Because... imitation is the highest form of flattery...

g.durand, you inspired me to give it a shot. The straw handled the reshaping much easier than I expected. The original cattleman's crease had some tightly pinched lines causing the weave to weaken (probably why it was at the Garland outlet to begin with), so that was the source of my apprehension. But with this crease, the tightly pinched lines are gone, which may help to preserve the weave's inregrity. And I love the look too. Thanks!

Hey everyone!

Today I wore my latest creation, aWinchester rabbit. The color is Sand. 2 1/2" brim, 5 3/4" crown open, 4 3/4" as creased.
I needed some sewing practice, so I bound the brim in the same beige ribbon as the band. I still need sewing practice.

Charlie, so great to catch up with you in person... thanks for posting the photo. Trying to keep the computer closed while on vacation, will add some other pictures when I return.

Joao, my vote is for the Encarnado Custom. Looks great, made in Portugal (for sure) by a Portuguese native, and I do like the Do It Yourself thing.☺
Must be almost time to make the Encarnado Extra Wide model....

HUGE fedora day in Hanover, New Hampshire yesterday, with a two-straw sighting! I had the distinct pleasure of meeting our own Alanfgag in the flesh for a quick walking tour of the Dartmouth campus, then a great lunch. Me: a PHD Special Reserve re-worked by Art Fawcett; Alan: a magnificent vintage parabuntal.

Good morning Fedora brothers,
Today I'm wearing my 1966 The Golden Ivy League by Stetson straw combined by my brown tortoise Tumi Bolte sunglasses.

Good morning, everyone! Lots of great hats the past few days, between the felts, straws, moderns, vintage, etc. I'm especially jealous of Alan and Charlie! Glad to see the great pic together; hope you had a great time! :yo:

Wore this Stetson 3XB yesterday; lightweight and easy...

Our little piece of Heaven, or probably as close as I'll ever get! No internet access there, and cell coverage is spotty, but improving now. It's a forced disconnect which in today's world is extremely therapeutic.

It was almost SURREAL to have had the opportunity to meet and get to know you a bit, Alan!

The Trevino boys are ROCKIN' the Lounge!! Both of you gents have fully arrived, sporting some seriously sweet lids.
Thanks to all for the kind callouts, and again, thanks to Alan for being Alan. A lucky day, indeed!!

But, to get back on topic for this thread, the display of hats while we have been absent is just amazing!

All the usual suspects, as well as some newer happy faces, having hoards of haberdashery happiness!!
