A much delayed trip to our favorite Hatter in Eugene today... I have not been able to drive long trips due to my back surgery, so a beautiful Ecuadorian straw has been waiting to be picked up. Now it will have to wait until spring for it's debut. Wearing my early 1950s Borsalino Featherweight (Via @moontheloon) for some show and tell with Mike Miller. Looking forward to the trip.
Yesterday was both disappointing and a relief of stress. The pins in my hand need more time to knit the fracture. There was some shattering of the bone, so I guess that is the reason. So I'm all trussed up until the 30th. Since they were just going to yank them out, I was kind of dreading this appointment.

Well, last night I stayed up late working on hats ... on a work day night! Payed for it today.
I’m converting a black Resistol western into either an Indie or more likely a fedora/Western blend. Cut the brim down, did a Roy Rogers shower reshape and now I have to sew on a black two inch ribbon and bow.
I also showered a Seventies ten X Stetson OR and put in a diamond crease. Man! Those late model cattleman’s creases are
Dang near impossible to turn, But finally got this steer to heal over!

Here’s a Champ fedora I wore today that I changed the ribbon on. The old one was thin, worn, sweat stained... and ugly. This new one inch ribbon and bow looks much nicer. I think it’s a sixties model.

Great colour, shape, ribbon, brim, and bash. The autumnal lighting was the perfect choice to highlight the qualies of that Gannon, Greg.

Wasn't that a Silverbelly until the BBQ accident?

Very nice, Greg! You even have a little ribbon showing on that one. Gannon does make great hat.

Channeling blue sky with a blue Stetson Bantam this morning. Glorious 38'f sunny morning here in Minnesota. I will need to break out some heavier wool jackets.
