Stetson 4X in a cattleman crease. The original crease had the center dent too narrow for my liking.

Resistol 3X in a cattleman crease. Much prefer this crease over the front pinch it originally had.

Ranch Western Wear Dynafelt in a double telescope. Bond did a great job replacing the sweat on this one and returned it to me as an open crown. There was SO much to work with that this seemed to be the best option. It's turned into my favorite yard and field hat.

Here's Bond's pic of the the Dynafelt when he worked on it..

Stetson 3X selv-edge. No matter what I do to this hat, steam or dampen, this is what it reverts to every time I put it on. I could stiffen it a little to change it up but I like it as is.

Very Cool! Each one is terrific.

Thanks, Ant. It has rapidly become a go to hat. Soft and old, a little bug eaten and the least amount of money for one of my vintage hats. Sits like a handkerchief on my head.

Thanks, 40. I'd polish my old boots for hours to get them the way I wanted them to look. Never thought I'd spend time bashing a hat to get that look I want. You're partly responsible for that.

Wasn't it Woody Allen that said, "The hat wants what the hat wants?"

I may be misremembering that.

That is a really cool bash! I don't know that I've seen that sort before. Great color, too!
