Nice hatting safari, Bolt -- I see you bagged a Lion... Man, I love that hat. Could you post a close-up of what's going on with the ribbon on the left side of the hat? It almost looks like the button on the ribbon is connected to a wind-string -- or am I seeing things?

Fantastic lid -- tell us all about it when you get a chance. :eusa_clap

Cheers,

Here's my latest eBay purchase: It's obviously a Stratoliner which was refurbished quite some time ago. I'm thinkin' "Jay Bee" is J. B. Stetson's refurb dept., no?

Great Strato-like, Gene! The colour is very interesting.
I see you have not been idle of late... you have been procuring some nice gifts for yourself!

Fed IV

Here are some pictures of my new Fed IV.

And this last one is posted to show the bash. I spent about 15 minutes on it Christmas Eve while waiting for the kids to go to sleep.

It wasn't a Christmas gift and I bought it myself (meaning my wife didn't know about it until a couple of days before it got here). But it arrived on Christmas eve and it sure made my Christmas!

Great bash, rrog! It really gives the crown that "stove-pipe" look that vintage hats have.

Jimmy, you're right....there's a trolley on it, but for some unknown reason they have the button attached to the ribbon. [huh]

Upon careful inspection, it looks like it's tacked with some sort of little metal clip, not a stitch.

I have to try and get that clip out and let the button sit where it should, naturally. I think it looks silly the way it is. :eusa_doh:

I dunno, Bolt -- I think the button looks pretty cool that way. It gives the lid a unique look. What can you tell us about the felt, etc.? I'm all ears to learn about Lion Lids!

I agree. That crown shape works really well on you. I tho't your Stylemaster looked good on you but your new Fed IV works even better.
