Blue Kensington fedora this morning. Glorious 30's dimensions on this hat with the side seam features.

After months of sitting, I finally finished this conversion project. All I lacked was sewing on the brim binding and I finally got it done. This hat was originally a size 7 '50s era 3X Stetson Western with the Last Drop embroidered liner that I was able to reuse. Aside from showing its age a little the felt was solid and definitely worth saving. I have more in the Conversion Corral...

Hand sewing a brim binding can be a real pain in the a$$ and it does a number on my back after having to sit too long.

After: notice the fading on the hat. It has a nice 'well worn' look with plenty of character but with a nice crisp profile.
