What's the most you've stretched a hat without re-blocking? For instance, have you stretched it to the point where you've popped the back stitch? When you pop or even intentionally cut the stitches, does this affect the rest of the secondary stitches around the sweatband and/or the ribbon?
This is a superb Champ Deluxe hat that I recently received in a trade with a fellow member. Our trade worked out great. He preferred to trade the Champ vs. sell it outright, and his specs were interesting. He wanted the same hat, 5 1/2" OC, 2 1/2" brim, 1 1/5" ribbon, but in grey.

It was a matter of standing out in a crowd, rather than sticking out. Fedoras are genuine and authentic, the...
Super pics, Al. I don't think I've ever seen a pic of Robert outside of his home. Maybe I haven't been looking hard enough! :)
Looks like a fun time! :yo:
Great hats, GD. I like the flat brim on the Lee and the brown felt on the Executive. Very similar to my homburg; I bet the felt is just as delicious! :thumb:
What's that shirt you have on, David??
