Finally got my new ribbon on the Cavanagh Homburg. Had a heck of a time getting the right ribbon. First I got 1” instead of 2”, then I got Petersham instead of finished edge. It is good vintage stock though and I think it turned out pretty good. Copied the bow style from the original one that was falling apart.

Nice choice, Tim. Super looking wide ribbon.

@AbbaDatDeHat was right.

I’ll save the naphtha bath for a more deeply soiled, or light colored hat.

All it took was low compressed air blasts, a brushing, a damp cloth and steam shaping to bring this hat back to its glory days.
I’ll say this: Though I have had no problems using water to clean or promote the stretch of vintage sweats in the past, lately, I have ruined two sweats with it. I’ll never use water again.
Leather conditioner and a rag only.
With this hat and sweat the cold water didn’t completely ruin it but shrunk and cracked portions of it. [emoji35][emoji35][emoji35]
Maybe you guys can learn from my recent astonishing experience.

Looks great, Randall. Bees wax leather conditioner every time imo.

Ran out with the wife real quick for some supplies. “Art-ified” Whippet. Shirt that is way too long. And my old Perfecto that I’ve been working on ALL WEEK. Bowen, it’s all YOUR fault.

Super photos, Stefan. I'm going out on a limb here, but it looked better back then [emoji6]

Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

Great history Stefan.
LOL, What the heck is a Chipsy King XL...... ?

I can only agree it looked a lot better back then. Chipsy king XL is a storefront the size of a pancake selling french fries. It's this kind of franchise that makes me think we're doomed

They are definitely hard to find in our part of the world, Panos. I think we need to take a trip to Amsterdam and have Stefan show us around.

Sent from my HUAWEI VNS-L31 using Tapatalk

We could Steve ! Many distractions in Amsterdam though, hard to focus on hats only

I happen to know a route that passes all the vintage stores and ends up right in the area of erm... other interests.

I love the colors of this one !
I see that you prefer the brims-up but the turn-down don't look bad on you too. Ah, and nice jacket

Foggy and rainy today so we took the Akubras out.

What you see is a weird combo of Greek temperament, Australian craftsmanship and Norwegian weather

Have a nice Saturday,
Panos

And it all works, even the Norwegian weather adds to the atmosfere. Could have been a photoshoot!

That is a beaut, Max!

Gotta work today, since I took off yesterday so I could work on two hats. This fifties Adam is one of them. I’m debuting my new bow design called: the Coronet.

This ribbon treatment will be done easier and better in the next hat.
Cheers!

Excellent work, Randall! I find even the most simple bow designs a pain in the neck. I admire your ambition and execution!

A little Borsalino action for a breakfast date with the wife.

I still haven't cut the button covers out of my phone case, hence the look of concentration. At least there's no snarling today.

A Borsalino should score you that date. Looking good, Steve.
