Two hats I got the time to clean up today. They had belonged to an older rancher in the mid west. Really happy with how well they cleaned up.

More on these hats in the Post New Hats. And Western threads.

I hope you can take a little humor, Joe, but that photo of you wearing the OR clone with your head bent down showing the top looked like the “crowning” stage of a hat giving birth to a cute, tiny cattleman’s crease baby western.
Definitely another unique crown for you. You sure cleaned them both up nicely! I like that silver hat band.

Killer hat! Dig the shape!
The hat band maybe just a little...constricting?

I see what you did there.

 

[NewJack]

Stetson Pure Beaver 'True Blue.' Nice hand. Updated crown, which is a bit heavier than the brim. A throwback liner, what feels like a sheepskin liner, Last Drop throwback liner.

I know what I will be wearing! My new Gannon...1930’s Capone! Looking for the grey pinstripe suit now...

ROFL!!!!! Wow. If I could just reproduce a bunch of old felt hats. PUSH! PUSH!

Quite fine indeed

I wore my Habig to work again, but it has been frustrating me. It’s just a little big for me. Every time I put paper or sizing tape, I think I’ve got it right...then it decides otherwise. I came to the conclusion that for a hat with a moderate crown, the center dent was too deep for my cone-head. So tonight, I finally took the plunge and reshaped a crown for the first time.
Before: View attachment 277984
After:

An attempt to widen the dent and create a teardrop with a bump for the cone-head. I also tightened up the pinches. It seems good so far. I’m feeling optimistic, but we’ll have to wait and see.

Nice job.


Buy a spray bottle at a 100 yen store, fill it with water, and drench the leather and surrounding areas in spray, including the back side of the leather. Repeat three times, after letting it dry naturally. You will have a perfect fit. Believe me, patience, and it works to downsize a leather sweatband hat...

Wow, Doc! Is the ribbon really the color in the photos? I like it, and I really like the change to the crown.

Wearing my 40s Stetson Sovereign. This is the hat on which I redid the ribbon and it was the identical color and size of the original. Huge stroke of luck.

Grey pinstripe, blue blazer, casual blazer, Baracuta, denim jacket or even a modern Patagonia jacket that hat will look swell! I love the 9 gilled hat. The sweat is a treat to look at.

Congrats to you and Michael for teaming up on a glorious hat.

Surveying the ranch, Brent?

I wish. The owners won’t even give me right to trespass. Good turkey and deer hunting, and the occasional pig.
