The curl did improve the hat, Brent. Good job. Keep at it.Despite the weather I’ve been wearing this Beaver Brand all day. I gave its 3.5” brim a curl and found that I really like the hat with the curl.

The gold medal is well deserved. Exquisite hat.On the Avenue... I think this one came via Justin. It's a favorite and a good one to start off the season of felt.
With brim binding and all: you're a better man than I am, Gunga Din!Hey all!
Per Brent's request, one of my own clumsy attempts to create hats from a couple of years back. . This one is Moe-riginal No. 6. Winchester bunny.
Have a great day!

I was going to call out to TB yesterday but being Monday I thought they might be closed. I may do that today.

Early morning walk with my dog Horatio (Tio). He and I watched the migrating broad-wing hawks roosting in the neighborhood trees. 10,000 raptors passed thru the Duluth, MN area yesterday. Yes, 10,000 (https://www.hawkridge.org/) . They come thru my neighborhood on their southerly journey. Today I wore a green Stetson Whippet.
This green Whippet has extraordinary thin and pliable felt. It needs a touch of cleaning on the brim. I will treat it to a bunch of steam to reduce the cupping in the rear of the flanged brim and to activate the stiffener in the crown. A wind comes by and the hat changes shape. It is the lightest Whippet felt that has been on my hat rack.
I have seen bluegrass Whippets. This Whippet is the same hue as my pine green Stratoliner. I know the Stratoliner is pine green from the matching magazine advertisements. I will have to do some digging to see what the green was marketed as.
Like other early Whippet's, this one has more brim binding sewn on the bottom of the brim than the top. Interesting Stetson treatment of the Whippet.
Back home to a bit of yard work before the day's heat sits in. Wearing a (new to me) wool cap for the efforts.

Thanks Stefan.
What an odd coincidence. Looks like the same hat with the same ribbon update but sans crease difference. Looks sharp.

Have a good one,

Very Stetsonian like, Eric. What's the brim width. Quite the $10 hat.

I will measure it later tonight as the hat is drying from a white gas (Coleman) bath. I am confident it will be 2.75 " as it wears bigger than 2.5". The green Stetsonian I have from the same decade is a thicker felt - dress weight. Your comment about being like the Stetsonian has me thinking I should compare ribbons between the Stetsonian and Whippet. They indeed may be the similar ribbon dimensions.
I have been searching for a bluegrass Whippet like Dave's (Texas member) and Delectan's (former forum contributor) for neigh on a decade. Wrong sizes and sketchy models have passed thru my hands, but nothing that has been a keeper. Catch and release those models.
More to come.
Thanks for the nods and likes folks.

Thank you, sir. The Whippet I passed on was the typical 2.5 and a Stetsonian I had, which made me question the brim width, was 2 5/8, I'm pretty sure. Fruno can confirm.

Ha, they certainly do have their similarities. The brim on mine is 3", which is a bit more than any of my ORs, but other than that they come pretty close to each other.
Thanks,
Michael
