Still working on this Resistol Ridgetop. The original open crown height was just a little over 6 inches. After the reblocking it's now a vertical sided 5 3/4 inches, plus one size larger. It retained its 3 1/4 brim width but to me it didn't look proportionate to the new crown height. I trimmed the brim to 3 inches so now it looks more proportioned for a better balance between crown height and brim width. I'll be keeping it Western.

Almost looks to have a heathered finish. Am I seeing things or is it real? It really makes the brim binding and ribbon pop. Very nice!

Thanks. There is definitely a heather effect going on. The color is called “dirt” and a few companies are making hats from it...I believe American Hat Co. Is one.

I visited the custom hat shop Burns Saddlery in Salina Utah a few years back. He had a wall rack filled with capelines. It seemed to me (like Ford's Model T) you could have any colour you wanted as long as it was Dirt. It is a great colour...especially with this light heather effect.

nice cut!

Thank you BB! I couldn't have done it without my 'handy dandy Rick Walker brim cutter' @ Phoenix Hat Co.!!!

I was joking with Rick about every time I stand over my cutting table preparing to cut a brim I get heart palpitations and sweaty palms.....apparently it is a common phenomenon.

Spent the day under this Stetson Sovereign. 2-3/4 brim with 2-cord ribbon.

Anyone know under which ownership group that the "lazy O" appeared in the Stetson script?

Sometimes there's a lot to be said for the classic clean profiles of the Garden Varieties. That style suits you well

Thank you, my friends. I guess there’s a reason why this style is so enduring.
