Thank you, D dog! I used the old T.V. Western 'Maverick' hat as the inspiration for this one, (except with my own touches, which included the bound brim, for one).

I'd buy one of your wonderful hat conversions any day, Terry. Not sure I'd want to play poker with you though [emoji6]

I finished a refurb on this 3X Resistol. The felt on this hat is pretty nice. I started to make this a copy of Pierce Brosnan's hat in "The Son", but went with a 5/8" ribbon with a campaign bow, which seems to be popular in the Lounge. 3.5 inch brim with 6 inch open crown. I used Jim's @Rockwater custom block and replaced the toasted sweatband after a gas bath (the sweat was bad before the gas bath). I was thinking of selling this hat, but I think I will have to keep it. :)

Wow! Hard to believe it’s the same hat.
