Great looking work, man. Did you start the hat from scratch, or did it start life as a hat? It looks fantastic! :eusa_clap

Thanks 1mach1. Scratch built from a rabbit fur hat body. The customer looked like a gray version of Boston Blackie, complete with pencil thin moustache.

Nice job!

Thanks RJR. I wanted to keep it for myself. Good thing it was way too small.

Here is a shot of my ‘new’ Resistol 3x Beaver from my good friend Major Moore of Buckaroo Hatters.

It is a nice green that sometimes looks grey. It has a 5 1\4 inch crown…CREASED!!!!
And a 2 3\4 inch brim.
Here is a shot of Rocky’s brother Rusty wearing it. Looks really good on him!

Mike has also received some ‘branding irons’ for putting initials on hats. Here is a photo of the
Buckaroo Hatters logo.

I love it! Thanks Mike!

Wow!! Very nice!

Sweet conversion. I always admire good ribbon work, but I'm also drooling over that pile of very nice beaded hatbands.

Not sure if I would want a hat marked with a "branding iron"...

Just plain completely PERFECT, Rusty. Another masterpiece by Mike!

Thanks. Western or dress weight 3X?

It was an old western Resistol that Mike worked over.

Gotcha. Thanks.
Don't forget to ask about that block he used on your Milan Strat...

 

[RBH]

I sent that to you in a PM. But anyway, the only number on it was 125.

My bad...
You did but I was turkey hunting and blew it away via Tapatalk on my phone.
Thanks again.

Excellent job by Mike, Rusty. Great looking hat.

No problem. I think I took a pic of it. I will check it out.

It has the tear drop crease built in, right?
