Thanks gents...he made it back with some cool stars, hats, horse head and beaver hats buckles that are used on 2 ply ribbons. I don't think he got any of the horseshoe pins we saw.

If that is what floats your boat then great. Everyone has their own style you don't see the feather look much around here.

Love the feathers!!! I have many on my old fedoras! My Dobbs, Stetsons, and Knoxs have them and I prefer them. My huge handmade pins on page 49 are not a favorite here either. It does not bother me in the least to drill a big hole in any kind of hat no matter what the price of the hat! Thanks for sharing!

i don't know about drilling holes, if you notice my set for the hat pins are in a independant ribbon, not even sticking the hats grosgrain ----- not that i will ever well but , i don't affect any selling possibilities or tears in my fur, felt or grosgrain i am a perfectionist, at least i try to be but not to the point where i go annoying to myself, then i have to stop , wait till you see my gold ones
on another note love the newsboy i am a full blown wearing the of the 8 piece

Brother those wooden pinheads are very impressive. Did you lathe them or hand shape them with sandpaper? I like those kind of straight pins through the bow, very high class looking to me.

All hand sanded got some nickle/ gold plated Pins and regular spring steel pins and glued exotic wood on them an sanded. I also got some blued spring steel pins

Nice work! They look great.
I had a couple nice pearl ones, and when I wasn't using them I kept 'em stuck in a little voodoo doll I bought years ago down in New Orleans. My boy got hold of it one day and the pins disappeared.

I make these hat pins, which are cast from pure silver. They go well on fedoras, as well as Westerns. Yeah, I have no problems sticking pins in hats. :eusa_doh: Wife does the hat bands, which are all hand sewn.

 

[dh66]

Pin and band both very cool!
