Aint too many "duds" in that collection and the finast leftovers and sloppy 2nd's you'll ever see.

Love to see any hat made by this master. Is the ribbon treatment sharks gill? or a fancy bow.

Another WINNER, Harv! I know it's sacrilegious around here, but I love those stingy TARs.

One I just finished and suspect that won't leave my head anytime soon.

OMG, you have reached new heights, Esther! An entirely new and lovely look!!

My VS Tucker today:

View attachment 66039

It arrived from Art Fawcett as a centerdent, but I had to raise the rear of the crown a bit to clear my head. At last I gave in, listened to the hat, and recreased it as a diamond-with-dome. The beaver blend felt makes it the smoothest-textured hat I have.

Nice hat. What are the brim width and crown height?

Hey everyone!
A few weeks ago I posted a Dobbs Homburg from the early 40s that I foolishly placed a bid on without asking for measurements. Nobody else put in a bid against me. Two sizes too small, it turned out. I had not had much luck stretching anything more than one size, but then mmbarnes mentioned he has a secret technique for a two-size stretch, and I was intrigued. In a PM, he revealed his closely guarded method. I can't divulge any of the details, all I can say is that it does NOT directly involve Voodoo, hot 'n' spicy pork rinds, calculus or Flubber. Although a Flubberized hat would be both incredibly cool and more than a little dangerous. Anyhoo, using some of my ideas and his, I achieved a quite satisfactory stretch with no damage to leather, felt or thread.

I decided on a non-traditional crease for this one.
Have a great day!

Super, SUPER job, Moe, and that's NOT a stretch...
Really well done!! I can't tell!

Simply stunning! That ribbon and bow are the best. You are a true artist Esther! Very impressive!

Well look at you mister Scarfy Mc Scraferson.

Great looking hat Harv!

 

[EstherWeis]

Very nice Esther. I could see why it would be getting a lot of wear time in the near future. Fantastic work on the bow.

Thank You Michael.

Aw thank you Chas
Glad you like it.

Thank you, it's stunning felt for sure.
And the ribbon works really well, silk taffeta and I are good mates.

it was based on a sketch I did for Art When I ordered the hat. Here it is a few years old

Here is is today in the back yard in sunlight. Some Eleven years later.

Tell you the truth, I never noticed how the blue got bleached out to grey untill now. Oh my

Nice hat. What are the brim width and crown height?

Brim is 2.5". Crown at its highest, as creased, is ~4.5", but I'm sure it was well over 5" uncreased.
