What Hat Are You Working On Today?

And now the Sweatband is sewn back in, the ribbon tacked in, and liner is back inside where it belongs. Its a complete wearable hat again! One just needs to remember where it started, and the remaining warts dont seem so bad (either that or dont scrutinize underneath it too closely lol)

Project complete and on to the next one!

I have not seen this thread before. I didn't read all the pages, but what I've read was interesting. My most recent reshapes are a tall crown Resistol that looked bad its original cattlemens crease. I changed the shape quite a little. The other was an Agnoulita shaped to a cattlemens crease.

I was also thinking, people have so many hats, yet are willing to invest precious time into returning an unworn hat into something wearable which also looks great, and keeps the sun off your eyes. Something very tangible about this. Cool stuff. Reminds me of being in high-school, and stretching and reshaping a Resistol into something I wore for close to 30 years until it was lost. That was a good hat. Cheers.

I found another '90s Resistol, brushed it up, and now wear that just as proudly. It seems to be unworn and original so fine by me.
