Been at home sick with the Flu, so no hat pics for me, but I’m enjoying seeing everyone else's wonderful hats the last few days.
Get well soon, Tim!

Excellent job on that conversion man. Looks fantastic. You wear it well.View attachment 214760 Going out of town again to measure yet another floor job. 50s Stetson homburg conversion.

Oooooh, that’s purdy
The only real hard part is resewing the binding back on, as you have to take it off to do the conversion correctly. Straightening out the brim with a steam iron, while not ruining the flange isn’t hard, but you could easily mess it up if done without care and a little bit of know how. Then, if the brim has an elliptical cut you must scissor off the brim to equidistant measurements all the way round.Very nice conversion. I'm always amazed at those Homburg conversions, they seem hard to do.
Nobody wears Westerns like you do Bob. Excellent!
That sure is a lot of X’s. Very nice Bob!
Ps, Bob; I'm only counting 99 X's
I knew you were a closet oil tycoon Bob, I knew it.

Nice Knox Hector. What color is the ribbon ? It looks burgundy on my screen. I have some Burgundy on order that I want to use on something.

I hope you are feeling better. The flu really stinks.Been at home sick with the Flu, so no hat pics for me, but I’m enjoying seeing everyone else's wonderful hats the last few days.
I've purchased a number of hats from intrepid thrifter Spencer Stewart over the years. I think this old Bulgarian sold nutria fur Barbisio is my favorite. It remains one of my favorite hats to wear.
Wow. With the quality/quantity pool of antique vintage hats you could probably backstroke in, like Scrooge McDuck through his vault of gold coins, your opinion of that particular hat is...saying a lot!I've purchased a number of hats from intrepid thrifter Spencer Stewart over the years.

That’s a great find and color.Parkleigh that I recently found at a local thrift shop
