Barbisio Titan - a tall crowned hat of very nice quality from the 1950s. Imported and sold from Wisconsin.

Hey all!

Thanks for the likes and kind words. Always appreciated.
Finally got around to converting this old no-name retailer branded Western that I picked up at a thrift store last October.

Loved the color, so I tried to mix a dye for the ribbon to match the felt. I think I got close. First pics show the shape of the hat better, but the last shows the actual color better.

I'm calling this one "The Mahoney Coney".
Crown 5 1/2" open, brim 2 3/8". Pounced off quite a bit of weight, but it's still a fairly thick felt.
The day is starting to warm up. May be another two-hatter!
Have a great day!
Nice work, Moe!

That wasn't you that snagged that "live" ball last night? Ugh!
No, not me! I'd like to think I have more sense than that. But, in the moment, when a real major league baseball is heading your way it may be easier than I think to forget to watch the ump to see if it was indeed foul. Crazy how excitable a scrap of leather and red laces can make people! :)
