My two vintage fedoras cleaned and restyled

[The Duke]

Thought I show my two vintage hats that Duane from the fedorastore cleaned up and styled for me, I'm very pleased with the outcome! Will send more vintage hats his way! Thanks Duane!


First two pics is my chocolate brown wormser

Next two is my light brown Royal Stetson Deluxe

Nice lids Duke, I have my father-in-laws Wormser from the late 40's early 50's. He is a bit unclear on just when he got it. Its a neat old hat, a bit small for me, but my grandson will grow into it soon.

Hm, very similar blocks. Is that a favorite style for you?
Look like nice 40s hats on 50s blocks? Was the Stetson
stretched larger?

Nice hats. Love the bow on the Wormser.

Thank You gentlemen for the comments! Feltfan the Stetson wasn't stretched and the c-crown blocking I take a liking to, my straw fedora has a c-crown a.k.a (teadrop style) shape. The bow on the Wormser I love also!
thanks for your compliments.

Wow! They really look great. What exactly did you have done to them? It looks like Duane did a fine job. Those are terrific looking hats. Congratulations:eusa_clap :eusa_clap Thanks for showing them.

 

[agent5]

I like em' both quite a bit. NICE stuff!

 

[Matt Deckard]

Now those are some nice hats. How many do you have in your collection?

 

[scotrace]

Any "before" shots?

 

[The Duke]

Thanks Razzman, agent 5, and Matt!

Razzman, Duane hand blocked these hats because of age and size, he steamed them back to their original shape. He also said it took some coaxing and hand blocking to give it unique c-crowns. Duane put a lot of hard work into it.
