What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Joao Encarnado]

Joao, Always sporting the nice Westerns! The Akubra looks nice.

Thanks. Akubras are nice hats.

It was cool enough this morning, but it's too warm now to wear this 4X Resistol Stagecoach conversion. John Galt did the original work on this but I did some minor tweaking to it....and I'll probably change out the ribbon again if I can come across a contasting darker brown, maybe even black, if need be, in an 1 1/2 width...

I think the ribbon color works nice.

TJones! Great conversion and great look! John Galt is about receive a western I'm having converted! Thanks for the recommendation! Pics forthcoming!

Nooooooooooooooo...
Don't overload John Galt. I'm still waiting....

Thank you all for the positive comments on Cane Rod Maker's hat.
The hat is actually black,the blue hue is an artefact of the cool daylight temperature.
Hmm..Blue hat,don't have one of those.Wonder if such a felt is available.
Great hats guys one and all.

If black cherry is available, why not blue? I would like to have a dark blue western or even a black cherry western.

Today I had to return to this Stagecoach. I do love the ribbon and matching binding. The day born grey and I was afraid it would pour some heavy rain but no, by lunch time a clear sky with a hot sun replaced the clouds.

Holland Hats have a number of Borsalinos that come in navy. I got a Bellagio a while ago and really like it. Bruce at Holland is a nice guy and goes out of his way to make sure you're happy. Prices are cool, too.

Winchester makes a dark blue felt that all the custom hat makers should have access to.

Here's my Tumwater, for example

Smashing Steve, that's one of the longest bows I've ever seen too. Nice shirt to compliment too. Nat Nast?

 

[NewJack]

Joao, not to worry. My conversion is very simple! . And it's not my blue Stagecoach!

As long it doesn't involve brim trimming...
I also have a hat John Galt is working... He is overloaded with hat work...
