What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Rmccamey]

Thanks Randall.

A great hat you have there and a very nice old Case. I'll have to dig out my old ones.

Gonna have to change that to 11:1 now, Randy!
Awesome vented bowler!

Early 40s melusine Stetson and a 1978 Case trapper knife that I added a scale/handle yesterday.
I recently bought the knife for $28 missing a handle on one side and figured I could make one out of JB Weld. I did the “jigging” using the side of a Dremel tool and small round bit.
Then dyed it brown with Rit dye and sealed with lacquer.
Oddly, as far as a cursory research, Case has commemorated every thing, famous person, company and historical event that ever existed—except Stetson hats; which I found puzzling.
So, I took the matter upon myself and embedded this gold Stetson hat pin.
In the last photo you can see the factory handle for comparison. View attachment 583357 View attachment 583358 View attachment 583357 View attachment 583358

Thanks, Randy!
Yes, I’d love to see them old slip joints!
I use my knives a good bit doing hat restoration, so there’s some correlation.

A morning walkaout in a Gannon Wanderer (silverbelly).

A Gannon Wanderer was a perfect choice for morning coffee.

Cheers, Eric -

Lovely job - I saw the photo first, didn't twig at all that you'd added the side cover and the Stetson logo. Looks great!

Unlike Charlie and LC, the cold doesn’t sit too well with me, so I've been hunkered down during the deep freeze. It's been gloomier than a Dickens novel here.

Finally took a decen walk today with my dog and a Dalton. We're both better off for it.

The past couple of days have been warm, but I keep waiting for Dracula to form out of the mist.

Portis Sterling “The New Slant”. There will be more drops of rain on it before the day is out.

Thanks Steve!
I especially appreciate the compliment as I did the ribbon work myself!

Nice job, John. Cudos!

Thanks, Edward!
Nice to know I may have the only Case on the planet commemorating the only real things that matter in this life.

At last, temperatures above zero, so able to put away my woolly hats pulled down over the ears.

Wegener Colonel Homburg for today's outing.

Wow. That is quite a brim!

Today I ran some errands wearing a Royal Stetson Bantam.

Temperature had warmed up, but fog is setting in.

The photo exaggerates it some, but it was 4 1/2 inches before they took a bit to put the pencil curl on it.
