That’s a nice one Bob! Love that flat wide brim.

Excellent job on that one Terry!Wearing my latest Western refurb project, 4X Resistol in tan. I sized up this small Western from a 6 7/8 to a 7 1/4 on a custom block by Randal Alan. The hat originally had a 4 inch brim width but I had to sacrifice that with the size up. I was able to trim it to a 3 1/2 brim, though. It also sports a new 1/2 ribbon with an OR style bow, and obviously, a new sweat. I'll have more later in the Conversion Corral...

My review for Randal Alan's block....I'm very happy with it. He nailed the profile and the measurements I wanted, perfectly.
After my wife's brother passed away in December we inherited his cat. She's become my shadow and follows me everywhere...
I'll have more later in the Conversion Corral.....
Nice one.
Now that's a cool one Bob. Did you add the hatband, or did you get it like that ?
Great look Bob.

Thank you, Rick!...and thanks for the heads up on Randal Alan. I just posted more results in the Conversion Corral with my assessment of Randal's block.Excellent job on that one Terry!

When I saw his post about the hat I had messaged him to see what he wanted for it. I figured it would be too rich for my blood and thinking it might be perfect for you Tim. When he said he was sending it my way my jaw hit the floor. Truly blown away.Fantastic ! Those Mac's are hard to come by, even under a different name. Very nice of you Brent !
Thanks Tim. They are a nice hat. Your Borsalino today is one super sweet hat. Dang.Nice one Michael. Gotta love those Knox Twenty's !
Yes, it is a cool one. I was happy to find this a couple of years ago. It came with the traditional ranger hat peak creases, but I prefer it open crown.Now that is cool Michael, coming from someone who loves the National Parks. Love that hatband.
Extra Extra Superiore. Is that like having a volume knob that goes to 11?
I can’t find a translation for Ecosan, Tim, but it must mean perfect because it is.The Dutch Connection Borsalino Ecosan Extra Extra Superiore on a gloomy morning.

J. Hückel´s Söhne "Flexible" possibly later 1920s early 1930s. This one is in great condition and has some fantastic elements.
Tim, Thank you! They do create and interesting effect.Those are some cool cut-outs in the sweatband. Can't say I've ever seen that.
The color of the felt and that band are a perfect match.Whippet out Wednesday they said. So I did. Foggy, drizzly day but still got five miles in. Hope everyone is well. View attachment 216194 View attachment 216195
