    Nice tall crown on that one!

    When I decide I "need" another hat, you will certainly be the first one to know. I don't want that block to dry out and crack from lack of use! If I could convince my Chief to let me wear a fedora with my uniform, I would definitely need another hat, in navy felt. :D:D

    And a merry Christmas to you and yours, Rick. Thanks for the early Christmas presents you made for me; I am enjoying them very much!

    Merry Christmas, friends. I hope you all have a wonderful day.

    Cowboy Boots

    Thanks very much! I'm familiar with the term and the item, just couldn't figure out the correlation between them and location (Seattle). Thanks again for helping me out!

    I have a DM Adventurer and the crown is only 4-3/8" tall to the top of the front crease (teardrop), which is all the height I could wring out of this particular hat without a lot of taper at the top. The felt is mid-weight, I would call it, and fairly stiff, but I actually prefer stiffer felt...

    Cowboy Boots

    Very nice boots there, Richard, glad they cleaned up to be better than you expected. I am curious about the Toppies comment, if you will pardon my ignorance... How does Seattle necessitate Toppies? I'm guessing the prevalent wet weather and the boots originally had leather soles that were slick...

    Isn't it funny how quickly "have" becomes "had" when money and womenfolk collide? :D Good luck to you, sir!

    Those are beautiful, and definitely not something we have in our part of the country. One of the things I love about this forum is how the threads can stray off topic and still be so interesting. :) Thanks for posting these!

    The Conversion Corral

    I really like that ribbon; it looks like it has a blue undertone to it. Really nice job on the hat overall! I have come across a black Resistol 4x George Strait in 7-3/4 that I want to turn into a fedora for the rare funeral, etc. I would love to find a nice vintage midnight blue ribbon for it...

    Just when you thought you had seen it all . . . (Warning: Not for the fainthearted)

    Don't worry, those little guys commit plenty of wanton murders of their own - far more than necessary for their survival. Anyone who raises poultry or fowl can attest that they are bloodthirsty little critters that will wipe out an entire coop in a night.

    That is one sharp hat! I like the proportions and that color combination is eye-catching. Rick makes some fine hats, and you wear it well.

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    That's pretty funny, and it could be a way to raise money for even more hats! :D

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    I don't think it's as much a discerning eye, as a sense of economy or value, but your point is well stated and well taken. I would not presume to tell someone else how to spend their money as long as no harm is done to others, but I still don't understand some things like the "holey jeans". Like...

    That’s surprising. It seems to be a popular theme in this area. Who knows? :)

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    Hmmm, I wonder if the seller tried to type in "Superfine" and auto-correct "fixed" it to "Serpentine"? There's a couple of things in that ad that don't quite seem to line up (the box does not appear to be for the hat it contains, for example), so I wonder if this is another?

    Good news! A really nice hat will be on your doorstep before you know it.

    So trivial, yet it really ticks you off.

    That's the kind of deal I dream of stumbling into some day. I've thrown away a lot of honestly-worn-out clothes in my life (well, most of them were used for shop rags and such).
