Thank you all for the comments on this hat! And thank you once again, Randall, for a beauty of a hat and your friendship! And sorry (not sorry) about The Tide rolling over them dawgs! That bit of crimson accent in the bow keep will forever remind me of that game.
Wow, they most certainly do, those are sweet!!My new sweatbands are in and they look awesome!! Very cool to see your own logo design stamped in gold on some fine looking sweats! Much better leather than the ones I was using.
I just bought a new sewing machine last night to replace the new heavy duty sewing machine, that arrived broke down, I bought recently.
So I’m waiting on the newest HD machine to be shipped out. Then I can finish a few custom hats, re-creations and restorations that folks are waiting on—plus sew two rows of decorative gold stitching on the top edge of these new sweats.
Also got the shipment of various colored hat liners that I have to stamp myself with gold ink and stamp pad that I bought, but I’m still waiting on the custom rubber stamp I had made.
And then a pic of my new homemade rounding Jack of my own design to cut brim edges to size. Works great!
I feel so official all of a sudden!
I love mine! Got my initials stamped in it too.
Looks great, David! @Randall Renshaw is in possession of one of my beat up and dirty St. Regis felts awaiting re-creation. Thank you for posting and sharing inspiration.
Thanks, fellas, and right back at you RR! Phil—look forward to seeing your new lid!
Thanks, RBH!
That looks fantastic!!
Great work!!!!
Thanks, Randy! It did turn out great and was a fun process—I told Randall I wanted a grey hat and he showed me pictures of about six vintage felt bodies he had to choose from. Then photos of the vintage ribbons he had he thought would go well with it. And there you go—a custom vintage hat.
Great job @Randall Renshaw glad you were able to get this favorite back in your rotation, Brent.
