    I've not purchased a new one, but you did say a "good" one, so... If I were to buy a good new top hat, I'd contact Hatter4 and have him make me one the old way. I am confident Oliver will take good care of you, and it should fit like a glove...

    Joao, I like it, and I particularly like the width you chose, but would also like a silver grey ribbon better ;-) If this was your first attempt at putting on a ribbon & bow, I think you've got the knack. I think the hat would benefit greatly from a naptha bath. You must have Coleman stove...

    The Conversion Corral

    I'll measure it when I get a chance, but it's not that high, comparatively. It's got a 1950's sort of sensibility. No, I wouldn't trade for that particular hat, but PM if you have others. This is a very nice felt, and it's a neat hat, just a little wide for me under most circumstances, and I...

    Loving this creativity. Welcome Bear! What are you asking for your rounding jacks? Great work Dogman! It's nice to see options out there. There are so few tool makers. Update on my brass tolliker - turns out it did not have enough clearance to be useful as built. I'm going to have to...

    I got mine today - it works well on paper, and has letters about 1/2 inch high. Pretty cool, and my law partner already asked me to punch his hat. I thought it wouldn't need to be mounted in light of the foot, but it does. It is quite heavy, but still wobbles if not bolted down.

    Thanks Oliver! Did you mount it to your bench?

    Cool hat tools, including a heart tolliker in a format I'd not seen before. Grabbed from a web page:

    Great hat! Lundstrom was a SF store for many years, with several locations.

    It's got a very unique crease, and it was done in multiple steps. I'm not sure I can reproduce it, and wish I could talk with the person who made it. It's impressive. I'll post a photo a little later...

    Thanks, I will. Tom Gonzalez messaged me about it too, which was pretty cool. The initial machine has been in town for 3 days, but hasn't been delivered. I called & am going to the PO Tuesday to sort it out.

    I could make it fit. I have a 7 3/8 block, and the brim would still be wide. It's 3 15/16 now...

    7 3/8 Which, when referenced back to the Resistol ruler should theoretically give us hat/head size: But I'm skeptical...

    Thanks Olė! If anyone buys it I'll make more. If not, I guess I'll just use it and add it to my collection...

    Joao, what size are you? I've got a black 7x Dunlap (that's right - quite rare as far as I can tell) cowboy hat in size 7 1/8 with a wide brim that I would part with. I think the brim is 4 or more inches. I posted it in Westerns Anyone? some time back.

    Terry, I've been buried at work, but have been looking at the photos you've sent me and posted. You are doing great work, and it's exciting to watch your growth. I really like your creases, and your ribbon work is far better than the first attempt on the ROTLA fedora. BRAVO!

    Wow! A lot of info there. Gotta get me a Gottfried. Can't believe he's actually doing it all from start to finish. What sort of price for the hat you bought?
