Well it is stunning man! Felt looks really good with the backdrop of the sunrise.

It's positively pouring down rain here today. So I'm wearing my "grubby" canvas fedora today.

Definitely a nice furry fedora, Perry.

Looks like a nice light-weight fedora, Casechopper. Mallory made a fine fedora.

Hatguy, very nice canvas Fedora a good all weather hat!

Andy, wonderful wigens Cap, looks very good and suits you perfect!

David, ah The Tumwater, one of my favorites hats in your collection!

I just finished this one. It was a small 6 7/8 Mid 50's Knox 15 with a tapered and rounded 5 1/2 inch crown. I needed to up-size it and make the crown taller. I re-blocked it with a 5 7/8 inch crown, used a bit of brim width and up-sized it to a size 7. I used the original ribbon, but I took the bow apart and did a different design. I wanted to make the bow look like something from the late 20's/early 30's. I also re-pounced the felt and gave it a finish that was more in line with a Knox 20 or Knox 40. Its as smooth as silk. I don't think the CAV edge was done too well originally because its not the most even edge I have ever seen, but its not too noticeable.

Elegant job, Joshbru.

Nice Josh.

I wore my Collins & Fairbanks again today. Never thought I'd wear a homburg to work, but I'm really comfortable there, and they're not at all phased by my variety of hats...

I can't imagine why your workmates would be anything other than pleased by your collection. Your hats look like they grew up there. Always a fitting and natural look.

 

[Chepstow]

Nicely done Josh! looks great!

Steve, thanks. Breiter has nice Caps!

 

[hatophile]

Very nice Josh.

And AnA, I meant to comment on the nice looking homburg as well.

That's a TAR alright. Very nice Alan.

 

[alanfgag]

Skinniest I have, I think... they had to double it just to see it.

 

[Joshbru3]

Elegant job, Joshbru.

Nice Josh.

Nicely done Josh! looks great!

Very nice Josh.

Thanks VERY much, Gentlemen! :yo:

TheHat, unfortunately I didn't take any pictures of the "before" hat but it was a very typical tapered/short crown mid 50's hat with a 2 1/2 inch brim. Now the hat has a 2 3/8 inch brim because I had to use an 1/8 of an inch and was able to pull the felt for the rest to fill the crown out.

 

[hatophile]

Alan did you put that hat on a diet????

 

[Joshbru3]

For TAR Tuesday.

Gorgeous Color on that Clear Nutria, Alan! :eusa_clap:eusa_clap
