You Rebel! Way to start the year with a bang John. Love this hat.Hey all!
A stunningly beautiful sunny gorgeous day here on the NorCal coast, and that's not just the newly legalized plant matter talking.
While we're talking about plant matter, this Parabuntal has a very fine weave, which makes the brim flap in just a light breeze. I had put a structurally strengthening curl in the brim by hand but it just looked a little off. Thank goodness for a Homburg flange to properly do the job I was intending to do before.
Breaking the rules...straw on New Years Day!
I'll probably have to switch to felt soon, but I'm enjoying it while I can.
Have a great New Year's Day, all!

Maybe this one has a teenager soul !!! If so it won't cooperate at all for a while !!!Chamuco, I have a BGG that I love! Came out of the box nice and pliable. Took the bash I wanted with no problem. This Silverbelly is not cooperating at all. I wanted to put a diamond bash in it but so far no go. I'm going to give it sometime to see if it will soften up a bit then go at it again. I'm using a tea kettle.

Can't believe how stiff this thing is. I used so much steam on this hat you would swear you were at a pipe fitters convention. Not the crease I wanted but apparently it's the crease the
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. A casual one for me as I am getting over the FLU.

going to celebrate with some theater friends, so the Huggy Bear Cavanagh lords hat is the most "festive" in the collection. I will be thinking of all of you and your great hats celebrating as well. This family and community means the world to me. So to each and every one of you, have a joyous new year. 2018 will be filled with great hats and camaraderie!

Wearing this Resistol Stagecoach conversion again today. I did a little tweaking to the pinch and made it tighter and I reflanged the brim again. I was trying to get a little closer to Alan Ladd's China hat. It has a nice tall straight crown with a 2 5/8 brim....here's the redo, (the picture of me wearing the hat is closer to the actual color).
