[FedOregon]

New? Please post more pix in the Dog Track thread? Love the colors.



Ha! I'm filing this one away to use against you later.

I'm sure Rodolfo will love it, too!

I dig how it's got that fedora shape, but with larger proportions. It suits you perfectly.

Thank you, AZ. My goal was to emulate the proportions of some tall crowned and wide brimmed hats I saw in several movies from the 1940s. My favorite era for fedoras. Your work is coming along nicely as well. Good stuff.

The wife had to go out of town for the weekend, so I'm batchin' it. Heading out to the local pub for some grub (fish, natch!). I figured a Playboy would be appropriate. [emoji41]

Excellent!

You sure do nice work. How much do you thin the felt?

Thank you, Michael. With the heavier weight western hats I work on, especially Resistols, I try to sand them down just enough to where I can get a nice sharp crease. I use a few different grits of sand paper and sanding sponges for removing material and then finer grits for a smooth and softer finish.

A hat from that other Philadelphia maker. Stratoliner inspired thin ribbon in an unusual mauve/gray with a very deeply scooped flange, fine felt and high quality construction. Union made in the mid 1940s.

I love that hat! Very nice!

Is that the Pony? Real nice one Joao

No, it's the Johnny Fry.
The Pony is darker (Pellet).

Happy Birthday Compadre !!!

A little craziness at Mazatlan.

Did the sombrero come with nachos on the brim?

LOL, we ate the nachos before the hat arrived!

Stevens OR clone today.
Was never sure if I could pull off a cattlemen crease. But I think I like it.
