Nice!
Is that the one that sold recently on Goodwill?

 

[Frunobulax]

Nice, Rick. You'll have to mind your P&Qs in that one. Or you could be in a heap of trouble, boy.


Sent directly from my mind to yours.

I have yet to wear this one as the snap brim was giving me fits. I broke out the filtered water and set it to boiling. Steamed the brim down and tightened the front pinch and lengthened the side dents. Will get some pics tomorrow. My first back bow fedora!

Wow Rick!!!
where did you find that one ?

 

[BobHufford]

Thrifted a Stratton "law man" straw. Now, along with my Resistol Trooper, I have all seasons covered while I'm out "patrolling".

Friday afternoon came the mystery box on which I'd bet money as in a game of chance.
Saturday morning, with patience, steam, sponge and brush have revived eight of hats arrived.
Yesterday afternoon I put on this drying rack to air, during day and night, to revitalize the felt.
Well, having said that remains the mystery

What brands of hats are on the drying rack?
A little help: four Italians, three American and one English
Now sharpen your eyes and your knowledge and try to guess

The prize is a bottle of Amarone Valpolicella to drink in Verona

Nice find, Bob. In honor of all these recent L E acquisitions, a little Junior Brown.

Honest, Officer Bob, I wasn't weaving, I was knitting! Great looking straw, I like it.

I would guess there is a Borsalino sitting there for sure. Hopefully in my size!!

OK, I'll play. Three Borsalinos, one Barbisio, two Stetsons, a Dobbs and a Lock & Co.

Pour me a tall one; I'll bring the antipasto.

Nice haul!

...a little Junior Brown.

Junior's good but nobody can play a doubleneck like Jimmy Page!

Soak this milan in warm water and you can shape it into any bash you are looking for. If its the really stiff variety just soak it a bit longer in the warm water. Trust me you cannot harm this hat. I have done it to 3 so far.

Thanks Red. I'll let you off with a warning this time.

I might play around with it some. I don't hate the current crease though. Thanks for the tip!

An especially fabulous hat with special provenance. Interesting and stylish to boot! What a great find, Rick! Wear it in good health, Sheriff!
