Portis western kept my noggin warm as I cleared a path from the deck for the knuckleheads. Told one in particular that if he tears up another leg, I’ll rename him Tripod.

Thank you, Perry. Never saw myself in a green hat until someone talked me into buying this one. Glad they did. The usual fine display of hats and sweaters from you this week.
Not a big fan of green hats eh? I can relate.:) Still, this Portis is a remarkable hat, Greg.

My Knox Stagecoach refurb on the head....the open crown is 7 inches tall with a 4.5 inch brim width. The brim curl is 1/4 inch. The crown now sports a Montana Pinch with a Mule Kick in the back.

Taken apart and ironed out to its original block shape:

After: except for the weaved hat band everything original to the hat was reused

I think I think that is your best conversation yet, Terry.

Outstanding! Now it looks like it should! You have a real talent with westerns.

Hi Terry
Great shape, Love it except for the ribbon, but I'm not a fan of thin ribbons. I can't believe that they made a telescope style bash out of a 7 inch crown originally. Dang.
Later
Thank you MJ! The thin ribbon's temporary for now until I can find a wider matching ribbon for it. The hat is a granite color and I don't have anything that matches it. Hopefully, I'll come across one sooner or later.

Yeah, a low telescope crown kinda had me scratching my head too, especially for a 7 inch open crown. Seemed like a waste of crown to me.
