What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[ChewingWax]

Just received a Temple in LT. Grey and it has the same fuzzies around the brim. Looked on the Stetson website and you can pick out the same fuzzies. And then I go to other hat shops and can definitely see a clean edge on the Temple’s pictures. So newer hats getting lowered finishing standards? I’m just going to sand mine out. The hat fits perfectly and I don’t want risk losing that fit.

Yeh. I called, they sent me a replacement with the same fuzzies at which point I decided I don’t care. And the second one fit better so there’s that. Thanks.

Hard to believe those are the same hat. If mine today were any smaller. That’s how it would look on me.

It definitely made a transformation. The pictures really don't do justice to the hat. It's one of the nicest looking hats I have, and one of my favorites.

I'm wearing this 6 5/8 No.1 Quality Stetson Western today, (except that I converted it to a 7 1/4 LO fedora). It sports a tall straight crown that's creased to a Tear Drop with a 2 3/4 snap brim. I scavenged the 6 ply mid-ribbon from a size 7 Byer Rolnick Western. The bow work and ribbon was all one piece. I had to wet it down to stretch an extra 1 1/2 out of it. The picture of me wearing the hat before I converted it is closer to the actual color.

That’s absolutely amazing, great job!

I love your conversions, this one is especially great!

I love your conversions, this one is especially great!

Thank you buddy! I appreciate that! I wish I could get better pictures of this hat. It turned out to be one of my favorites, and one of the best looking in my collection.

Today, on the Ides of March, I wore a pug ribboned Dobbs during a morning walkabout.

Once home I changed hats, Gannon Playboy, and enjoyed some coffee outside.

Cheers, Eric -

Awesome. I haven’t had a Knox Vagabond in hand. I wonder if they were essentially the Dobbs Cross Country.

Very cool Dobbs Rainbow. And of course the Gannon is a work of art.

So I got curious about the Temple fuzzy edges and found a video from Kevin at Hats & Guitars on different edges for fedoras using Stetsons for examples from 4 years ago. Looks like fuzzy edges have been around for a while.

Have you sanded the fuzzy edge yet?

Not yet.

Very similar concept, for sure. Nothing special, just an affordable and lightweight hat.

Nice new Agnoulita, Brent. Does it have a name? Great colour, too.

The liner is so true and well deserved. You've supported and given constructive critical feedback to Mr. P from the go.

I think it's fair to say, he upped his game thanks to you.

It’s called The Caribou, but I customized it.
