    Roll out your Rollups.

    If what I'm going to say is even possible, I think the pocket one is nicer (the felt looks to be in nicer shape... smoother finished) than the "rollable" Nice find, Alan. And yes, I am SO jealous lol lol

    The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD

    Would you be surprised if I say that I love your Borsalino, Alan? That liner, Dio santo! Are you planning on rolling it on occasion? Edit: is it Argento?

    Trying to tweak my modern Stetsons to keep from selling them

    Reblocking the hat with a straight crown block would get rid of the taper. Putting a diamond crease also helps.

    Very nice Stratoliner, Zetwal. Are Strat crowns lower than Alessandrias? Part of me being "scared" of thin ribbons is how massive their crowns usually look. Yours looks well balanced.

    A tiny bit of unraveling only on the smaller holes. The above picture is right after I did it. Once I trimmed it, the straw looks fine. (will post new picture soon) The "straw" samples posted a few pages back, might not be actual toquilla or perhaps were treated with something that helps prevent...

    I agree with Robert but can see your point too, James. I also like that you both acknowledge it. Let's try and not digress too much from subject, guys. Be good [bad] lol
