What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Stetson St. Regis

 

[T Jones]

Thanks, Terry. I have a couple of others, but more wouldn't hurt

You rock other styles too but I think a Western flair really stands out for you. Great job!

Out and about getting all the stuff for the kids going back to school. Including masks... at least doing it in style with my green VS by Art Fawcett.

Fabio is a fashion icon. I love his suits and ties.

Thanks again, buddy.
I'm in the market for a Terry Jones special with Western flair if you have one to sale in my size

 

[Steve1857]

I am in full agreement with Terry on this.

Thank you, kind sir

 

[Steve1857]

He definitely has that ability. It is one of his super powers. (Or was it villain powers)

Dobbs Rainbow. Excuse the sour expression. I was thinking about work.

I really like that one Bob. The felt, color, band... everything but the mad face!

Now, you cut that look very well, Bob!
Matter of fact, I like it on you even more than the western hats, but I like that look, too, of course.
Wish I didn’t, but I look silly in a pork pie. At least I feel that way.
Nice Dobbs!

Thanks guys. I think these Porkies work for me and I agree that some of the westerns might not. Unlike Jerry I do "wanna be a cowboy" much of the time.

A few pics of my finished hat tools and stands that I’ve built recently.
Might have $10 in materials in them.
The Randal Alan block and flanger were about $270 together. I probably couldn’t build them to the measurements and smoothness needed, so didn’t mind buying those.
Made this piece into a 3 in one stand.
I can use it for a flange stand, block stand and a retainer stand.
The retainer is tapered and made to fit in a hat after it’s been stretched so I can continue using my stretcher in other hats while the retainer keeps the prior hat from shrinking back.
Plus, I can use the retainer and stand for hand sewn binding.

50s Stetson Fifteen is my HOTD.

Wonderful Dobbs Pork Pie, Bob. Love that ribbon. Looks good on you.
Work makes me a sour puss too, but that hat would make me whistle while I work

I think the mad face has its charm, Rick

It's like bucking a bronco, Randall. Or in hat parlance, you have to own it to wear it

You're not just a craftsman Randall, you're an artist. Cudos my friend.

Excellent Randall.

Oh. Is THAT why Bob looks so intense...because he’s bucking a bronc and hoping the Rainbow don’t get stomped after the 8 second buzzer?
