a hat?
68 Chevy C20 in the background. My father-in-law's. Still needs some electrical work and I'd love to do a disc break conversion on it but a pretty...
Moe, I don't think enough was said about this hat and especially the color here. Just fantastic. It's some un-definable shade of grey that is just sublime. The stuff dreams are made of.
Still need a couple more crowns and flanges to customize for certain situations. I've got 4 crown blocks and 6 or 7 flanges. I'll probably always be looking for at least one more of each
Don't worry you won't damage it. You may not get the shape you want but you won't hurt it. Get it as close as you can and maybe tweak it later or just wear it and let it take on it's own character over time

Nice hats, Everyone! Thanks for all the likes and kind words.

wow, Alan. 2 year ago and today, You're knocking me out!
I especially like the unique ribbon on the T n' J. Or is it not unique? I haven't seen enough of them to know
I've found the only way to completely eradicate an old set-in crease, to bring an old hat back to square one, once again an open crown to really start over is to use an iron and a hat block. You have to cover the area of felt you're working on with a light cloth so as not to crush the fur fibers...
Looking great today, Everyone!
A different lid for me today
Finally replacing my old Nolan with a new one. the old one was way past it's expiration date at 10+ years. Something about the Nolans fit my head right so it gets the most headtime of my motorcycle helmets (don't have as many helmets...
