If you can't find a Whippet, make your own version of one. This is a Melton that I converted. It seems to be a more "recent vintage". Not the best felt, but still decent. It was a nice little project and I like its new profile. I reblocked it on my RA block. Afterward, I popped a teardrop crease in the crown , slapped on a new ribbon, and threw a new sweat in it, and voila...

Off the block. Brim trimmed. Ready to put together:

Some of us who are old enough remember Sha Na Na

Me and the wife way back when. We were both 20 here. No hat, no beard.
