Speaking of exchanges, this P.C. Habig Wien courtesy of Stefan got the nod this morning:

Trying to make a point to wear hats that don't end up in the regular rotation through no fault of their own. I only have myself to blame.

I had to chime in too, Jonathan. Wonderful hat! Light gray with original Burgundy Ribbon?
It's a real beauty.

Escapades to the butcher store was taken wearing a pre-40's Borsolino mid-day.

I took an evening walkabout in a Knox Dallas.

I dropped some food on the above brim. After cleaning and sitting the hat to dry on a block, I switched to a Gannon Wanderer.

The granite beaver felt changes colors in the different lights. Tonight it is gray-brown.

View attachment 372624 Couldn’t locate the, “What block are you showing off today” thread, so I suppose I’ll have to stick it here.

Though this one turned out fine, don’t believe I’ll be making another one and will be happy to pay full price for the ready mades!
It’ll get another sanding and another coat of sky blue, then straight to work on a good friend’s Schoble.

7 1/8 block.
5 5/8” tall. 8” X 6 5/16” at the base.
Since the block needs to be a bit bigger than the finished hat it should be just right.

Got 3 blocks, now I need to buy at least two more flanges. View attachment 372625
Nice job

Thanks, Alan
Lots of work, but at least a person building their own can design the block to personal preference.
This one has only a bit of taper in front, but a bit more taper in the rear so when the slanting center crease goes in it won’t push out reverse taper in the back.
The sides have very, very little taper.
Its overall shape is #52

Today I worked in the tide of hair that has reached Verona in recent weeks.

Putting in order and classifying, photographing and putting back in the boxes, the work has been going on since this morning.

A friend asked me, it was slightly ironic, to wear the Borsalino Panna. Here he is satisfied :)

His was a question to try to see if a 58cm Alexandria really fit on my head. There it is!

There is no trick and there is no deception, just the fun of wearing a very special hat.
Nice, but not for me. Anyone interested write to me

Nice Monday to everyone
