Just finished this hat conversion and I thought I would post pictures. I completely rebuilt this one from an old Stetson Cowboy hat! It has a 4 inch crown with a 2 5/8 inch brim with a olive green bound edge.

Thank you Randooch,Phineas Lamour and Scooter for kind and favorable comments about my work! Scooter the hat is a 7 1/4 or 58 cm. I did this one for a customer of mine in Colorado. Here are couple more pictures of other conversions I have done. This one is a black conversion size 7 1/2, 4 inch crown and 2 5/8 inch brim with royal blue edge binding.

Man, oh man, just gorgeous ribbon work. Those hats are just impeccable. Out of curiosity, so you prefer to do the pork pies, or do you do other styles as well?

edit: just noticed the last hat you posted is a C-crown, so I guess that answers my question.

Thank you Chepstow,scottyrocks,JAVIER and DNO for your kind words about my work! I have been doing quite a few of these conversions lately for people. It just seems like everyone who calls me for a conversion is asking for a Pork Pie Hat. In fact I am working on another one now! Scooter, I can pretty much do almost any type of hat since I have both open crown and Panama blocks it all depends on what hat size your are.
