Great hats guys! I'm goving my Whippet a rest. The lining has a stain from my sweat. It was mint! Not anymore :( So I decided to sweezed my head into my old JJ Hat Center hat. It's tight but I think it's a doable.

What? I thought you went out like the original pics showed. It's looks like that that make you one of my FL heroes.

I will Bob, I will. It needs snow on the ground. The pants are lined and insulated so it was cold enough at 8 this morning, but far too warm by now. I stopped by the vintage store on the way home from my errands and they have a pair of red and black plaid wool hunting/ski pants. I may be tempted to get those if they are around for a few days.

You will stand out!

When you are riding bicycle standing out is a very good thing. Although alternatively a good suit and hat works too. Then you look like you can afford a very good lawyer and drivers give you a big leeway.

There is a plethora of threads on here about resizing/stretching your hat. I had Mike at NW Hats trace my pattern he uses for my custom hats and I'm making my own hat former. I'm a LO so a regular hat jack needs to be trimmed down on the sides. My other plan is to create a wooden form from this custom pattern to keep my hats at that perfect fit. Think I'll post my progress on this idea, it is promising. Art at VS can make one as well, don't know about pricing.
