    The Conversion Corral

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Yessir and Thank you! It was an old Round Up with a very wide brim and the crown is almost 6" tall. I like tall, non tapered crowns. I simply trimmed and sanded the brim down to 3" and put a nice Diamond crease in the crown.

    My Daily Beater working in the 'ol Lumber Yard...A Resistol Conversion I did myself. I needed a thicker felt to take the abuse I give it at work. This does just fine.

    Show off your fedora ink!!!

    All you Loungers with Fed or Flat Cap tats, let's see 'em! This is a silhouette of my Grampa leaning against a lamp post in Eureka, CA on my upper left arm. He was the best woodsman I ever knew and never, ever, ever without his lid. You taught me well Gramps!! RJ
