Today it's my Dobb's stingy brim that completes the look

c.1950s (store label reads 1951, maybe this is the date of manufacture?) Stetson Flagship. First time ever steaming a crease into a hat. old profile was really strange, so i put it into a "diamond-ish" crease, and lowered the pinch some. Heres the result. Not too bad for the first attempt

So it goes in the autumn with hot or cool days without logic
Today morning with cold breeze and sun almost out of the clouds, warm in the afternoon

Vintage borsalino in brown with shark gill ribbon matching the felt

"Folco" color and three zig-zag seams to finish the brim

It is another of the hats that arrive from Merano where the pleated ribbon is very represented in the field

The hat is light, just for these days

Thanks for your likes
Buon lunedì
Nice color

Probably both... Deer bone? Please share the technique, or the Youtube vid!! You have my attention, sir!
Charlie - I"m no expert on this. I think the technique shown in the video Doug embedded is about right. But I used a rib and not one sold especially for doing shoes. One I got from my brother in law complete with a nice fat covering. Ha ha.

So while it is a method primarily recommended for shell cordovan, it works for box calf to some degree also.
