SHUFFLED off to...
Been a long time since I posted. Thought I'd show off my East Coast look, now that we've moved. For some reason, in the East I can pull off wider brims/higher crowns that I did when living in Cali. Go figure!

Borso beater I've been living in for weeks now.

Just got this Stetson Imperial back from Art who flanged the brim and did a light cleaning. I went with a Hollywood brim which works quite will with this thin, pliable felt.

Go Redhawks2! That is a great look; from Connery to Capone!

It's a 'welded seam' meaning it's taped from behind. Oh, and this evening as I was fiddling with the hat and checking under the sweat band I noticed that this is one of those types that is buttoned into the hat. Five wafer thin buttons inside the crown attach through eyelets in material behind the sweat band. I guess this facilitates removal so the hat can be more easily rolled. Maybe Warner & Co. was the maker of this gimmick and not of the hat itself.

I haven't heard of the button sweat before. Thats a novelty!

Whew!!!

Got some work to do here at home so will be wearing the reclaimed Smithbilt western and when I head to the city later will switch to the stretched Akubra Stockman.
All I can say about the postings over the last few days is "Whew!!!", every one's a winner! To start and individually comment I would be here all day and fill a full page!

Jimmy, that is INCREDIBLE! That ribbon is really black; what a standout! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Mr. P, Mario, Sue -- many thanks for the nice comments! Mr. P, you're right, the ribbon really is a jet black against what I would describe as a taupe felt.

Cheers,
JtL
