Beautiful hat, great color. Love the contrast between felt and ribbon!

Mike did a super job on that Aristocrat Doug. Love the color, I assume it is a darker brown, kinda looks purple on my monitor.


OK, this is my new favorite of your conversions Terry. Love the tone of blue. You are an inspiration.

Pet, pet, pet, fondle.


Another spectacular bow from Mike. Filing it away to steal at a future moment.


Yay! Think I'll unbox mine to wear tomorrow. Or maybe on Whippet Wednesday.


That VS is a winner Bill.


Haven't seen this one in a while. Really love the classic lines.


Great one Karl. Cool to have a native Dutch brand.


Such a nice finish in the daylight Stefan. An American trade?

Mike, thanks. It is. Traded this one with Richard (Morgan).

Beautiful hat, beautifully worn, beautifully photographed.

Alan, thanks. I really appreciate that.

Almost finished with this Navy Blue 3X Resistol conversion. This is the hat that Michael R gifted to me. It started out as a Western. I'm reusing all that I can that was original to the hat. I just finished the brim binding. The hat ribbon isn't sewn on yet. I want to see if I can clean it up a bit first. But, this is what I have so far...

Merely "nice" as a Western, but wonderful as a Fedora. I'm not normally drawn to blue hats, but I'd wear that one happily. Strong work Sir!

A long walk in a heavy drizzle left hat and coat quite moist. So, Navy issue all-weather coat and this French mystery hat sold by Maximes makes it's way to the store with me to pick up the coffee and ice cream I forgot the first time out.

That is a super looking hat Terry. Fantastic job. A1 all the way. The nutria looks great too. You've really got this down now.

Thanks Red. Glad I can provide a treat. Hats are to be worn. Good thing I can rotate thru them so that they do not wear out before their time. A half century ago folks must have gone thru a couple of hats a day with all of their physical efforts.



Thanks Doug.

A nod to both of you and Fruno's recent pics of the natural beaver felt hats of late. The pics have has me reaching for a similar felt for an errand to pick-up chain saw lube and bird seed.

Ahhhh, natural.

Best, Eric -

I love your Gannon natural! It was a real fight in my mind to decide whether I wanted to go with your shark gills or the frayed bow in slate; seriously.

I was in the queue for a Gannon dark moss as I sold my too-small-for-me The Penman in moss here on the FL and was missing that felt in my stable (still am!) and then saw the natural hats you and @Frunobulax got from Michael... and switched to natural while Michael was waiting for a new order of dark moss hat bodies.

Gorgeous looking Homburg sir! Very fine indeed

Thank you Jeremy!

Classic and beautiful. Love it, John.

Thanks Stefan!

Thanks Red! I need to wear it more often.

Wow! Where did you come up with a presidential hat? Did you steal it from the Ronnie Library? Looks better on you than him I'm sure.

Thanks, Mike, it's a reddish brown with a copper-to-rust colored ribbon.

Didn't get these shots processed this morning. Wore my Knox-O-Liner to church this morning. Maybe even tomorrow too. Love this hat, need to tweak the back of the brim though, too much up-sweep.

Fantastic hat, Red! Major coveting on this one!

Ok, that's just completely awesome, amigo! If you EVER think of letting it go, then please let me know!

A lotta great looking lids on display. Everyone's looking dapper this wet and overcast Sunday afternoon, at least here in the Central part of Ohio. Wearing a recreased Stetson Nutria conversion, a gift from a Lounger, while I finish up the blue Resistol.

A little bit of Conway...

Great looking hat and excellent colors.

That is stunning, I can't believe how nice that is. I am a big fan of Resistol westerns and especially the red liner years. I was not sure about converting a Pendleton, but you have really done this hat justice! The color is actually prettier on it as a fedora. You went above and beyond with this one! Keeping the original parts is great, and retains a certain credibility.
