Hey all!
A stunningly beautiful sunny gorgeous day here on the NorCal coast, and that's not just the newly legalized plant matter talking.
While we're talking about plant matter, this Parabuntal has a very fine weave, which makes the brim flap in just a light breeze. I had put a structurally strengthening curl in the brim by hand but it just looked a little off. Thank goodness for a Homburg flange to properly do the job I was intending to do before.
Breaking the rules...straw on New Years Day!

I'll probably have to switch to felt soon, but I'm enjoying it while I can.
Have a great New Year's Day, all!

Chamuco, I have a BGG that I love! Came out of the box nice and pliable. Took the bash I wanted with no problem. This Silverbelly is not cooperating at all. I wanted to put a diamond bash in it but so far no go. I'm going to give it sometime to see if it will soften up a bit then go at it again. I'm using a tea kettle.
Maybe this one has a teenager soul !!! If so it won't cooperate at all for a while !!!

Good luck and Happy New Year!

Can't believe how stiff this thing is. I used so much steam on this hat you would swear you were at a pipe fitters convention. Not the crease I wanted but apparently it's the crease the
Wishing everyone a Happy New Year. A casual one for me as I am getting over the FLU.

Been getting into british knitwear lately so haven't been on the hat threads in awhile.

A tip of the hat " Chip Chip ol Pal " to all of you.

Wearing this Resistol Stagecoach conversion again today. I did a little tweaking to the pinch and made it tighter and I reflanged the brim again. I was trying to get a little closer to Alan Ladd's China hat. It has a nice tall straight crown with a 2 5/8 brim....here's the redo, (the picture of me wearing the hat is closer to the actual color).

Looks very good. The crown ht and pinch, the brim width. Beautiful work.
