My great nephews I met for the first time from North Carolina. They left southern Florida with new old hats! The seed has been planted!

Great job! I can remember how happy I was getting my Grandfather's old hats.

That ArtLite is great Tom. Hope you enjoyed your vacation.

Our run of great spring weather continues, but it is a little cooler this morning. Good day for a 40's Whippet - especially since yesterday was JBS's birthday!

You did a nice job fixing it up D... Excellent!...I'm glad to see that such a nice classic didn't end up in the trash somewhere, thrown out by someone who didn't know what they had...it definitely looks good on you!

He does indeed, T.

This one wasn't expensive though - an eBay bargain find that wasn't in very good shape. The sellers packaging was poor as well which meant I had to do a fair bit of re-shaping and I also used some fabric tape inside the top of the pinch to help where the fibres were a little weak.



The sweatband was dried out and had shrunk - split into pieces as soon as I tried to get it back to my size.

Now with a new quality sweatband and flange job from Tom Gomez and a "new" ribbon from an old 50's hat I had kicking around, it is a great hat to wear at a fraction of the price of a new one.

I'm always scanning eBay for another BB bargain, but I think it is unlikely!
