Apparently, the delivery guys weren't quite done with me when I posted the pics of the Barton. A little while later, my Open Road arrived!

​

I'll get some better pics when I get to a better camera, but it looks like it's in pretty good shape. A little steam, a little Lexol for the sweat & I'll be good to go!

Congratulations!

I sent my Barton hat to Mike Moore for a new sweat, stretch and cleaning. It just arrived today. I think he did a great job (at a very reasonable price, I might add), but stretching it left the ribbon just almost too short. The brim is stingier than most of my hats, so can I get some honest opinions on how it looks on me?

Not too stingy at all. I think it looks real sharp. Nice head to hat ratio.

New to me but not to the FL. The stiffest vintage Stetson I've encountered(not including Derby).

Odd. Mine is the thinnest, floppiest Stetson I own.

That, Brother Spats, is a pearler. How could you harbour any doubts that it looks great on that legal scone?! Now, give it an airing in the Bar too!

Spats...I think the new lid looks great on you!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Thanks, everyone! I really like the Barton, but I've grown accustomed to 2.5" brims.

Here are before and after (steaming) pictures of my new (to me) Open Road:

Gee Whiz! Leave for a week and come back to tons of new, great-looking hats!

Standouts of the bunch-Mario's Dunlap, GClark's VS, jwall's newly minted derby, and Spat's Barton. Really nice, every one!:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Looks good Spats. Mike did a good job it appears. You need some good rez' pics of that hat. From memory of the auction pic's that ribbon style/color and hat color are outstanding. I know these pics don't do that hat justice.

Spats; loooking goood as always. Mr.P Thanks, check out other photos on the Bowler thread.

Art Fawcett Capone Replica

I asked Art to replicate two Borsalino fedoras owned by Al Capone - the first arrived yesterday. I used a ribbon from a 20's fedora so it is period accurate.

Garrett, from everything that I have ever seen of Capone wearing that hat, I would say Art did a really good copy. Art is as much magacian as he is hatter. Enjoy, it a beauty.

Champ

Just got this stingy Champ with brim binding. Pretty nice feel to the felt. Original price tag of $9.95. Lefty, its from Mount Vernon, OH.

Also from Mount Vernon, Ohio

Got this Kevin McAndrew along with the Champ. Very nice hat. The sweatband is really thick and soft. The liner tip is a knockout.

Be sure to put them in the Ohio thread.
