Be well. Bowen

What are these “leather jackets” of which you speak? Come back to the light before it’s too late.

That Nutria is a knockout! Is that the rowboat crease?

This arrived late yesterday - a 1920s/'30s Lamson Hubbard courtesy of @splintercellz.

It's got that unmistakably malleable vintage felt that holds whatever shape you put into it, even without steam.

As it is ever slightly too snug, right now it is pulled part-way down on my straight sided 23" Hat Shaper. I put a light sheen of shea butter on the sweat to help relax it as it stretches out a bit. I will report back tomorrow on the fit.
Good to see this beauty stay in the family. You rock!

My new Whippet, after reshaping, cleaning, brushing, steaming, and replacing the ribbon.
This Mexican hatter is good!

Too bad he couldn't save the old ribbon, but I like the style of the new ribbon.

Seeing how my computer monitor messes with colors, what color is the ribbon on the Whippet now?
It's brown, Doug. The hat looks like new. I was a little scared about it before I met this Mexican hatter. Now I don't feel defenceless. When I need something done on a hat, I don't have to pay for shipping back and forth to the US, plus this guy's prices are excellent.

I would be happy too! It's a beauty, and at an unbelievable price. Congratulations!
The $13 3X arrived...

That’s too small to be a hat box.

Needs a little cleaning and shaping (unless I want to start a trend with the square brim flanging).

Didn’t notice any stickers behind the sweat after a quick peek. This may be a Shudde refurb. I’m super happy with it though.

Now that's a score, Bob!
