Wearing my latest rebuild. This is a Resistol Ridgetop in Silver Grey that a fellow Lounger gifted to me. I took this one apart and blocked it up from a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4 LO. Except for the hat band, I reused everything that was original to the hat. Unfortunately, I'm going to have to fire my photographer. She and the poodle slept in this morning and I had to snap a couple of bathroom mirror selfies.
Before:
Reblocked from a 7 1/8 to a 7 1/4 LO on my RA block:
Brim cut to 3 inches with my Rick Walker brim cutter:
Finished:
I wanted to do something similar to the hat Clint Eastwood wore in the movie, "A Perfect World"

Borsalino Debrosan
Ultra light felt in the color Sfinge makes for a great Florida hat

Great job, Terry. I like the straight-sided crown.

Bought a new rain jacket the other day. I thought I wouldn’t see any more rain fit a year. Boy was I wrong. Been raining off and on all day.

Thank you buddy! I gotta give credit to the rounding jack that Rick Walker made for me. It does a nice job.

Echter Velour-Soleil, no company mark, possibly late 1920s. The Velour-Soleil felt is paper thin (not literally). You can see from the side angle and pliability. This is the most Zephyr weight Velour I have in my collection. Such Velours actually do exist.
