What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

T Jones said:

Wearing my latest Western refurb project, 4X Resistol in tan. I sized up this small Western from a 6 7/8 to a 7 1/4 on a custom block by Randal Alan. The hat originally had a 4 inch brim width but I had to sacrifice that with the size up. I was able to trim it to a 3 1/2 brim, though. It also sports a new 1/2 ribbon with an OR style bow, and obviously, a new sweat. I'll have more later in the Conversion Corral...

On the block:

Trimmed:

And completed:

Custom Block from Randal Alan:

My review for Randal Alan's block....I'm very happy with it. He nailed the profile and the measurements I wanted, perfectly.

After my wife's brother passed away in December we inherited his cat. She's become my shadow and follows me everywhere...

I'll have more later in the Conversion Corral.....

That is quite a unique ribbon. I really love the green felt, and the hat looks great on you. That’s a nice jacket too Héctor.

So on the way out the door yesterday I was pleasantly surprised with a package at my door from Super fellow Lounger and all around great guy Brent @deadlyhandsome. When he told me he was going to send this hat my way.. I about fell on the floor. I’m VERY VERY grateful... for his generosity (and his large head that wouldn’t allow this one to fit him LOL)

As he and I discussed this is a special group here.. with some very generous individuals.. generous with their knowledge.. compliments... and paying hats forward from time to time.

Here is the Mac Lachlan made Rogers-Peet Company light silver grey

This is one beautiful hat with a really great feel to the felt. Takes any crease with ease! 2 3/8 Cavanagh edge brim that really hits a sweet spot for me!

Thanks for the kind words. It does appear to have a greenish tint to it, especially outside.

We need to see more of your beautiful VS collection.

A beautiful hat I got from Bob H some time ago. It has a cool ribbon and it fits like a glove. It is a very nice hat, period.
