That's great AnA - I love the proportions and the bow on the ribbon is really cool!

A&A, I've been tempted to do the same on a sweat - they obviously withstood the test of time. Great looking hat! I like the freyed bow!

Thanks, everyone!! I figured I would take my re-furbs to another level and try my hand at hat making.

The ribbon matched up really nicely. It's one of a few vintage pieces I got from bond. I took some cues from Borsalino and Cavanagh, respectively, with the multi-pleat cinch and frayed end.

There are more to come, for sure! :yo:

The latest...in my adventure of "milliner turns hatter"!

Here is one I just finished for my father. It is 100% Beaver felt in dark grey, finished with vintage lighter grey ribbon. As this was my second "guinea pig", I had far more ease with the construction. I invested in a rounding jack...worth every penny!!! Blocked on a vintage 52. The interior is finished with my own custom stamped leather band. I even got to try out my gold foil embosser and added Dad's initials!!!

So excited about how these are turning out!

What do you think?

...drat! Can't get the lounge to upload my pic!!...back with it later

I got this hat and tried to research about it but almost nothing came out and "Resistol Hats" on facebook was not very helpful only telling me it was a hat made between 1970 and 1972. Don't know the relation this hat might have with the "Resistol 20" ORs, if it is the same felt or not.
The seller told me it had a 3.5" brim but in ended to be a stingy (phun intended you know ) 3" brim. I do like the Fort Worth crease, like the color, the felt feels really nice (almost like the 7XCB), fit's nice in the head but that 3" brim...
This is a Resistol BR Westerns "20".

More pictures of it in the Resistol Roundup thread.

[Brother cavefish]

i just got one of the most awesome hats , sturdy and yet soft, a sweet relaxed bash------i just need to figure out what i am going to do with the headband , maybe a simple thin grosgrain like the hat a couple posts up

 

[ManofKent]

Brother Cavefish - yes simple thin(ish) ribbon would look good

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Nice one. It all depends on owner taste, I like wide ribbons, thin grosgrain ribbons, horsehair hatbands...

 

[dh66]

Nice one Brother Cavefish. I think you're on to something with the thin ribbon.

A thin vintage piece of old leather strap or belt would look great.
