What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

The new-to-me Knox 15 made a pretty decent turn around yesterdy. Its making the morning coffee shop run with me today. After blocking and some brim flange work, The brim is behaving, and the crown convinced me that its happiest with a center dent on top and more of a side dent rather than a front pinch. it holds its shape well for a nice soft hat. No stiffener on this one! Its got a few character spots, but they are tolerable. Its a really comfortable hat to wear.

Ill fit a new liner inside, and eventually will need to at least restitch the sweatband (every time I put it on my head I hear another rotted thread pop. Sweat has obviously shrunken a bit as theres about a 1/4" gap in the back between the ends of the sweatband. Im honestly seriously thinking of just replacing the sweatband. There are several rough looking edges and spots, and the reed is sticking out over about three inches where the rolled over edge of the sweat is just gone. Doesnt show when Im wearing it, so for now I just wont take it off in public lol . Kind of thinking if the sweat gets replaced, I may recycle the gold embossed Knox 15 logo and move it up into the center of the new liner. New liner is unmarked, and this would be a cool way to see what it was originally.

To, Voodoosan,The Shoe, Story PNW, Blare, hatsRme, RBH, Bob Hufford, TimmyV. And to all well wishers for your prayers, well wishes and kind words. Tina will love them.

The lady had to report to the cardiac unit at half seven this morning. So at half past seven we were there.

My Stetson Sovereign was Tina's choice.
After checking in Tina was taken to the operating theatre and with a heavy heart, I left for home.

It's just gone three pm UK time, the hospital have phoned me. All has gone well, she's out of surgery and is recovering well. I can visit her this evening. Such blessings, thank you all again, apologies for the emotion.

Been catching up this morning and very glad to read that everything went well with the surgery. These things can be more trying for those standing on the sideline than the subject him or herself. I speak from experience as I have had two stents placed somewhere in my arteries around my heart several years ago. Fascinating procedure to follow live on the screen but nerve wracking for the loved ones not in the room. It will take some getting used to, but soon Tina will be making trousers and shirts for you again and for many years to come. For now she deserves all the pampering you can muster of course. Wish her well from me, Robert.

You have, more or less, defined the experience of the loved one destined to be the one pacing up and down Stefan. My guess is that many a Lounger has been through such an uncomfortable experience.

Tina is an industrious person by nature, sitting still is just not her forte. Since her surgery there has been a couple of bouts of tears simply through frustration and boredom. The lady is also a realist, she knows that all that professional care in the operating theatre would be in vain if she didn't follow the medical instruction for recovery.

Thank you Stefan and thank you Loungers, you have made a poorly lady smile again. Her handiwork is in today's Hawaiian Shirts & Fedoras thread.

Welcome back, Eric! I hope there was a sufficient amount of "off-time" while traveling to compensate for the work. And yes, scrambling over scree in a fedora would probably NOT be my first choice either! And a DOZEN to jump back in the pool??? Niiiiiiiiiice, sir! Every single one of those is drool-worthy!
