Your conversions on it all look great, Terry, and there's no sense arguing with success, but it makes you wonder why the industry had to keep doing something else.
Go figu
It all depends on what you want to accomplish. Different block shapes for different styles and creases, and different flanges for different flange styles.

What I really need to do is sell another batch of hats, but I couldn’t resistol this one.
It is big on me so may not stick around long. The bone-pipe bead and turquoise band is something I made years ago.

Love the bound brim and fedora width ribbon. Looks like an outsized western-fedora...the best of both worlds. I’d shim it if needed, but definitely a keeper.

...couldn't resistol this one.... nice try:):)

I can't resistol most of them, regardless of brand! Reminds me, I need to dig out my cowboy hats next week.

Looking good, sir!

I don't know what the rules are for listing OFAS auctions, but I just came across a beautiful black Stetson No. 1 that needs a little TLC, but it's still got plenty of potential. I guess you guys can send me a PM and I'll send you the link. I'd get it but it appears to be too small. The seller said it measured about 22 1/2.

The...”etiquette” here is we don’t list live auctions unless you’re the one selling the hat. There isn’t any published rule as such, but the consensus is as we are all potential competitors it’s up to the individual to ferret out deals. Of course, you can always send a PM to a friend(s) you think might be interested. I learned this rule the hard way when new :)

That looks great with the red shirt!

Thanks, Dd. Nothing beats black and red together for me. The shirt is one of another mild obsessions of mine, Pendleton High Grade Western Wear shirts, especially the older white/cream labeled ones as this one is. It's old enough to have the pen/glasses slot in the pocket flap.

The beaded band looks perfect!

Always enjoy seeing this one out with that band. Just perfect on a black hat.
She was Ojibwa born in MN. Her daughter is/was a professor either at Haskell Indian College or KU, I've forgotten which. The seed beads are tiny to get that much fine detail. There are actually a tiny bit of blues & grays that aren't fully exposed in a photograph due to being a black hat.
