Western, anyone?

[BobHufford]

Thank you Bob. I think the work you did on that crease looks great. That's a nice one!

Thanks Terry!

Beautiful work @T Jones / Terry!

I'm not in your league, but I'm still having fun learning. Started reshaping this Hatatorium custom. I saw this crease on an old western that was on TV a few weeks back. Sort of a Mullet-Center-Fire. Still have some work to do (a few bumps from the old crease -- I did not re-block it) and I want to curl the brim tighter towards the front (similar to yours).

I'm calling it a Mess Kit.

These were the "before" pics. A little too standard-1990s-western for me.

Very nice and unique Bob. I'm with you on the generic crease it started with. Much more interesting now.

I messed around some more with that dirty-dog Stetson that I thought my wife might wear. She does not like high crowns and I lowered it about as much as I could. Still no love...

Current (still need to deal with the glue residue):

Ha! Looks like you got frustrated and killed the bottle! I do like the crease though.

Lots of frustration lately...out of Stranahan's again!

I'd like to keep the crease but it's too tall & narrow looking on me.

I'm kind of liking the double diamond.

Thanks Ed! I do too. I'm happy just being able to look at it when I walk by.

American Hat Co 3XCB

I haven't touched this one in a wk or more. I really like the look of this crease I put in...on the table; not one me! The sweat is extremely dry & brittle; splits with just the slightest touch; really needs to be replaced. I'll probably put the hat away until I decide what comes next.

3X Clear Beaver. Now that's a hat to work with!

Not as nice as a 7XCB but I'll probably never find one in my size.

Yup. You're definitely right about the 7XCBs but you just don't see those 3XCBs around very often. Although I'm not picky. Either, or, would be just fine with me!

If the sweat & fit is right I'm not picky either once it's on my head. It's just that the 7XCB would be the pinnacle.

That is nice!!

Thanks Scott.

This original beaded hatband belongs to a guy who no longer posts. I'm checking into having it repoed by a beader I've used. I don't know if I really like that many white beads & it's not as "busy" as I like. I'm thinking of changing the white to bone or maybe a baby blue sky with a darker blue border. The airplanes will be gone.

What say you?

I like your thinking. The planes being removed would give it more of an old school look, which I like.

I can make it look busier by running a border up & in to the "mountain" all the way around, & closing it off at the bottom like so:

That is a great looking hat Jack! I like your thoughts on the beadwork. You have a good eye for it.

Yesssss! Now I want one...

That's a nice sombrero, never really paid any attention to one before.
