This week work has been a complete PITA, so tonight my silverbelly Campdraft and I sat on the deck for a while and smoked a cigar compliments of Mr. and Mrs. Indycop. Thanks, folks. It was a good one.
I don't know, MS. I didn't think to ask them to do that, and I suspect they won't. If they do, it'll be a pleasant surprise. That said, I sent them a Stetson 20 not long ago to refurb and resize and received back one of the best fitting hats I have. I wish the hat had fit as I received it, but...
I did not post pictures beforehand, but I did insist that Optimo use the original liner and any other original parts possible. Optimo measured the hat at 7 1/8 plus 1/16 even though it was labeled as a 7 1/4. By resizing the hat to a 7 1/4 LO they will replace the sweat, but I also insisted on...
Congratulations, Douglas. That one's a beauty. The one I picked up is as nice but it's color is a bit darker, I think. More beige than silverbelly. Would you agree that the hat is probably "40's?
Scott, thank you. The felt is the thinnest, softest,most moldable I have ever handled. Graham said...
I'm curious if anyone here snagged this one. It looks like a very nice Borso. I bid on it but gave up early because I grabbed a similar one a couple of weeks ago. Mine's at Optimo now getting a cleaning and resize.
Man, I have a pretty good selection of Campdrafts already. the newest mid-brown is still in the box without a crease yet, but I most likely could make room for another one. ;) Moonstone or navy blue would be good choices, I think.
Today was my Fed Dlx IV moonstone with brim binding by Indycop. Not too many days left around these parts for felt, so I thought I'd better seize the day while I still had the chance.
