What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Hagwood]

Alley Kat Hat Company / Baby Beach

I picked up this black cherry beaver felt from @LuvMyMan. Very soft lightweight felt with a nice wide brim, and big open crown. I like!

Stetson Flagship today.

 

[Rmccamey]

Nice job. Looking good brother!

Breaking in the newly acquired and customized Stetson Revenger today. I cut the brim down to 2-3/4”, pulled off the cheapo plastic fake leather band and did a Naphtha bath, then sanded it down with some 800 grit. It was a pain getting all the hot glue off from the hatband.

Good practice hat since it was just $14 on Goodwill. I borrowed a leather band from a BC Bush Hat for now till I decide on one.

Just got back from work, and couldn’t wait to show y’all what I was doing yesterday while playing hooky from work...and life...
This hat business we all play here really is a disease. [emoji15][emoji2957]
So here’s my new old Cavanagh. I sewed in another sweat band, this one a cheapie, but I am proud to show you my first and probably last attempt at a shark gilled bow. Like Fruno said, making the thing isn’t too hard, it’s sewing it on that’s the trick! I think it turned out alright, but y’all can tell me the truth, I can take it.
I recently purchased three different colors of vintage ribbon from eBay and chose this color. The gray I got was too silver and the brown/red didn’t look right either. So I used the sandstone.

Stetson 3X while picking up a new toy (well ... they did the picking up).

I hate to ask, Bob, but what the heck is that?

Love that color.

What’s tonight’s movie ?

My wife wanted to see the latest Terminator movie... I don't think she's picked the movie once in 12 years, so I agreed. I think I would have preferred the Ford/Ferrari movie.

Yeah, Ford vs Ferrari looks great. Good cast too. I have a hot rod Mustang, so I’m looking forward to seeing it.

Gotta take turns though, so enjoy !!

Reggie -- it's a 1951 Oliver 159-A wood lathe. I can use it to make hat stands (among other things). Probably around 700 pounds so the assist was appreciated. Now to get if off the truck...

I stole that pic just to show the potential of the machine. Not sure how long it will take the operator to get to that point. Those are available on Etsy.

That Agnoulita is great, which model is it?

 

[GHT]

Fawcett "Black" Friday!

That's a great combination, Harley sell some good looking shirts, and you've teamed your's with a great "Black Friday Hat." I love it. You have inspired me, but it's cold out so the biker leather will go on before I venture out.

Thanks Marcel!

It's a custom made one but I think after ordering Mr P added it to his listings as Howitzer or something. Anyways I have made a review of it including colors, dimensions etc on the Agnoulita thread.
