[Ordinary Guy]

That is a KNOCKOUT Nokabout......

And thanks everyone for the kind comments of my Borso....

Its cold today in Chicago, so I'm wearing one of my overcoats and my resistol.

 

[Marc Chevalier]

Thanks Z!

Robert, at least the seller didn't sit on top of the two homburgs. The felt has a thick, zaftig look to it.

Double points for using the word "zaftig" in a Fedora Lounge thread. It may just be a first!

Being a foreigner I had to look it up in the dictionary! Great word, Alan. I love when I learn cool new words.

I wore this. No mug picture as my phone is dead and I misplaced my camera's memory card. Archive shots

Best part of this one:

Being a foreigner myself, I did the same thing.

Josh - the Resistol and the overcoat go well together.

 

[Aureliano]

Beautiful crown on that Resistol, Josh!

 

[RBH]

Fine hats today gents!
But I believe Josh takes the cake with his Resistol.

Today I wore my new BG Campdraft with center dent crease.

Agreed. Well done, Josh! Is that a converted Resistol?

 

[EggHead]

Nice Resistol Josh. A rare color these days.

I've gotten the stacked storage line to fade a bit...seller had 2 Homburgs that probably sat on this one.

Nice color, Flechet looks fine on you like a modern Aznavour ¡¡¡

 

[alanfgag]

Agreed. Well done, Josh! Is that a converted Resistol?

total transformation!

 

[Garrett]

Wow, somehow I missed that conversion. Very well done and in only a couple hours! Perhaps I can commission Josh to convert that homburg I just bought into a fedora.

 

[Rodkins]

Awesome work, Josh!
Today I am wearing my Alonge & Cie

 

[DJH]

Nice ribbon on that one, Mike.
Raining in NH today so Campdraft is ideal:

WOW!! Thank you very much everyone for your extremely kind words!!! For the longest time I wanted to re-create a really tall crowned 20's/30's style fedora using a "modern" hat, and the 1970's Resistol Stagecoach was the perfect candidate. The 6 1/4 inch open flat topped crown allowed me to put a deep center dent while still keeping with a 5 5/8 inch creased crown height at the sides. Obviously the front and back are a bit shorter, but the sides are what gives the hat that straight, no taper look. Its my favorite post-1950's hat, and I can't wait to find another Stagecoach in sand color to make another one for myself. I named the blueish-green one the "Thompson Sub," and I think I will name the next one the "Hyde Park." Thanks again everyone!!!
