jamespowers said:Except when I got done with it it would have style.
I guess yopu are right. It just wouldn't fit him after I fixed it.
Pilgrim said:But the one thing it DOES have now is style. The guy really has a way of conveying his style well.
DanielJones said:Tiny Tim? Oh, wait, I was thinking of Tom Thumb.
Now there was a stylish little fellow.
Cheers!

matei said:Here is my new fave hat for the summer:
It is an old Borsalino that Art Fawcett restored. He did a wonderful job. It is made from soft, buttery felt - so light weight that you can reshape it without steam, in seconds.
Perhaps "beater" isn't fair - it is a fine hat, and great restore by Art!

Wild Root said:I'll post a photo of my beater... it's an early 40's Stetson Imperial I got it from Matt Deckard, it retains the hand block from the original owner, it's liner fell out (I have it and will put it back soon) The leather sweat band is in good shape but, needs to be stitched back in. The hat is dirty but, man, what a cool look it has!
