Yep Feraud, my hatter does a mean clean and block.
Now...what bash would a gay blade fancy??

 

[Ephraim Tutt]

Yep JTL - that's the very bash I had in mind.

You're the very model of a gay blade!

Such a fellow might favor a slight crease in the crown and a generous swoop to the brim!
That wide bound brim lends itself nicely to a confident post-war Bold Look.

Hmmm....food for thought there Feraud.

Do you have a pic of a hat with such a bash?

Now that's a bound brim! Suppose that's about a 12 ligne? Very sharp, Jim, as always.

Between Gene cutting bound edges & you destroying thin ribbons, at least hats on the mainland will be safe while you 2 are out at sea!!!!
