Nostalgia

The Mo. store states they have no Nostalgias but will have in ? three weeks. The Texas store does not have my size of 7.5 soo I guess I try later. John

Oh my! I ordered my nostalgia after work yesterday and it was sitting on my porch when I got home today! Now the mailman is here with an Akubra box!

 

[hatophile]

Boy are you in trouble!

 

[Duper]

Rodkins, I think Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon said it best In "Grumpy Old Men".

Lucky b@st@rd!

 

[Mr E Train]

My Nostalgia was also waiting for me when I got home this evening. OK, you guys are probably going to consider this a wasted opportunity, but I have really had a jones for a pork pie lately, and one that isn't low-crowned and narrow-brimmed. So I bashed a pork pie. I think it looks pretty keen. I might get the brim bound at some point, but it seems to have sufficient snap for now. I'll probably wear it snapped down in front mostly, but up sometimes depending on my mood.

 

[Rodkins]

Very cool E Train.

 

[Mr E Train]

I hate to disappoint by not offering a fedora crease, but I had to follow my heart, and my heart wanted a pork pie.

Where's yours, Rodkins? Well, you have the Campdraft too, so your attentions are probably divided.

I'll get some pics up tomorrow. I've been wearing both but havent had a chance to post pics.

Very Nice

That looks very nice Mr. E; plus it looks like you got one with the pin! Did you just dry bash it, or did you use some steam?

 

[Mr E Train]

Thanks! Dry bashed in that set of photos. Today I used just a few sprays of distilled water, lowered the side walls just a little and raised up the dome so it protrudes slightly.

Looking pretty spiffy, Mr. E! I'm not a big porkpie fan, but this really does look good.

Oh, and congrats, Rodkins! Can't wait to see what you do with yours.

...

Dry bashed? You put that pork pie in with a dry bash? That speaks more highly of the felt than any wordy description in my mind.

Can in handle a flat top, Mr E Train?

It's pretty easily malleable felt. I used a little water when I was refining it, mostly just to help it stick. I probably could have done without the water.

That I'm not sure of. Maybe it can, but I'm sure I can't.

Thanks. The nostalgia has some thick and soft felt.

 

[Dave E]

That looks good. I'll have to look into how easy they are to get in the UK at some point.
