Thanks Bob. I used the original 6-cord but replaced the single loop with the bow. My first curl project and I wasn’t able to locate a curling tool. Had to resort to homemade techniques and the results weren’t as smooth as I would have liked. Good learning experience though.

Well ... sure enough. I didn't see the cording in the first picture thinking it was just a thin-ribbon. You still did good.

I’d wear that hat and love it! You did a great job with it. You can always refine it if you want, but it’s completely wearable as it is.

Thanks for the kind words Brent. I promised my wife that I wouldn’t wear it outside of the house but the worm may turn for this hat in a few weeks.
Love that hat! It seems a binding could be just the ticket to solve/hide issues on my hat.

Out for coffee under a BSHW clone of a 1930’s or so Western fedora in short nap blue heather, & under a beautiful & crisp blue sky.

Cool. There’s something you don’t see too often.

The Stetson Grizzly and the Resistol Panda are a couple of the modern era long hair westerns, but they go way back. They either weren’t very popular or didn’t have a high survival rate as it’s not common to see many from the 1950s or earlier.

Yes, sir! I do wish the crown was taller…I could go for another 1.5 inches.
Should I be looking for one to send your way?

A 5” brim and a rattlesnake hat band should help you to stand out just about anywhere.
