IC, nice going. I never would have cut the brim let alone attempted to sew a ribbon on it. You did a darn good job, and I have no doubt you'll get better at it as you gain experience.
Now, about those two Fed Dlx IV's I have? :D
Congrats, IC.
Another outstanding example of why you are the Chief of the Crease Police. Masterful, Mr. Jim. That Borso is another beauty for your stable. Congratulations!
I'm amazed at how you bay fishermen are able to hook these trophies. I must not be finding the good fishing holes. ;)
I like that ribbon better, Gene. I tend to like a ribbon with some color in it, but that other one was pretty far out there. May we see a closer look of your shaping?
I have five Akubras now and three more coming plus one that I sold. All were ordered from Hatsdirect or EA. I have had good service and good communications from both places.
That looks good, Phil. I may have to get another one and have the brim bound like you and Rusty did.
Pinching the brim is so easy, I pinched mine a little tighter too. Just wet it, pinch it and let it dry.
Man, that sure is a fine looking beater, RFish. I've never seen a Whippet in that camel color. Looks good. A whippet is on my hit list on the bay, but no luck yet and they go for a ton o' money even if they're only close to what I'm looking for.
I've never had my hands on a milan, but I do have a couple of Montecristos and a Cuenca, and I have a couple of Akubra polypropylene straws coming. Can one of you afficionados explain the difference to me, or should I just go ahead and buy one so I can feel the difference? :D
Thanks, Mr. P. I think I'll go look for a couple of shirts and ties that I can put with a navy suit to wear under this hat and pick up the brim color.
We're hoping to see you and Mrs. P on the boat in September.
Nice work, Major IC. If I had attempted that I would have had a zig zag brim. I'll be watching for the binding work. You could end up with a second career.
Congrats, Travis. You look good in that one. I really like that leather band.
I was able to touch Boxerken's Penman at the Highpoint dinner when we met in Monteagle, and I was impressed with Mr. Penman's work. I'm thinking that I need to have one of his hats to adopt into my hat family...
Fats, I haven't had any multiple hat shipments from either Hatsdirect or EA. I ordered all of my felts one at a time. I did order two straws from EA at the same time, but I haven't received either yet and they will be shipped separately because one was in stock and one had to be ordered for me...
