Out and about with a Fred Bare hat I bought in Paris in the 80's, it's black sisol with a ball fringe edge.

Glad to see everyone is looking as smart as ever!

Sometimes Ebay pays off, sometimes not so much. This Cavanagh straw looked ok in the BIN listing. It is not a total loss, it just will need some TLC. A good cleaning an reblocking will bring this one back to life. Nice tight weave, stingy 1960s brim and it is a Cavanagh. All is not lost, it does not look as good in had as in these images.

...and you are as well! :)
Thank you Bob! I seem to have posted it in the wrong thread though!

Thanks Red! It's a fun hat, with a unfinished look that seems to me is more difficult to achieve than it looks. Your Cavanagh is quite a find, some TLC and you will be looking very dashing with it!

A recent commission to go with a long black knit dress with thin blue lines. Hand dyed pinokpok (a finer type of sinamay) blocked over hand carved cork blocks mounted on double headband. Very hard work but I'm really pleased (as was the customer) with the result. Hope you like it!

So stylish and avant garde! I'm sure this creation will make a stunning statement! You are an artiste!

I think it's a winner as is, Red. Don't get too fussy with it!
