I've been watching these. Thanks for posting the photos, IC. Yours is definitely a stumbler*.


* that stylish stuff that causes them to take a stumble off their high heels

I thought I was the stumbler... lol

 

[indycop]

That looks good! The brim sits just like it's suppose to. Now I'm anxious to see how mine turns out. I might get pictures tomorrow.

Yours will probably make me get a Montecristi, especially if that ribbon looks as good as I think it will!

That's funny, it came straight out of the box and didn't need any shaping or Gene mods. lol

Lee Trinity

This one arrived at...the customs today...!

Bought from Johnnyphi, this is my first Lee. It's a Blue Label Trinity. The main color is gray, and even though johnnyphi's site described the ribbon as somewhat greenish, it has a rather reddish/magenta hue to it, depending on the light.

Brim 2 1/2"
Crown 4 1/2" (creased)
Ribbon 1 5/8"
Binding 3/8"

The hat is in perfect condition, so I just gave it a good brushing and a new crease.

I'm assuming the hat is from the 1950's. Could that be right?

Absolutely beautiful,Mario:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It looked like this when I got it on ebay.

Great look, IC. I like the trend of the colored ribbons on your straws. They are cheery and eye-catching. Really nice crease job done on that one, as well. :eusa_clap

Mario, that hat has really nice lines to it, especially the profile shot (#3). Very nice.

From the pictures, I'd say it's a good bet it's 1950's. A VERY nice hat! :eusa_clap

Knox - The Fifth Avenue

With all the hats I've bought I hadn't run into a Knox yet that I wanted. Finally spotted what looked like a winner on ebay. Just received it and I'm very happy with it (except for the sweat falling off :eusa_doh: ). More in the School of Hard Knox thread.

New Akubra Squatter, super fine, featherweight...

Got this from Cookie out of Classifieds. He had trimmed the bound edge off a couple of Akubra Squatters like somebody we know does down in Florida. I was really interested in the grey one. There is a brown one that I got but I'm still thinking on it = almost too Indy for me!
I took his brim modification to a dimensional cut of 2 5/8" front & back & 2 1/2" on the sides & went with a diamond crease....
