I don't read the articles. I just look at the pictures.

Dammit man.....that hat's got it and you are rockin' it.
Stingy Dobbs Pork Pie with a back bow. Nice little front brim dip gives it a western feel.

A D'Aquino which I completely tore down, reblocked, and rebuilt.

Super job on the rebuild, Jim! Striking colors, too.
I’m finding out that with complete tear downs along with the use of a hat block and flanger comes many hours of hard work per hat.
I’ve got a full refurb Dalton under way right now, including a re-pounce. Only thing left completely alone will be the 1/2 binding featuring 4 rows of decorative stitching.
Well worth all the trouble since it will become part of my personal collection, but too much tedious work otherwise. Unless, this becomes a new career choice and my only source of income. These days I am giving it serious consideration.
House building in this humid summer heat is for younger folks.
Building hats are much easier—with air conditioning.
Great looking hat. Glad you were able to get it back in actionView attachment 256701 Taking my dad’s riding mower to get fixed under this totally rebuilt 50s fairly tightly woven Richman Brothers.
Because the old stitching rotted I had to resew the original leather sweatband together and then sew it back in the hat. The grosgrain hat band is from a 50s Mallory. View attachment 256700
