Almost finished with this Resistol Westerner refurb and conversion. I have to find some matching 3/8 ribbon for the brim binding and to make up an OR style hat band. In the meantime, I'm wearing it with this temporary 2 ply thin ribbon that's not attached. I'll have more in the conversion corral later...

Redheads are always a blast, feisty, but a lot of fun. So furry!
Thanks Red. It's being a good cool weather bicycling companion this fall. I think it will see a lot more wear than will be posted here.

Cool hat, Michael. Pity about the staining on the ribbon.
Thanks Stefan. The staining on the ribbon is one of it's lesser problems. The sweat is rapidly nearing the point of total disintegration.

Barbisio Terranova yesterday. haven't decided yet for today.

Thanks all,
Michael

Love that Bat Masterson, this is my poor man's version I fixed up awhile back. It's a Baily western homburg with a 5 1/4" crown and 3" brim.

Good looking Bailey, Ken. I’d never heard of the Bat Masterson until I saw it on eBay. The hunt for new and different hats is part of the fun.

Nice color. That's what I like about Bailey. They offer a lot of different colors. Enjoy retirement. I've been retired for so long now if anyone asked me to work I would tell them to go to H*ll.:):)
Thanks I will. The colors are one reason I like the Baileys. That and the price.

Cool name. Beautiful hat with a great color Stefan.

Yes I generally do that on difficult hats. And just like that it’s more blue. But I don’t like having to do such things.

Sometimes Mother Nature's light needs a little help when viewed through a camera lens. Sure is a great color.

Westburg, I think this can be what we call them. I like this curl. A western hat I could get into.

This one is looks great, your specific style of crown and teardrop looks nice on this color.

Lazy Sunday, sticking with the Air Force Blue Worth & Worth.

Go Air Force! I didn't notice the similarity with the uniform color until you mentioned it. USAFWW!

A 60s sort of Stetson Sovereign this morning.

Opened up a tote of tweed sport coats today. Need to start getting a few wrinkles out.

Have a fine Sunday,

Only you could "open a tote of tweeds" Michael. That sentence just made me smile. Dig the brown color.

The other Frederick. In navy.
I'm really liking these hats. The fit is great (hard to find a 7-1/4 LO) and the styling fits my sense of propriety. I may get another in dark brown.

Great color on this one Fred.

Couldn't resist wearing the Lock & Co bowler I picked up yesterday.

Thank you, Mike. I'm glad you noticed that. I like to use that style of crown and crease, along with the pinch and dents specifically on my OR style conversions.
