Here is my new hat, I know almost nothing about it, other than it looked interesting and was cheap on ebay. It is a Churchill Woodside in canyon. I gave a quick cleaning and brush it out then spent some time cleaning the human slime off the hatband. It came out pretty decent so far, I may try my hand at repairing the moth chew on the crown and I think the brim needs a little stiffener.

What a haul. Bob! The Open Raod and the 7X are the winners for me.
That's fantastic! Any pics from before the transformation?This is a Stetson St. Regis that was languishing on EBay. I’d always been curious about converting a homburg to a fedora. A super talented friend of mine took this on and it turned out beautifully. It really has a Whippet feel and the dimensions are perfect—5 1/2 open crown and 2 1/2 brim. This one is going to get a ton of head time—it’s super comfortable and because it’s a conversion I feel less precious about it than I would a vintage whippet....
What a fantastic hat, love the colors. I can’t wait to see some sunny day pictures too. It looks right at home on you as well. Great get.
Here’s the hat in the sunlight.Absolutely beautiful hat! Looks great on you. I love this color combo. I have a few now that are black with that sort of black cherry binding. I’d love to see this one in the sun to see if you can capture more of the blue.
If anyone has any info on this brand, I'd sure be appreciative of it.
What a haul. Bob! The Open Raod and the 7X are the winners for me.
7 7/8 right?
Really nice
That's an impressive haul, Bob! Not a bad one in the lot....unless you factor in that none would fit me. That Bandera has an interesting looking crease on it.
ANOTHER nice entry in "our" size.......
