Big WOW, Harv. A 3X is always sweet, a wide ribbon even better, and a shark gill to boot! Love everything about this hat!

I find these light grey hats with the black ribbon go well with all sorts of colors, clothing wise, not just greys and blacks.

I'm a sucker for shark gills and wind trolleys, so I'll be sneaking over to Harv's to try it on when he's not looking.

Thanks Tommy. I am glad I got this one.

Hey everyone!
Wearing my newly converted Resistol 3X Beaver "Top Rail". A few weeks ago, I wore it in it's original Western form in a light rain that turned into a downpour. The hat got soaked through, and started dripping brown dye. Since it was already soaked, I threw it in a sink of lukewarm water to leach out the extra dye. I couldn't believe how much dye was left in the felt! It looked like I threw a dye packet in instead of a hat. It was strong enough to stain my hands for a day. Added some citric acid to hopefully set the dye, rinsed well, no more leakage. Reblocked it, then it sat around till last night when I got bored.

Crown is now 6" open, down from about 6 1/2". I was surprised at how much the felt had shrunk when I was reblocking it, especially since I have hot water dyed (130-140 degrees F) fur felt before with much less shrinkage. Brim is now 2 5/8", cut down from 3 1/4"
I am thinking about binding the brim, but not quite sold on it yet. Regardless, it will get a lot more head time now.
Have a great day!

Good job, moe. Looks great

 

[Frunobulax]

Good job, moe. With that much shrinkage, I'm surprised it still fits. Looks great, though.

Hello all.
Not dead yet and been quiet since there is no new hat to show, always the same hats over and over.
Too much to reply and too much pictures of all the hats I wore this 2 weeks to post. If anyone wants to see them, just get the link of today picture and change the day.
So today this Stagecoach

So many great hats today, as always. Back to the Stetson 25 today. I love this hat. This pic got me to thinking about Harv's comments on his Dickies shirts, which I'm a big fan of by the way. I can"t remember ever posting a photo wearing any shirt other than a pearl snap western shirt, most in various shades of blue with the occasional white one or plaid Pendleton. I was leaving the house this morning and the missus said that I looked nice. I responded with a thank you and said something to the effect that it's just a different shade of the same uniform. Just like Fruno's signature line says.
