Really? The Highwayman is a 3x6 bound edge brim with a fancy OR type thin ribbon. Michael changes the thin ribbon to a 13/16" mid ribbon at my request. I have two Highwayman.Are you sure?
I have a few hat projects in the works and this Whiskey 3X Resistol is going to be one of them. It has the usual tall and tapered up crown that was typical of its era and a nice 4 inch brim. I'll be taking this one apart for reblocking and restyling. The sweat and everything original to the hat is in very good condition and will be reused. I plan to keep it Western but I don't know if I'll be keeping the hat since I'm not partial to the color. I'll have more on this hat after I'm finished...
I just bought a very similar hat yesterday. It's a10X Worth hardly worn in perfect hat box. Color is marked cinnamon. Flea market find.
On the head in its current form...
I know how I want to style the brim. I just have to figure what crease I want after its been reblocked.
Just to be perfectly clear I don't know what you are talking about. I made no comment about your wife, my wife or anyone else's wife. I didn't even post a sentence with the word wife in it. I have not deleted anything I have posted today.The “wife” comment was uncalled for: I assume you realized that since it’s been removed (by you or a bartender).
Looks like Nvilletele's new Gannon hat to me & he never called it a Highwayman or a Western.Regardless of the name, it’s a similar hat with western elements.
.I wasn’t poking any bears. I was posting a hat. I truly wasn’t thinking of you, or anyone else, when I posted it.
The “wife” comment was uncalled for:
“wife”
Egos clashing, petty sniping. They are hats, not mega- yachts or maseratis. I'm out of here.HJ:
The “wife” comment was not for you.
The Gannon website lists the hat as a Highwayman. Since it is called that on the maker’s site I used his name for the hat. I attached a screen shot and a link. Perhaps Michael, or someone working for him, mislabeled the hat on the Gannon website? I relied on Gannon’s site for the name of the hat. If it’s incorrectly labeled on Michael’s site you might want to let him know.
I took a photo of the size 61 because that is the size I was looking for at Hornskov. They surely have other sizes on sale, but I look for my size. I’m also sure there are more than just the two of us who wear that size, and I wasn’t thinking of anyone in particular when I listed it. If anything, I was hoping that it might be useful to someone looking for a nice hat who wasn’t familiar with Hornskov. If it’s not to your, or anyone else’s, taste then don’t buy it.
This all seems so petty and pointless. We don’t have to be friends, but we also don’t need to look for arguments.

If it wasn’t
If you don't know if it's from me there shouldn't be any sort of inference or assumption.

Handsome,
Thanks for clearing that up even though you have since deleted it. I don’t like being judged guilty by insinuation. My suggestion would be to not be so cryptic when accusing someone of something.
was sure I saw your name on the post. If you are saying it wasn’t from you then all I can do is apologize.
I got carried away today. I failed to follow my own advice to just ignore posts that I disagree with. Please forgive my boorish behavior.
Jeff, we could have had a couple of those earlier this wk over something to drink if you had let me know you were going to be around.Here’s a little nod to HJ for this fine summer evening:

I can't remember who it was that was wanting that exact hatband by Bohlin or Vogt a while back. That thing on the front looks like a Christmas tree. But if it is truly vintage Nudie Cohen it's a valuable hat.
I actually really like the Hornskov Libertine. I just don't know what to do with Dusty rose or cherry blossom felt. I still might get one though.
