"Lost" my ass, Rob. You know as well as I do, that that was a WONDERFUL half hour.You guys and your Champs... Just lost a half hour browsing the webs looking...
Great looking hats!
I like my Champ a lot, but it’s the only one I have.You guys and your Champs... Just lost a half hour browsing the webs looking...

Looking goodThe JBS Twenty-Five made it out for a quick shopping trip today. Unfortunately, by the time I made it back home, the stink in the hat and/or sweatband had become evident.
Anyway, I need to try the sweatband installation again - this is probably the messiest job I have ever seen. It’s actually pretty darn challenging to sew these things in (only my second attempt ever), and my hat is off to those Loungers who do so by hand with amazing skill (@Randall Renshaw I’m looking at you!).

This was my first day out in shorts as well. The Allen Edmonds loafers have become a mainstay of my wardrobe.

Interestingly enough I did see an Adam during my Champ searchYou might also find it educational (and fun) to look at the Adam thread
Wow!For the crazy winds and heavy rain we got this morning around 7:00 it’s sure turned into a fine day! View attachment 613011 View attachment 613012 View attachment 613013
Gorgeous, Don. Ghiaccio ("Ice") is the color, Gorasgu is the model. I know that only because @steur is always showing off samples from his amazing stock of that model!Wearing a Boaalino. Not sure of the model based on tag. This has a pretty damaged sweat so I took another part of a sweat I had sitting around and glue a piece to the back of this one just to ensure that it stays together.

Thanks Mark. It is a nice felt. Almost like one of my Marque Grand Luxe. I might change the ribbon out to a navy blue instead of black.Gorgeous, Don.

When watching barbecue videos on YouTube, I often wish it could transmit the aromas. Right now, I’m glad that technology is not available on my iPad, because this way, it just seems that you”ve got yourself a stunner of a hat. I’m sure it’ll get there eventually.The JBS Twenty-Five made it out for a quick shopping trip today (sans liner, which is still de-funkifying).

I too struggle with the cattleman’s crease. I do still. Have a Resistol with one, which often garners compliments, but I’ve changed the other one I had. I much prefer the new crease you’ve given it. Well done!Finally got tired enough of the Cattlemans Crease on my Open Road to do somethng about it. Got a bit more shaping to do but I like it way better already (20 yr old cattlemans crease was a bear to get out lol) View attachment 612975 View attachment 612976 View attachment 612977
That's a Borsalino Gorasgu, Don.Wearing a Boaalino. Not sure of the model based on tag. This has a pretty damaged sweat so I took another part of a sweat I had sitting around and glue a piece to the back of this one just to ensure that it stays together.

Thanks Gary, it slowly coming together.When watching barbecue videos on YouTube, I often wish it could transmit the aromas.

THAT would, IMO, look awesome!I might change the ribbon out to a navy blue instead of black.
Wow!

No sir, I am not looking for you to do it, I am just impressed by how well you do it. I hope you enjoy a bit more free time in the future and find joy in your passion. You deserve that (we all do).Thanks for thinking of me, Nathan, but I’ve got three hats I’m workin on right now that I’ve agreed to do. I’ll probably take a few hat repair jobs in the later future.
