The Fall of the Moustache
Myself, being a 40 + male with a handlebar moustache, I'm optimistic that the fall of the beard will be the rise of the 'stache. Judging by the way the moustache became popular in the 19th century, I'm hopeful that this is how it will become part of a man's style once again. Post Civil War, the...- jswindle2

When was the C crown created?
I am a history fanatic,so the relatively small detail of when the C or Teardrop crown crease appeared is as interesting as anything that occurred in the past,to me.Just as a Muy Mucho Max thread or any person's remembrances of the past through their eyes would be very interesting. -

OKaaay.Now I see the difference.Not a lot of a difference,but I do indeed now see it.:D -

Rounding Jacks
Here's my newest homemade jack. It is far from a fine tool,but it does the job as well as a big dollar jack(at least for what I'm doing). I would love to have one of humanshoes' works of art. However, my homemades suit the purpose for now. I make the bodies in differing sizes and switch the... -
When was the C crown created?
Actually,I only saw part of it. The two stars I saw were Gary Cooper and Merle Oberon. -
When was the C crown created?
I basically see them as the same thing,like the style above. -
When was the C crown created?
I noticed a C crown on a hat while watching The Cowboy and the Lady (1938). This is the earliest I have noticed that I can pin down. -

The Conversion Corral
Does anyone have a suggestion of how I could create a Homburg/Lord's Hat type curl without having a flange made for that style? (Unless someone here has a Homburg flange and will flange it for me). ;) -
Rounding Jacks
There is a couple of us guys on the Conversion Corral thread that have designed and made our own jacks,mainly do to restrictive availability and pricing. If you check that thread you'll see a couple of different styles pictured and you may even find someone to make you one. They may not all be... -
When was the C crown created?
Being more of a fan of the pre-war style of hats, I've always been inclined to the center crease bash on a crown. However, I have seen pre 1940's hat's with different crown styles like the tear drop or c style bash and I do like the look of it. I was curious as to when the C style started... -
The Conversion Corral
Well, I finally finished my latest semi-conversion of my dark brown Stagecoach. Some days I'm happy with the hat but sometimes I want to do something else. The future will tell what I decide. I am happy with my work and how it turned out but I am sometimes ambivilent about what I want to own. -
The Conversion Corral
This hat started out as a 3x Resistol 70's-80's made. My intent for it was to make a SpanAm War style campaign hat hence the snowflake vents and 3" brim. To this day I still have not been able to find a tan hat in my size to try at another campaign hat. Since it was my first conversion it didn't... -

The Conversion Corral
I've always been a big fan of the late 19th and early 20th century style hats, like the ones in early cowboy filims. A few of those guys were real cowboys and lawmen. -
The Conversion Corral
I wish I could say it ended up that way on purpose. -
The Conversion Corral
Look what I just won on the 'bay Joao. I don't mean to poke the bear but I may end up cutting and converting it. However, I may leave the brim alone and just change the bash and ribbon. I'm not sure since I finally found a brown 'Coach in my size and converted it. Suggestions are welcome. -
The Conversion Corral
Well, here it is. The bow didn't turn out as well as I hoped but it has always been my weak point. The sides are straighter than they look in the picture. I went with 2" ribbon because I still had some vintage rayon/cotton Petersham left. -
The Conversion Corral
I thought I'd throw up a pic of what the hat originally looked like.
