Guys, thank you SO MUCH for the compliments. I greatly appreciate it. Not quite a vocation, yet, but it's definitely therapeutic. I've enjoyed the local response from friends and co-workers, and it's a real pleasure to hand off the hats in person. I'm honored to display them on the 'Lounge...
Bumping this awesome thread. Hey newbies (and vets), it's time to start diggin' through the posts and find your favorite hats of other 'Loungers. It doesn't have to be a definitive Top Ten. It's a great way to dig through the archives. :)
Have fun with it!

That bottom ribbon harkens back to a Stagecoach.
Mike, the parabuntal is beautiful. I can't believe you found that body. The ribbon is very unique and perfect for the hat. The hat looks as if it will blow off your head, it's so light.
Terrific!! :thumb: :)

Started the day with this Stetson lightweight I bought from Robert (rlk ~ what's he up to?) a while back. Steam just wasn't cutting it anymore, so after I got back from vacation I decided to give it a proper cleaning as a result of dirt and oils. The felt came out beautiful and it stiffened up...
Here is another new silverbelly w/ gold dust ribbon I just made for a friend from work. Just need to touch up the brim edge. The deep crown came out fantastic! I'm handing this one off on Wednesday.
Just following up on this thread again. WOW.
fabio - Absolutely STUNNING photos. The scenery is amazing.
Jeff - Likewise, your photos should be in a magazine. Great shots of the wholesome midwest.
Crazy Dave - That hat is legendary! The brim is super impressive.

LOL. I get the same comment down here in ATL. I don't wear my Dobbs Twenty (black) that often.
Nice hats, guys! :thumb:
