Yup! A jen-yoo-wine BEAUTY, Alan. My dad had a TempleForm/Stylepark hat or two, too. First one I've seen since his!

Bump. I know of at least one that belongs in here. Anybody have any Templeforms that can give some life to an old thread and underappreciated brand?

Makes me proud that I’m carrying on their legacy. Maybe not as well, but I’ve done my best.
I sewed this ribbon and bow on last week, then yesterday hand sewed a single row of gray stitches around the brim edge, somewhat like a Playboy.
It was a task! But now that I’ve done this maybe now I’ll be more prepared to sew some 7/8 ribbon for brim binding on my Wormser fedora today.

Very cool Randall ! Seems like a very well made hat and looks great.
Can you tell a difference in the Templeform fit ?

Yes, Tim. My egg head fits perfectly and comfortably in the egg shaped opening. Going to be in my top three favorites for sure-with comfort being one of the reasons.
As far as quality, I’d put this one up there with the best 40s hat makers.
If anyone finds an old Stylepark I’d say don’t hesitate to add one to your collection.

Thanks for posting this great lid, and thread revival/reminder, @Randall Renshaw... I should have posted this stupendous Stylepark about three years ago...
So, since it's a seriously sunny Saturday Sabbath, it's time for the TempleForm!!
Shabbat Shalom, Y'all!!!

Saw this Templeformon Ebay for $29 in my 7 1/2 size with only two ugly photos, but my other Stylepark Templeform is such great quality (rivals vintage Borsalino), I figured it was worth the gamble. A little steam and shaping and it looks great. It also is high quality felt and structure. The seller was the rudest person on Ebay I have ever encountered, but at least he didn't know what he was selling. My Ebay gambles don't always work out this well. Glad when they do.
