[ManofKent]

Andy - I like the volume on that one

Jeff - enjoy the break. Looks a good vacation hat.

Charlie - I love the ribbon.

Miami - nice hat and tie!

Joao - I'd be tempted to lower the brim, but it balances the tall crown up...

Alan - Nice use of checks!

Ole - beautiful hat and scenic shots

Akubra Fed IV today

 

[T Jones]

Good warm and sunny afternoon from Central Ohio Gents! All you guys look great as usual!

Charlie, Morning coffee and wearing a nice looking straw! Life doesn't get any better!
Miamibruno, The Borso looks great! But man! That tie is awesome though!
Joao, I'm not much for black fedoras, but I do like some black westerns though. That 3X Resistol looks darn good on you.
Ole, I really like that Blue Whippet style hat! That looks really good! Nice pics of the scenery too!
Richard, casechopper, Two nice Feds. The three of us must have posted at the same time...

I'm wearing my most recent conversion this afternoon. This is a more recent 1980s vintage 4X OR that I reblocked. I also replaced the original crappy bonded leather sweatband with a Roan leather sweat. The vintage faux 6 ply mid-ribbon is a medium brown color with what looks to be an olive green undertone. I did a simple ribbon treatment on this one with just a loop and short tail, no bow. I also hid the stitching under the loop and tail...more pics in the Conversion Corral...thanks Ole and John Galt...

MAD plaid!! Nuff said. Except that I really like your NEW hat, Alan.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks Charlie and Ole... it feels weird to wear a hat that others have not worn before me. But I'm getting used to it. ;^)

 

[Miamibruno]

Alan - Great cap. You really can wear anything. I look like a thug in them.

TJones - Awesome reblock. The felt looks so soft on that hat. I love the ribbon treatment, too. Well done.

Dane - The whole thing works. Very cool.

Richard - That bloke is wearing a very nice hat. I really like the Akubra Stylemaster. I keep looking for a vintage one, but I'm going to have to be patient.

casechopper - You ARE the man in charge.

Joao - I still think you need to call Ripley's Believe it or Not. The most brim space in any hat collection in the world. You'd be a hands down winner!

Looks good TJ
Great looking hat and scenic evening Richard. Thanks for sharing that.
Also a nice fed Case. And cool boots.
Herre Dane thank you as well for sharing a glimpse of your corner of the world. And your world class Stetson.
Killer cap Alan
Awesome Resistol Joao. Classic!!
Fantastic hat and tie MB, as usual. I'd love to see some up close of your awesome tie collection some time. There's a thread you know. Hint,hint
Absolutely top notch straws all around h-R-m, B-man & DJH.
Also a killer cap O.G.

In the kitchen cooking up some gumbo in a straw hat myself. This one came from a boot store and was once labeled Justin, I think, before I sweated all the gold writing out of it. But since Justin makes boots, not hats, it's anybody's guess where it really came from.

Lower how? The sides?

Pleasant view without odd bloke

That reminds me of Kyleakin. Very nice village on Isle of Skye.

Joao, I'm not much for black fedoras, but I do like some black westerns though. That 3X Resistol looks darn good on you.

I do know you don't like black hats, but thank you.

It looks nice, but I think a little more brim wouldn't hurt.

There is no such TV program here. There must be larger western hat collections larger than mine. Alan's collection would be one.

Awesome Resistol Joao. Classic!!

Thank you.

It's like Sheppler's hats, clothing... you name it. Looks nice but I would change the brim.

Sweet TJones! Real sweet!

 

[John Galt]

TJ, I really like the Panama you are working in. Hold out until you get my care package, I've got an orangish OR style ribbon that would look great with it.

 

[Zombie_61]

You Gents are disappointing. I keep waiting for someone to post an ugly hat in this thread, and no one has! I guess I'll have to look elsewhere, 'cuz there's too much good taste here! Anyway...

...Note to myself: On a sunny day 2-3/8" brim is not enough for that nose!...

Check my avatar. A 2-3/4" brim doesn't quite do the job either. But it looks soooooooooooooo good on you!

...I did a simple ribbon treatment on this one with just a loop and short tail, no bow. I also hid the stitching under the loop and tail...

That ribbon treatment is sharp! I always say, "Keep it simple and you can't go wrong," and you've proven me correct. And, yes, I know it only looks simple--nice clean work!

High sides rock!

When you wear 'em they do! :rockon:

I knew someone here likes high sides
