    It stopped me buying any more of the modern ones. 70's and earlier were fine - don't let the current imported felts put you off buying the older ones where they produced their own felt.

    Thanks John. The bowlers are decent. The wool felts are as good as most and better than many. The fur-felts have a nice handle and finish, okay sweats and finishing, but are prone to shrinkage (and therefore taper) on their first encounter with rain (you won't get further shrinkage, but it's not...

    The Conversion Corral

    Without knowing the glue used it's difficult. Acetone - nail varnish remover might work, but apply sparingly as it will dry out the leather.

    The Conversion Corral

    I'm finally getting round to my Stagecoach conversion. No brim cutter, so I used a flange to chalk a cut line, then shears - thankfully it worked well and after a little pouncing is perfectly oval to the eye at least. Now to pounce the body - that's going to take some time with the felt thickness!

    Northwest Hats, Eugene, Ore.

    Thank you Daniele. Mike deserves the credit for the ribbon colour. I asked for something without too bold a contrast in the 'peanut butter range' with an olive insert, and he came up with the Kangaroo - slightly darker than I had envisaged but when he sent a photo I couldn't not go for it -...

    It could have been made by Christys for a Welsh shop (Aberystwyth doesn't have any hat shops these days (I used to live there)). It could have been made by Christys for any store in the UK though. The logo is a variant of the seal of the Order of the Garter...
