Here is my 16th conversion.A Resistol Stagecoach,color Tan Bark,Brim was 4",now 2 5/8".Crown open 6 1/4",now as creased front 5",back 5",highest point on sides 5 5/8".Ribbon 1 1/2" dark brown.Liner is one of the pin-up liners that I made.Also my 1st try at a shark gill bow.
That's ok,Joao I understand your pain.Thank you,ManofKent glad you liked it.T Jones it's cool you guys like the bow,it wasn't that easy for me to make. The center is 1" the pleats are 1/2",the bow is 5" long.
(Sorry Joao), A Stetson 100 conversion I'm almost done with. No good before photos, but it was a Rancher crease with a OR style ribbon, and about a 3 inch brim.
I love this ribbon. It's marked 1952, so was perfect for this hat, which was about the same year based on the onion skin sweatband barrier.
For the record, this hat was stretched rather than re-blocked specifically to save the sweatband, all vintage tools, methods & materials were used, and no baby seals or dolphins lost their lives...
