No hats yet, kingrat. A week ago, JG said he was going to get them out as soon as he could. He sounded sincere.

He always sounds sincere. Always. Still no hat here, nor any reply to my latest text.

It is my hope too, but I don't see nothing new.
I'll try to light a candle to the Virgin Mary......

I'm protestant, but if you give me the name of the propper saint of hats, I'll lift some prayers and light some candles for my fellow loungers.

Daniele,
St. Anthony of Padua of course, the patron saint of lost or stolen articles.
i'd really love this thread to come to a conclusion and disappear.
I do believe his intercession found my wristwatch

Bravo Riccardo! Sant'Antonio da Padova is the saint for lost things.
By the way the 10th October 1991 his chim (relic) was stolen from the Basilica in Padua with a huge scandal.
The chim was founded after 71 days with the jubilation of the faithfuls of Sant'Antonio
End of OT

This article likes St. Catherine. For our purposes, I'd pick St. Clement of Ireland due to the felting legend.

Well, I heard from him, and saw him last night, and I have to say, I couldn't be happier. I know it's been almost a year since I dropped my Akubra Fed IV off with him, and I've been pretty irritated on a number of occasions that he didn't get it done, and didn't reply to my texts. But, finally it has come together and now I'm really glad we began this remodel.
I have always been bothered by the dimensional brim on the Fed IV, but really didn't know who to send it to, to get it trimmed so it'd be a normal fedora. When JG offered to do it, I jumped at it. I also asked him to put a new ribbon on it and he let me pick one from all his stock. Here are the results:
This was EXACTLY what I wanted. He does very good work, a true craftsman.
As a peace offering to me, he also gave me this antique hat box which he had refurbished. He put new lining in it, and it has a false bottom full of cedar chips. I was stunned by this beauty:
Here it is in the sunlight:
and in the shadow of my garage:
and here's now the inside looks:

His work is really nice but this long silence makes anyone insane.

I'm glad hoping this is the beginning of a positive trend for JG and the stand by trustees :eusa_doh:

One year to trim a brim and add a ribbon? That literally should take an hour maybe two at most.
