The Conversion Corral

[Scooterz]

Does it had the tag under the sweat? What model was it?

Yes. Style is "S259 Hickory Bow" Color is "034 Chestnut"

Can you post a better picture of the original hat and the tag?
The one you post is a big small and lack a bit of detail.

 

[Joao Encarnado]

No. It's definitely the only hat I have like this one...and if you're objecting to my trimming the brim I double checked the inside of my hat to see if I could find your name on it anywhere. I also double checked the receipt to see who paid for it. Guess what. Your name wasn't on MY hat and I was the one who paid for it. Sorry buddy. I don't need your permission to do what I want with the things that belong to me. But, on the other hand, I did decide that I wouldn't cut down brims that are 4 inches and over anymore. Those I'll leave western.

Terry really? Did I complain? I just commented it looks like the other hat you have or had, I don't know and I don't care.
I don't care what you do with your hats. For me you can use them as a chicken feeder or as a flower pot that... I don't care.
Your only hat like that? So you "lost" the other one you call "raider's hat" you keep bashing and bashing? Or did you ruin it with a loss of temper? Why am I asking this? I don't care.
How many times did I wrote "I don't care"? I don't care.
Period. Move on.

Sorry, Joao. Just got used to you saying something about cutting down brims. I thought you were going there again. My mistake. I apologize. But, no. It's a different hat. I still have the other one and it's creased differently and is a different color...Both are Stagecoaches. But different. Here they are, side by side.

Here's the other one you referenced

Here's the one I just finished

But, as we speak, I'm working on another one and it's on the block.

Can't wait to see where you go with this one!

Thanks, buddy. I'm kicking around a few ideas. I'll come up with something.

 

[Scooterz]

Here you go. Click on the pics might get bigger.

Thank you!
Trying to compile a model list but it's kind of hard being this side of the pond.

Trying to finish up another conversion. It's off the block and creased. I still have to trim the brim and flange it, and I have to decide on a ribbon choice. This is another Resistol Stagecoach in Silverbelly. It was originally supposed to have a 3 1/2 brim width but was actually 3 1/8. I gave it the same tear drop crease with the same crown dimensions as my last Stagecoach conversion. It'll have the same 2 3/4 brim width as well. I'm very limited on my ribbon and I don't have much to choose from. I've always liked the mid ribbons of the Stetson Playboys and Wanderers. But, since I'm not financially healthy enough to try and get one I have to come up with my own stuff. So, I'll call this conversion and my last one, Tallboys, in reference to the tall Stagecoach crowns...

Trying to decide on a ribbon choice. I have this wide burgundy ribbon but I don't know how versatile it would be as far as going well with both casual and dressy attire...and my only brim flange has a flatter and more casual curl to it. So, I don't know how well it would work out...I want something versatile and casual.

This is a ribbon that Esther sent to me. 1 3/4 wide.

Here's a gray mid ribbon that has decorative edging. It was given to me from 'The Dane', Ole.

I don't have much to choose from.

I like the copper. Wonder how it would look on Silverbelly. I like the color of your natural felt, too.

Afternoon All,


Love this forum! I was wondering if anyone could help me out. i have just started making hats and have experience with sewing and patters etc, as I use to be a tailor on Savile Row. I am wanting to make a rounding jack as we can't get them in the UK. does anyone have any plans i could follow i am good with wood working and can make one but need a plan as I've never held one in my hands and actually studied its build.


Any help would be greatly appreciated!


Regards


Marcelle

Welcome, you will find a kind and encouraging group here. My suggestion is Read, Read, and Read some more! If you search the lounge (I suggest using Google + Fedora Lounge) you should see a number of posts and threads that can answer this query.

 

[hatsRme]

Hey, Marcelle, and welcome aboard. You need to spend more time poking around here, sir. There are many threads that would be helpful to you, but from your opening post question, start here. Best of luck!!
