A Toast! You'll need a beverage...

[CRH]

To all the guys and gals on this forum who are willing to cut, sew, stretch, shrink, soak, scrape, or otherwise risk mutilation of their hats for artistic or historical enhancement purposes I raise my glass.

Your bravery and enthusiasm for your hobby is much appreciated.

:cheers1:

Just a coke for me, thanks. Can't risk the Minor in Consumption charge.

Just hand me a glass and don't tell me what's in it. :eusa_clap

With one exception: when someone (like me) contemplates reducing the width of a brim that has a Cavanagh edge ...


The Fedora Lounge does not deem this an "artistic enhancement." :eusa_doh:

Cheers. Frederick Remington called the subjects of his paintings "men with the bark on." That's how I like hats. Toss em in a wild river and pick them up ten miles down stream, beat em with an ugly stick then stretch them back into shape over a bent knee, dry em over a camp fire, wear em ten years, then, maybe, 'bout broke in.

I'll raise a "wee dram" to all those who dare! Or two...or three...:icon_smil

. I do regret fiddling with a couple of my hats though. :eusa_doh: Don't make the same silly mistakes I did with those anymore.
