When this '50s Royal Stetson came to me a couple months ago, it arrived with a very mushy open crown. I decided that I needed to have it reblocked and set it aside.

Last night I tried to steam it to see if I could get it to behave. I just couldn't get it right. There is a photo of the awful results below.

I wore the hat when I met with a friend last evening all the while fidgeting with it and apologizing to my friend for my inability to stop obsessing over it. He agreed that despite my every effort, something was off. Eventually, I stopped trying to force the felt and just started to let it go where it naturally wanted to go.

It is now obvious why a tear drop and center dent would not work. It's been a pork pie for a long, long time.

Really pretty blues and reds in the felt.

Have the great Friday.

Can't go wrong with an OR, @javadave!

"More bongo"... Truer words are seldomly spoken. EVERYBODY NEEDS MORE BONGO!

And come to think of it, I am getting somewhat tired of my current bongo assortment. And that one in the front middle... well... he's an insensitive, self-righteous jerk. (Just look at that smug, self-satisfied expression on his face!!!)

This weekend, I'm headed down to Bongo Depot to rotate my supply and maybe pick up a few more.

Bongo fury?

Can't go wrong with a Gannon, either.

Wow! What a great finish. It has a porkpie legacy but looks good with a pinch and rake too. Neat hat.

I was all set to jump on the silverbelly OR bandwagon with the Daves, but then I saw that porky of Matts with the pink infused ribbon. Don't seem to be able to make up my mind now which heathered hat to go with. A Pilgrim that was a gift from that upstanding gentleman and noted propane line repairman, Bob Hufford,
