This French mystery sold by Maximes is the choice on a bored, broke post-Christmas Saturday afternoon mostly spent steaming hats.

I like the Quigley idea. Maybe something like this?
Yup. I like that crease.Miller Bros. Sterling Beaver (thanks Michael!)
Great looking hat, hard to believe some of your conversions are Stagecoaches. The video brought back memories, as Sha na na played at my high school grad night in 1974 at Disneyland.Another of my conversions this cold Saturday. This Stagecoach has been taken apart and converted by three different people with me being the last to work on it.
Some Sha Na Na. I used to watch these guys when they had their own variety on television back in the '70s
and this 7up commercial from the early '70s
Thanks RJR!Looks nice,I like the bow especially.
Thank you Desert dog. Stagecoaches are great hats to work with, as all Resistols are. Except, I make it a rule for myself now not to cut down a Stagecoach that has a 4 inch brim. I cut one down a while back that had a better than 4 inch brim and I'm still kicking myself over it. Those I'll leave Western and rework the crowns and reshape brims. I'd love to get my hands on Resistol's equivalent to Stetson's Big Country.Great looking hat, hard to believe some of your conversions are Stagecoaches.

Russian Ushanka in Muskrat from "Fur Hat World". With temps in the single digits and windchill in the minus 20 range and had to go to extremes to protect my haid.

Sorry to hear this Wes. Hope you find comfort in his memory. It is sad, but we all have our "funeral" hats.And absolutely frigid day, literally and figuratively. -5 outside. Went to a funeral today for one of my oldest and closest friends who was taken on Christmas in a senseless act of violence.
Some things I'll never understand. I wore a 60s Bee today.

I caught this one on the other thread, really like it. Looks good against the elements.Nora-Hüte (Vienna) probably early 1950s maybe earlier and a recent arrival. Nora-Hüte was most likely a shop and there are no other company marks present.
