The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Nik, No problem. Looks like I can send you the glue but no unwrapped playing cards! Now that is strange. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I did another search. This is what I used. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Liquid-Stitch-Original-Formula/19757810 -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
I have used this stuff to apply a tip sticker before. Worked great. It dries clear and semi-flexible, didn't soak through the felt and is supposed to be machine washable so it should be durable. Not sure if you can get it where you are though. Somebody may sell it on EBay. I bought mine at... -

Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
I was watching that Resistol too. I put a bid in but it was left in the dust pretty quick. The double brim binding looked interesting but there really wasn't a good picture of it. I hope if the winner is a Lounger they post some better pictures of it. -

Nik, What exactly is a basted stitch? I can't really tell in the pictures. Beautiful hats. -
The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Nik, The hatter that repaired mine did it by hand so he could hit the old stitch holes exactly. That's why I said it had to be tedious work. The man that did it though comes from a family of tailors and now works at a hat shop. He is a real artist with a needle and thread. After posting... -

The BORSALINO BROTHERHOOD
Nik, I had an older Open Road that some stitches were popped. A local hatter repaired it by sewing the sweat back in using the exact same holes from the previous stitching. I couldn't believe how good it looks. The only way to tell is look at it very close and you can see a slight difference... -
STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY
I agree. However, I have a western Stetson made in Canada that has a wind trolley. It is not a CB or anything special. Just a standard western Stetson but has a trolley. It is the only one I have ever seen with a trolley so I bought it. Unfortunately it doesn't fit me very well. It is a weird... -

STETSON 7x CLEAR BEAVER QUALITY
Looks to me like it might be a raw edge. I downloaded and enlarged the image a can't see any sign of a binding. Seems like that would be pretty unusual for one of these. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
You're welcome. I like the width of the ribbon on yours. How wide is it? I asked Art to keep mine an inch or under. In the pictures yours looks to me like 3/4" to 1" maybe. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
Che, that is a really beautiful hat! I know you like wearing your brim up but that one really looks great on you with the brim down. Nice looking plate of fajitas too! We grilled a bunch of fajitas Saturday and made menudo for Sunday tambien. -
Art Fawcett VS Hall of Fame
GT, that is a great looking hat. I have almost the same hat on order from Art. Lightweight Granite, vent holes, about the same width ribbon and a removable liner. Only difference in mine is I asked for a 2 3/4" bound brim. I'm normally a thin ribbon guy so this will be my first venture into the... -

Post New Hats Here!
I've been told that since I was a kid. My grandfather who was a WWI vet and always wore a hat saw me lay a hat on the bed once and I think that was the only time I ever saw him upset. I've never laid a hat on a bed since then. -

Cordova Handmade Caps / Johnny J's work
Great looking cap Mike! Nice work Johnny. -
Stetson Beaver 100
Thanks. That sounds about like mine. The crown is stiff but not rock hard like a modern western. -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Thanks. I'll have to get one out and try it again. I was worried about the hat being stored with the brim curled up.
