Evening service in my mid 40s freshly restored Stetson Sport-Lite.
Lot numbers and store embossment were kept and slid behind the new sweatband.
Reorder tags were glue back to the crown and the old Stetson and name logo crudely sewn on. Not as good as I planned, but the old leather sweatband was in too bad of shape.
Even reused the liner tape to hold the cleaned, ironed and starched liner in place.
The old tape strips are just as sticky if you wet them.

Only a true collector would say "simple Borsalino" . There's quality written all over it, Steve.


Thank you, Steve. Glad I wasn't affected much.

Thank you, Stefan.

Another great job on a hat worth rescuing, Randall.

Shopping in Osaka today. We went to a nice sushi place - first time to have really good sushi in ages.

Here’s an assortment of my recently worn. Stetson powder blue mode edge, Dennis Brooks’ black beaver, a couple of Hannah Hats flat caps, Baron Hats dark moss bowler, and a stingy Wormser I haven’t worn out in years, but have been enjoying lately.

Is that Dennis Brooks Black hat a vintage or is that a currently made hat?

Another great job on a hat worth rescuing, Randall.

Thanks, Steve and @Mighty44 and @Blare.
I had just finished sewing on the bow then had to jump up, take pics and leave for services.
This rebuild was a major task, and I’m not happy about how I ended up sewing on the old sweatband patch.
Was going to inset it into the new band then sew it in, but the old brittle leather was too crunchy.

Always sharp, Bill.
Somehow you even make brown look uptown snazzy!

Wow! Wide brim on that one. Must be one of the earlier ones?
You certainly have been offering fine, steady hat shows!

Dennis Brooks is or was a lounger here who had started making hats awhile back, but I’m not sure if he’s still around. His handle was @DRB.

I took a few days off from the daily hat fair, focusing more on what has come to me in recent days from the domestic market.

Today, first day of spring, I come back with a velour hat.

It was made in Italy in Merano by Matthias Hutter with the typical Tyrolean finish and a cord as a hatband.

New and very nice velour I had it reinterpreted, new size and shape, by Penumbra Hat in the Netherlands

It has changed the shape and the ribbon. The day lent itself to bringing out the sheen of the velour and its color

Today I walk in the garden to see the almost flowered wisteria. In the next days some updates

Good day everyone and congratulations on your hats.

Kind of chilly, but gorgeous day. Rocking the black cherry VS to grab the kid from school early. It is road test day. Thinking happy thoughts….

An excellent looking velour Daniele, from colour to shape to ribbon. Fleur just seems to get better and better.

Panizza Super for a trip to the dentist.

Nice soft and supple felt on this one

The sun really makes that color pop. Great looking hat, Alan.
