Lovely, Reggie. Glad to see the cat thinks so too!

Love that wide ribbon. It really makes that Bogart pop!



Pretty cool, Brent. I like the color and texture. It looks like Moleskine.



Portis in the rain. Too much! Stefan, your American vintage hat catalog, checks all the boxes. I love it.

Thanks, Reggie. There are still some left in the catalogue.

"Echter Nobleza Velour", possibly mid 1950s.

It's a brand I encounter now and again, Steve, but never ever in this quality! Wonderful.

Last day of sun and temperature above the maximum for the season. Tomorrow it will rain, so they say

Ahhh, I was hoping to see that one again. Thanks, Michael!

Borsalino Bismuto accompanied View attachment 269539 View attachment 269540 with mask and steamed up glasses.

To call it Borsalino's workhorse colour wouldn't do it justice, but it does always work! Nice one, Steve.

Headed home today after spending the holiday weekend in Encintas. Beautiful rental for an intimate beach wedding, so I brought the nicest felt I own for the occasion. Stetson 5x

Nice one. I like the patterned ribbon.

A hat I recently made for a friend. Pure rabbit adorned with gross grain ribbon bow, raven feather, and a hand carved bison bone raven skull.

Heading out to help someone with some wrangling so wearing my older Akubra with Crocodile foot band, which has been played with and refurbed. It was originally 62+ but I lost a massive amount of weight 2 years ago and it was way too big as I'm now only a 59.
Wife thought it was disgusting and wanted to throw it out, gave it one hell of a washing and shrunk the crap out of it, even got the Croc band shrunk down to size. I didn't think the hat would survive the clean and hot air gun lol but it came out a winner.

First time wearing it since I finished it a couple weeks ago. Still wondering about replacing the liner, will see how it fairs today. Going to be about 96 degrees out there.

The hat turned out well. Congratulations on the weight loss: I know how hard that is.

I hadn't seen the sun set for some time now, so I headed down to the South shore and paid my respects in my hemp Stratoliner.

Wow! Now that's a hat, Alan.

Thanks, I think I might make myself a hardwood open block to my size and redo it with less taper and a different bash. Be fun and a proper open block say a #52 maybe in my size would be very handy I imagine. I got a couple of old hats I could use to learn and practice on more, bugger think I found another rabbit hole! lol, well I have a lathe and massive bandsaw and not much excuse to not have a go.

As to weight loss, yeah was difficult for sure but life gave me no other choice so it's done. Last time I was this weight I was almost 12 years old, lost 61kg and am truely half the man I used to be. 4XL down to a 32/34 inch waist.

Gorgeous colour, love the lid and it looks stunning. My only gripe is the small ribbon, no idea what it is about thin ribbon with me but I'm not a huge fan.
