Well this is kind of cool. Found this hat for my wife. It's a Legroux Soeurs from the 50's. She loves hats and will look exceptional in this I think!
Very nice.Coming from Blacksheep this week. size 7-1/2 LO, 3" brim x 6" crown on 52 block, 1/2" ribbon, 1/4" bound. I'll post it creased after it arrives.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!
Now that is a tease!I had an early bid out (before having to pay for propane line repairs) and ended up winning this one for the opening bid of $9.99. Since this has turned into the teaser thread here is a teaser pic.
His work just keeps getting better!Gannon steel beaver with blue metal ribbon. Michael has assured me that the hat looks more like what I was after when seen in natural light.
Should be here by the end of the week!

I’m anxiously waiting on my Stratoliner Milan in gray to arrive. I should have it this evening as long as the tracking is accurate. I purchased it from the one2miniranch.

Looking forward to seeing it!
American Hat Co 3XCB was received today. It was in the original box so I paid shipping to double box it & it came right on thru on delivery. Been stored in the box for a long time & has a bit of bug damage, but I think I can sand that out. Problem is that it's a size too small but I already knew it was supposed to be. So now I get to decide if I want to try to stretch it to where it could work for me; reblock it to my size; or list it for sale. I have other all natural beaver hats but I don't have a 3XCB or a 7XCB.Looking forward to seeing the rest of it!

Only took a few pics until I decide what to do. Don't want to give it up.
I'm pretty sure Resistol made their felts or at least most of their felt line, & Atwood did & still does make their straws.Not sure if there is a Resistol connection to American Hat Co. This is from their website:
Good looking hat. I have never owned an American Hat Co. but they sure made some good looking hats. That one looks like a good color. What size is it?American Hat Co 3XCB was received today.

It's a 3-1/4" x 6-3/4 or 7" crown. I pushed it out to open crown & flattened the brim so I could work it. The red liner (made by Resistol?) was just taped in so I removed it while I work the felt.
