Perfect hat for the job Bob !

Late morning dog walk wearing another thin ribbon fedora. Snow just started falling. (A vintage 40's Stetson Stratoliner in pine green.)

This is a good example of one of my hats that requires some crown blocking. You can see faintly in the hat alone pic that the crown shows previous creases (front/back/sides). It has been sitting in a stack of others waiting for me to get to work. I am expecting some more at home time shortly.

Hat care coming.

It takes a little practice.. but it’s relatively easy. Especially on good malleable felt.

Have a good day and stay well,

The Portis looks positively soft as a pillow. Nice one, Michael.

Old creases or new, that's a beauty, Eric. I'm a sucker for a green hat.

I find the dark colored hats are not easy to wear this one looks great

Good morning. Out sipping coffee while walking and strategizing how to execute safe business, take care of staff and still service our clients Be safe out their folks.

Thin ribbon for mental efforts this morning. Vintage Stetson Stratoliner in a glorious brown this morning.

Best, Eric -

As suggested here I did not trim the brim but I did Curl it and give it a little swing, plus, i found positive ID. From a 1936 Visalia catalog, matches price and store. It’s a San All Special

Some great hats Eric and one serious saw. Please keep it away from those lids

A Gannon Wanderer (steel gray beaver with charcoal trimmings) went on my errand to get oil change.

A vtg. Stetson Royal DeLuxe longhair was my hat choice for grilling breakfast. Headed to the grocery store in a vtg. Stetson Whippet.

Lastly I am making smaller branches out of big branches preparing for an evening campfire. A Filson cap was my work cap.

Meanwhile, I guess I'll try to relearn how to convert the file format, size, and thumbnail/image uploading process on this site in order to share a few photos of my recent headgear. It seems really cumbersome, but I seem to have a good bit of time on my hands now that pretty much all my work has been canceled. Included here are my Clearwater Hats derby with a standard horsehair band, my Buckaroo Sahara crossover hat, my Greeley Hat Works western homburg in granite, and my Texas Hatters Silver Belly Derby. The leather band arrived today. I ordered it 5-6 months ago from an Etsy guy, and asked him to replicate the pattern on my favorite belt, and I think he did an excellent job. It is not perfectly symmetrical, but I do love the hand made aesthetic.

I miss the ease of the app.

@Shadow1948 Man that is beautiful. I have a nearly identical Borsalino Ghiacchio.

I love the color on that one.

My new refurb 40s/50s Strat. It was a wreck. You can see that someone removed the original thin ribbon in this eBay photo.
I’ll post more pics later in the new hat thread. Is there a “what hat are refurbishing today” thread?
I sewed vintage 3/8 grosgrain and bow on today.

That’s a spectacular hat! I love the curl too.

No denying that Tapatalk made posting and the entire experience more enjoyable. Glad to see that you’re well and sharing your hats. Be well, Jeff.

Looks pristine! I would have guessed it was a modern hat based on condition.

Thanks, Brent and @Rumad.
I added a before pic to my post in an edit. The hat has a 6” open crown and 2 3/4 brim, so you know it’s one of the older Strats. eBay BIN at $85 but in pretty rough condition.
