Western, anyone?

[mullitt]

You’ve done a good job. What did you use to curl the brim?

Thanks. I used this in the 1/2": http://etsy.com/listing/784854180/brim-curlers-v2-by-randal-alan-made-in

I tried the first version he made and they didn't work at all. He was nice enough to send me v2 also when he made that and it worked like a charm. All of the brim curling tools I've seen besides these ones have been 2-3 times more expensive.

Very nice. I’ve read several complimentary things about RA’s products. This cost is even les than what Guy Morse charges for his brim curler.

Backyard happy hour in the age of coronavirus. Vintage Resistol. Lucchese on my feet. Silky smooth polyester pearl snap shirt I found at the thrift store.

I just got an Akubra Drover on ebay. I never even heard of this model and couldn't find any mention of it on the Net, but I like it.

 

[redlinerobert]

Agreed. That's a good looking hat!

I have a Drover that is from the early 80's. It's a great hat.

I guess it must date back to that era, because no one is selling them any more.

OK, I have had this 50's 3X in need of a ribbon for some time.......while digging around for ribbon I spy my 40's - 50's pugs.......then notice the rich colors of this raw silk................when THIS happens.......I am not sure......but I think I like it.

Hat has a 6" open crown with 3 1/2" bound brim......pug is 2 1/2".
Let me know what you think.........

I like it, but I think a solid color pug might go better with this hat (LOVE the hat by the way). Just to be clear, I think your hat and pug look nice, but to my eye it’s a bit busy for a western.

HI

GOOD, but he's right, busy. Not exactly a Gus at least.

I really like my Guy Morse Brown especially that I just needed to buy the one not multiples. It allows me to put the brim curl width that I want with just the one unit.

 

[Rmccamey]

Colors are right, it's just a bit tall for my liking.

Nope. I think the best course of action would be to sell the hat...if only there was someone who would be willing to take it off your hands.

 

[BobHufford]

^^^^^ I agree with Brent. Just sell the hat ... this is going to drive you crazy.

BTW, I think the pug is a bit busy and too wide for a western. A mid ribbon is what that hat is calling for. Killer hat though!

 

[M Hatman]

Back to looking for a ribbon it is........

From Sunday morning roughly around 5:45. Camping sunrise in Lone Pine is hard to sleep in through. Tuttle Creek campground and Alabama Hills are back open, just in time for the 100* temps!
