Western, anyone?

[T Jones]

Great work, Terry. The straight-sided crown looks fantastic, and the smooth flow of the brim is perfect.

Thank you Brent!

Third times a charm on this Bradford Western refurb. This is my third blocking on this hat on two different blocks. The first blocking was on my RA and the crown came out looking like a pyramid. I took it apart again and tried blocking it on a #52. Still didn't look right. The third time I went back to my RA and left it on the block for three days. This time it worked out. The hat started out as a too small size 7. It's now blocked up to a 7 1/4. I gave it a simple Cattleman crease and recurled the 3 1/2 brim. I replaced the original 6 ply ribbon with a single ply thin ribbon, which I like better for this hat. I have other plans for the 6 ply ribbon.

Finished and on the head:

The picture of me wearing the hat is the actual color:

Impressive work, TJ.....as usual.

The belief that Santa Claus lives at the North Pole and rides a sleigh that's pulled by eight reign deer, (9 if you include Rudolph), is only a myth.
The actual truth is that Santa Claus is a Cowboy who lives in Texas and he rides a Stagecoach pulled by four horses...

Really digging the curled edge on the brim!

Really digging the curled edge on the brim!

Thanks, Dale. I’ve been going with curled brims more and more recently.

That's a beauty, what's the brim size? I sent off my Akubra Sombrero to be cut down to 4 ¼" with a pencil curl identical to that one, it's exactly what I'm going for size and shape-wise.

We need photos when it comes back.

I'll post them over on the Sombrero thread, should get it back pretty quickly. I changed the size to 4 ½ inches to keep good sun protection with a ¾" curl.

The brim width is 3 ¾” before the curl. I really like the Akubra Sombrero and I’m looking forward to seeing how yours turns out. Here’s mine:
