    I did make them, but just to assist me to return some hats back to open crowns. The tall one was made to fit an old Cavanagh and some Strats. Works beautifully.

    I’m not in the block business, but I would make a simple block to your specs (nc)..if that could be helpful.

    The Untouchables - Hats You Won't Part With

    Sounds like this should be in the Cavanagh club thread! I’m envious of the color already, but would love to see the pics.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Thanks, this crease will change with the direction of the breeze. I have only found one mention and no photo of a Robin Hood in the Disney Diner. Although I do get a sense of a prodigious amount of other colorful characters around here.

    What is your favorite hat crease?

    Strong light from one direction, and a darkish background, yielded a decent photo of the light color Cavanagh posted above.

    It would be great to see it buffed up. I’m glad it’s not my size.

    Ask a question, get an answer

    Wide ribbons abound, 6ply thin, not so much. Both look beyond excellent.

    So I guess we could deduce from your blind test of the Lee, and the fact that Lee started making hats for Disney in ‘43, that is the reason for the Disney felt of the 40’s to be so sublime.

    That’s really nice, reminds me of my favorite Strat, from the same store.

    Thanks Red. Yes, I wondered about the ceiling price on the tag also, not stating OPA or OPS. Perhaps it was a tag for the gap from ‘47 to ‘51. Or, just carry over terminology.

    Thank you, that crease is what sits my head well, and it is directly copied from these pages to my lid. Inspiration from all.

    The Disney Diner

    According to the info gleaned from this thread I’m assuming this is pre’47. Disney ‘Robin Hood’ in grey green. The felt is amazingly soft and lightweight and won’t hold without some steam, yet there is firmness to the 2 1/2” brim. The crown is a heavy 5” open. IMHO the hand is superior to a...
