Love the rake on that Playboy, Jim. Hope you found some good antiques.

Just got back from work, and couldn’t wait to show y’all what I was doing yesterday while playing hooky from work...and life...
This hat business we all play here really is a disease. [emoji15][emoji2957]
So here’s my new old Cavanagh. I sewed in another sweat band, this one a cheapie, but I am proud to show you my first and probably last attempt at a shark gilled bow. Like Fruno said, making the thing isn’t too hard, it’s sewing it on that’s the trick! I think it turned out alright, but y’all can tell me the truth, I can take it.
I recently purchased three different colors of vintage ribbon from eBay and chose this color. The gray I got was too silver and the brown/red didn’t look right either. So I used the sandstone.

Randall, anyone who can build a guitar, sew in a new sweat in a hat, and then create a shark's gill bow just has to have my [emoji145] off respect. Nice job!

Okay, Stefan. That does it. Your Hanover has made me make up my mind to pick out one of my hats,with the right flange, and flip up the front. I love that hat!

Thanks, Steve. Means a lot coming from you. I’m just glad my dear Mother wasn’t standing nearby while I wrangled with the thing! She would’ve used soap... and a belt!
Thanks for the pm, as well. You have some super banjos, my friend! I’ll be writing you a reply soon.

Breaking in the newly acquired and customized Stetson Revenger today. I cut the brim down to 2-3/4”, pulled off the cheapo plastic fake leather band and did a Naphtha bath, then sanded it down with some 800 grit. It was a pain getting all the hot glue off from the hatband.

Good practice hat since it was just $14 on Goodwill. I borrowed a leather band from a BC Bush Hat for now till I decide on one.

Fabulous outfit again today, Michael. I imagine your house to be some sort of warehouse full of clothes, coats, hats and shoes to pick and choose these outfits from.

Thanks Stefan. I wish I had a warehouse.
