Hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas!
My niece loved the hippiee hat I made, hopefully soon she can wear it while we try out the new metal detectors my Mom got us.
It's sunny, but chilly. I was going for the OR, but then grabbed the 3XBQ Stetson, and decided to give it a good steam and brush to perk it up for the honor of Hat o' the Day. I hadn't realized just how much I had matted the nap of the felt during my last reblock and sweat replacement. Brushed it backwards like I did for the Lembert and got good results. Not sure what process was used to ake this finish, but it feels much more velour-like now.

There's just something to love about an old, soft hat. And maybe even about a guy who wears it!

Thanks!
It's a 60s Royal Stetson no name Play Boy clone

Since the edge is bound, this is more likely a Stetson Wanderer.

My brother and I have been using an ice chopper to ease the ice from the boathouse foundation and dock pilings. A Stetson Homburg was the hat of the moment.

We are going to tune into the Newcastle vs. Everton game on TV shortly. A Surley Furious is on the ready.

Football! Best, Eric -

This is right on

Thanks for the correction (I have on insight into this and just went along with what the seller wrote)

A drive out to the town of Yecla Spain for lunch today gave me the opportunity to
try out my new SB Campdraft Deluxe that my good lady put under the tree for me yesterday.
I have to say that I'm rather smitten with it!!

Out the day after Christmas antiquing with my Lovely Bride in this 50s Stetson 3X Open Road-that-doesn't-actually-say-Open Road in it anywhere. Picked this up a couple of weeks ago partially on a tip from The Hat Whisperer (Moon). It needed some TLC in the form of a bath and a re-block, but it seems to have perked up nicely in time for its inaugural trip on my head. And in today's case, weathering a good rain storm.

Many thanks, I still have a little tweeking to do on the bash, but have to say I'm pleased with the overall look.
Taking the photos today, with the breathtaking views was an absolute pleasure.

Thanks, my friend. It wasn't exactly what we were expecting, but in the end, it's turned out great.

Here's the kicker. We found my wife an almost identical 3X OR at the antique mall today. Got that and found her an appropriate Stetson box for about 1/3 of what I got this for. And hers says Open Road in it and won't need cleaned.

Sigh...

Hey, sounds like a fairly easy rehab Fruno. My OR needed a full disassembly, cleaning, resizing and reassembly. And worth every stitch, poked finger and swear word of the process.
About the wife's lid...get all the mileage you can out of the phrase "nothing but the best for you, dear." And remember that she doesn't have a nicer Playboy than you.

I remember when you posted the hat. I agree with dean. It's a Wanderer. It has the thin brim binding like a Strat or Open Road, but has the mid-ribbon like a Playboy. I'd love to get my hands on one but they seem to be a little hard to find let alone finding one in my size that I can afford. I guess I could always get an OR and make a few minor adjustments and come up with my own version of a Wanderer.

Back in the workshop today.
I hope all of you had a nice holiday.

I'm digging this guy lately...
