rolled up

I heard this pic made some people cringe so I thought I'd show it again.

When i was in Chicago in August, Graham showed me the same thing with the hat i bought. A Cavanagh Tan. Nice hat M.D.

 

[Matt Deckard]

I used to pack my old Cavanagh before I lost it. The Cavanagh was supreme. I wish I had a replacement.

Sounds like a hat that can really stand a pounding. It looks nice even after being rolled up. :cool2:

Looks exactly like the Borsalino 'Traveler' I saw at Peters Brothers last August. Rolls up JUST like that. Regards. Michaelson

Easy to roll up just about any soft felt hat. If it is the right hat it comes back with no problem. Just don't leave any creases on the brim.

I wouldn't want to try it with the thicker models. I do it with my vintage hats off and on to get a rise out of onlookers.

I'd say I could do it with my vintage Borsalino and Royal Stetson.....but I believe I'll just take your word for it, Matt. Regards. Michaelson

I don't do it with fresh stiffer out of the box hats either... I do it with ones that have been broken in.

There is that one hat that was brand new which I remember seeing the ad showing the guy crush it and I thought what the heck. It turned out fine too even though it was stiffer than most I have rolled.

I'll admit, I DID try it once with a newer fedora a few years back, just to see what would happen. I about had a heart attack! Fortunately, I got it reblocked to it's original condition. Like you say, it works best with a hat that's well broken in. Regards. Michaelson

 

[jamespowers]

Hmmm... You think I could get away with doing that to my bowler? LOL

[Michaelson]

Sure.....once. (grins) Regards. Michaelson

 

[jamespowers]

Nah, Art could fix it.

 

[Michaelson]

Yes, he could. I would LOVE to be a fly on the wall to hear you explain to Art just HOW your bowler got that way, though. Regards. Michaelson

 

[jamespowers]

Some hefty individual at a family gathering sat on it of course. LOL
I know nothing, nothing!

[Michaelson]

Sorry. Matt used that one in a post today describing HIS hat being crushed at the family Thanksgiving gathering. You'll have to find another one for Art. Regards. Michaelson

 

[jamespowers]

Hmmm.. I thought that sounded familiar.
How about it fell off my head---out the window of my truck and was run over by an 18 wheeler? Then I had to cross five lanes of traffic to get to it while three other cars hit it too? LOL

THAT works!:cool2: Art. Trust him. It really happened. Regards. Michaelson
