Wow ! Fantastic Hat Esther ! Love it . I personally think women with glasses look great , also , but Lovely Esther doesn't need glasses for that . The Mr is doing alright . Great Outfit Esther . What color is that felt ?

 

[T Jones]

These conversions of yours are incredible. I love each one of these mile high beauties. But this color...Wow! I think it is my favorite.

Thank you, Red. I appreciate that. The one in the picture is Resistol's chestnut color. I don't know if that color is still available, though. It's a nice rich shade. It's become a favorite in my meager collection as well. The pictures don't even come near to doing this hat justice.

Regarding the proportions, it started off with a tall open crown. I reblocked it slightly shorter in height on a straight sided block. As creased, it's basically 5 inches all around, 4 3/4 at the pinch with the rake sloping to 4 1/4 at the back. The brim is 2 3/4 wide.

Well, @hatsRme Charlie, I tried holding the camera up high but it really scrunches up my jacket, LOL! Wow, these pics really show spots on the black felt. Honestly, it shows spots that aren't even there. I brushed the felt and it looks great, although there are some water spots on the ribbon.

A simple, modern, Stetson Downs for the birthday boy today, wearing a jacket with my new, dark burgundy (Bordeaux??? Syrah??? Touriga Nacional???) birthday shirt from MrsFed. It's the 28th anniversary of my 29th birthday!

Stetson Downs

Rockin the Stetson there today, BIRTHDAY BOY!! You're holding up well!!

Hey all!
Due to the appearance of a giant ball of burning gas (and not from the chili I ate last night) this Brent.

Have a great day!

Moe, that's one of those rare and best-of-the-best Brents, as on Ebay this week!!

You look great again, Michael. Aside from the color your hat looks an awful lot like my A. Breiter "Traveler" hat; mine is green.

Thanks Doug. This is a traveler of some sort. It is unlined and has a grosgrain sweat. I can barely make out Borsalino and Made in Italy on it. I don't remember your Breiter, have you posted it recently?

Great photos of your birthday outings yesterday.

Thanks Rodolfo. I'm not a big fan of hot weather, but all of those great looking straws you've been wearing lately almost have me in the mood for a bit of summer.

You are a true artist! Ever think of doing these as a "business". I'd pay good money for one of your conversions.
