Robert, Did you have a 3X western converted to this?

Any 'before' pics?

I'm normally not too wild about long-fur hats, but I actually really like that one! Glad you're enjoying it HatHead!




That one looks sharp on you Stealthboy!

I wasn't familar with longfur...I think that's what the one in my profile pic is.

The Brown Fedora Twins I bought this afternoon.

Resistol.Not sure if there is hope for the crown.

The Champ.Center crease,stingy brim but screams for ribbon upgrade!

These two guys are will be what I learn the fundamentals of cleaning,forming and basics (steaming?,ribbon change,etc.)...at least try to.

HMH

Robert, that's awesome - that's exactly the sort of thing I've been looking to do, but haven't been able to find the right candidate. Good job!

1920's Tom Horn-style, renovated by TonyB

This was a nasty, stained 1920's hat with a modern black ribbon, 7 1/8. I cleaned and re-blocked to 7 3/8 and Tony trimmed it to my specs - I love Tony's ribbon and bow:

Stetson Special

One last project...

This is one Bill sent me. It started off as a 7 3/8 - soaked and scrubbed it, then 're-formed' on a full-size vintage stretcher to 7 1/4 + 1/16. It's back together, but nothing's sewn yet. Had to cut a little off the back of the sweatband, and tape together. Brown thread on the underside revealed that the previous ribbon/bow was probably brownish - left with this one for now.

On and Off-topic

I picked up a few hats here and there around the end of the year and I am slowly breaking them out. Someone had posted about a Sears Roebuck and Co. hat they had received and I had replied, thought I would now post pics along with a sweet little Dobbs stingy. The Sears doesn't seem to want to be snapped down in front:

Someone here has, in their signature, a quote about sharp knife, good watch and great hat...
This is the hunting knife my father made for me from scratch. A canadian trapper style:

Will show the swiss watches some other time

Good job on that one Scott!
