Post New Hats Here!
I also think you are pretty close. I have an unreeded hat sold at Lundstrom in SF that has the same unusual ribbon twist opposite the bow, and frayed edges on the bow. I had placed it in the same time frame. It does not have the vertical stitching... -

Re-blocking to Long Oval.
I appreciate your concern buddy, but I don't feel comfortable discussing this any further here without knowing more about the decision making process. I feel I need to be fair if I want to be treated fairly. -
Re-blocking to Long Oval.
Well, the Vendor thing was a Bartender decision that I'm still sorting out. I haven't really gone pro. Like HumanShoes, at this point, I'm still just a guy with a day job trying to learn as much as he can, and making no claim to being a professional hatter. -

Scott, Thanks re the purchase. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity that I had to jump at. As Tonyb recently said in another thread, you just can't let yourself miss those opportunities. The Vendor thing was a Bartender decision that I'm still sorting out. I haven't really gone pro... -

Scott, I've seen this done thinner than 1/4, but must defer to more knowledgeable folks re the other part of your question... -

Oh, I understand. There is plenty of discussion here about unreeded hats (1940's is the cut-off generally, I understand), and folks with much more detailed knowledge than me, but I've seen the sweats sewn directly to the felt, or alternatively, sewn to a thin piece of leather that is sewn to... -

Re-blocking to Long Oval.
HS, I'm glad that you concur. I was beginning up think that this phenomenon might have something to do with the Oregon Vortex ;-) http://www.oregonvortex.com/ You are probably right about most people not having a problem with a 1/8" variance (except those fellows in the Indy forum), but in my... -

+1 Olė said this more clearly than I did, but we are saying the same thing. -
Re-blocking to Long Oval.
Yes, Terry it was your hat in the photos. I don't know where you can buy one like this nowadays. It actually looks easier to make than the other type, but it's the first I've seen like this. I bought it with several other rounding jacks when I bought all of the hat making tools from the... -

If you mean sewing the ends of the sweat together, I did a "how to" in the conversion corral a while back. If you mean attaching the reeding tape, I haven't done this... -
Re-blocking to Long Oval.
This is an interesting conversation. I think it depends on the tool you use. I recently used this rounding jack to cut a long oval brim with a uniform width on the sides, front & back. As you can see, the flatter profile and flexible wings allow a uniform width cut despite the flatter side... -

Good job on your first men's hat! You will probably want to take the ribbon & bow off before you trim the brim - that or finish that section with scissors or a craft knife... -
