Have you guys heard of this fella ?

Nahhh, this hat isn't too big at all...
The funny thing is, even at such a young age, he's so careful with them.
If i leave them within his reach, he will put it on, walk to a mirror and go WAUW.
Get them while they are young eh?

Joao, glad your mom is OK
a little brim to the pleasant mix, single action/ BB?
Thank you.
Nice wide brim there. I like the ribbon/biding color on black.

Love the crease on 'the big one'
Glad your Mom is ok!k
Thank you. It's one of my favourite hats.

Like 2 things if this post.
A.- Your mom is ok.
B.- That Tom Mix is a great looking hat.
Hope all is well
Thank you. My kind of hat ;)

glad mom is ok my friend
Glad yer Mom's well.
Happy your mom's OK, Joao.
Thank you for your concern.

Joao, glad it was nothing serious with your mom & hope she is back home now. When you can please post details on your Tom Mix. I like that!
She didn't stay in the hospital, she's home, now with less pain.
Details on that Tom Mix? A modern 4x Beaver Stetson Tom Mix (TOM MIX PC), 5 1/4" brim but with the pencil roll it goes to 4 3/4", Gus crease peaking at 7.5" crown, 1 5/8" ribbon.
Yeah, one of my favourite hats! If it were a 7XCB felt it would be amazing!! Can't imagine Alan's Clear Nutria!

Great collection of lids everyone! That's a handsome looking youngster, Esther!

I don't think I've had a hat give me as much trouble to block and crease as this Resistol 3X has. The open crown is way too tall to make a crease look half way decent without the crown tapering. I finally settled on a Diamond crease, which I'm not particularly fond of. But it worked out good in this case. The crown's a tad lower and the sides all around stayed nice and straight. I also went to pains to accent the Cross inside the Diamond, a tribute to the faith of Jesus Christ. I salvaged a 6 ply mid ribbon and sewed it on with just a keeper and a tail, keeping the ribbon work simple....

For the third time....

Too cute, Esther! Everybody is looking great on a weekend. I don't think we've seen a Portis in a while, HurricaneJack. Nice.
Dave, I hope you and your wife have a wonderful time.

This is a good sign. I just realized that the 'other' new ebay hat I have been waiting for is from you. hahaha

It should be there when I get home tomorrow.
MB has some of the finest felts on eBay
Without a doubt

I've bought some beauties from him
...and one of my absolute holy grails is from him

Always quality in superb condition

I think it looks great Terry. If you can't handle the tall crown maybe I can ;)

Granpa with his 98 years, his cap, his tequila Herradura Añejo (to classy for me) and the Mariachi.
The ugly one is me with a Mexican Mariachi hat.
Nice pictures there.
The Mariachi hat is too much for me. I do like big brims but there is a limit for me.

Welcome back to NorCal, g.durand! It's been wet!

Joao, didn't ever expect that....a brim too big! And, glad to hear that Mom is OK.
