Yet another wonderful Italian parade, Stefan. I just love the colour and ribbon on the Linea. Not often you see a Borsalino like that.

A very dark, damp, and cold day in my part of the world. To cheer me up, I wore my @Randall Renshaw Adam Majestic conversion with Randall's wonderful bow treatment. Who says black hats are boring?
Have a good weekend folks.

A Gannon hat is always appropriate and top-shelf, and those shoes are spectacular. No pun intended. I would love to see the entire ensemble.
Eric, I always enjoy seeing your varied and extensive Whippet collection.I try hard to never be a spectator to the day!
Walkabout in a Stetson Whippet.
Grilling a chorizo sausage to make into breakfast burritos while wearing a different Whippet.
I hope your breakfast is tasty! Cheers, Eric -

Very cool Charlie. And this one seems to have the opposite binding pattern to Eric’s whippet having a wider binding on the bottom than the top.

Looks great. Randall did a nice job on that one.

Thanks, Joe!
The binding is out of the ordinary, although a few similar have been posted. The dusty rose trim was a thing for a short time, and I’m still not 100% sure this wasn’t previously a homburg.

I was wearing a Stetson Bantam for a morning dog soiree.
Cheers, Eric -
Lightweight, unlined, the color, and vented: so much to like with this hat.

Spectacular, Charlie. I’ve always liked that color of binding, it sounds like it wouldn’t work but when you see it: WOW!

Now you have piqued my interest for tomorrow, Charlie, because that superb Royal Stetson is hard to beat.
Looks like you've got the feel of it to me, Reggie.
Gorgeous hat, wonderful colour, nice choice of outfit (as usual). Cudos!

Thanks, Reggie. @Randall Renshaw is a master when it comes to conversions, ribbon/bow treatment, and innovative sweat stitching work.

Thank's Joe. The hat is very well made. Mikael Einarsson has an artist's flair for hat-making and really appears to take the craft seriously. The stitching, bow work, and attention to detail are evident. The 50x beaver felt is what I would consider medium weight and is certainly malleable as I had to lower the crown some from its original configuration. It has a dimensional brim 2 5/8 front to back and 2 3/8 on the sides and has a nice feel and snap. It's a fun hat.

Thanks a whole lot, Steve and @Dlaniger and @Blare .
I still view myself as a student.
No doubt a student who has learned a lot over the last year.
I’m now learning a lot about dyeing vintage grosgrain.
Mixing dye colors on vintage ribbon that already has a light hue of some color you’re trying to change is like voodoo alchemy!
Wish I could find a source for good new ribbon having the same workable properties as the vintage stuff.
I’ve visited Hufvud’s hat site and was impressed with the look of quality work and the use of artistic flair.
It’s satisfying to find out that while in hand their quality is just as good.
Thanks, Reggie.
