What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Hurricane Jack]

Still in western mode. Stetson No. 1 Quality.

Looks like a perfect hat for the day, Bob. Plenty of weather protection.

I'll be right over! Break out your Whiskey Gannon for me! (the twisted knot on your Whiskey lid is to die for, Ant!)

Holy smokes!
Look at you! Thats good work. I've seen hats by people that make them way longer than you have that are less nice by miles.

That means a LOT coming from you, the mistress of Millinery! Thank you so much.

I'm afraid I'm getting the same bug... eek!

It's best not to fight it. Just try to control its potency =)

Whooeeeeee! That's a nice one, Bob!

Thanks guys! (And thanks Michael R. for gifting me the hat!!)

It's still hot over here, but I wanted to take blue monkey creation #2 out for a spin! The felt is Czech rabbit by way of ManHatCo in NY; the leather and lining is from lounger @bond .

My personal critique -- I need to block these with higher, straighter crowns -- I find that my current block doesn't provide enough slack to get really creative with the crease sculpting. Still - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!

Super, super job on that hat. It looks fantastic.

Thank you so much, guys! You're compliments are feeding the beast!!! I already can't wait to start on the next one -- Applying lessons learned on the previous two should cut down on production time =)

 

[Bob Roberts]

Thanks, guys!! Already have three more felt blanks shipping my way -- practice makes perfect!!

Super!

What happened to Spring? It's winter again! Last week I broke out the lawn mower and gave it a whirl and this afternoon I was shoveling a little bit of snow off the driveway! Typical March weather around here! A lot of great looking lids on display, though. I'm really envious of the fine collections. Once again, I'm wearing my latest Resistol Tallboy conversion in Silverbelly on this cold evening...I still have some pics that I plan to post of this hat in the conversion corral sometime this week

Meanwhile, some Jerry Lee Lewis...

I love the look of that tall crown paired with the thin ribbon.

That is one great hat Rodolfo, you wear it well. I am liking the natural color more and more.

It's a beautiful hat my friend

Just re-re-reribboned the Borsalino Colombo (from felt-belt to 1/2" bone ribbon to 1/2" brown ribbon to this) so now I'm wearing it to my niece's first softball practice of the season. She likes to be cheered on even in practice, so we all oblige.

Go team go!
