Speaking of the Handsome Enabler, here is a beautiful Dobbs Fifteen from said gentleman. A wonderful, mid-weight hat that really holds its own with other hats of similar vintage. This is also one with a brim you either twist, curl, and turn to snap down under force or yield to the will of the hat. In the end, I yield to the hat and wear it brim up!

From last year right before my knee replacement surgery. Too lazy this a.m. to get a picture. If you can't afford to buy an actual Whippet off of eBay, make something similar. This was a way too small, 6 5/8 Resistol Stagecoach that Bob Hufford saved from a yard sale and gave to me. I reblocked it to my 7 1/4 size and salvaged the ribbon and bow off of a modern Stetson. I also bound the brim with ribbon that was salvaged, again, from another hat.

Absolutely gorgeous hat, Randy. The hat will tell you what it wants.
Better get it out of your system then:). Very nice and a very cool ribbon treatment, Joe.
