Mark, Thank you!

Here lately I've been drawn to the large brim western style hats. Here's my latest addition to my collection, a Stetson Open Crown 4X Beaver with thin ribbon hatband and last drop liner. A previous owner added the rawhide wind strap with deer antler. I have a pencil curl tool on the way & will try it out on this hat once it arrives.
Hope y'all have a good 'un !

Another Sovereign Stetson Temple. This one in Caribou color. I LOVE the color, but this one needs some attention... its WAAAAY stiffer than my other Temples. I posted it in the "ASK A QUESTION" section for softening suggestions. Beautiful felt... just too stiff. Sigh... it looks good, and definately holds it s shape... maybe i should just wear the heck out of it lol

It is a beautiful hat, so I think that is the best option!

Finally! Been lookin for this Pre-Stetson Mallory for 5 years. Till now I haven’t found one in good condition in my size that was made pre-1947. This’n will do. lol

Also included a photo of my latest bread concoction. Been teaching myself to be a bread chef! As if I need extra belly rolls.

Nice looking hat, Rick!

I’ve tried many different ways, but the only way I’ve found to work is a full tear down and soaking the hat body in hot water for a good while. But then ya gotta reblock and sew it all back together, so, not a good method on a hat that doesn’t already need anything.

Im thinking this is going to be a "wear it" and "age" process. Ive wondered if a massager might vibrate things loose against crown or brim blocks Hummm?

Thanks, fellas!
Joe, does the tombstone mean older than mid 40s in dating?
