Much, much better pictures then the last time. The full light really shows how nice that hat is in color and felt. Outstanding color.Always dig seeing a Dalton, Richard.

Thanks, Red. Stetsons excellent line is a solid modern factory production hat. You won't be disappointed particularly if you catch them on sale.
Looking good with those wide ribbons!

What is a zaftig brim, Alan?A major hat from a minor maker...
Somewhat zaftig brim for the period.
Outstanding brim on that hat, Michael. I don't think any of the modern hatters could make one quite like that.Curvy brimmed Dobbs on an exceedingly windy morning

Great hat, Woodtroll. Love everything about it. Nice boots too.A new whiskey-colored beaver felt Gannon, with antique copper ribbon. It took Michael a little while to find a dress-weight body to accommodate my request for a 3" brim and 5" as-creased crown, but he kept me in mind and finally came up with a body that would work. The hat was worth the wait! Great fit, very comfortable, and exactly as I specified. Needless to say, I am very pleased with this hat. I am glad there are custom makers around to take on projects like this, otherwise us punkin-headed folks would go wanting for hats!
Terrible photos as usual; please overlook the man under the hat!
Hope y'all have a great day!

Aaah, Steve: you know you're getting my vote with a homburg like that!Some great hats posted today fellas. Thanks for sharing.
Here's my Sunday contribution, a Hückel Homburg. I've been in a Homburg frame of mind this past month or so. Luckily, Stefan (this one) and Daniele have been able to keep me well supplied.

And it fit well, B. I just put in a single strip of felt in the back.
The nutria should be sturdy enough and I don't see any reason why you would want to change it: looks perfect!This late '40s - early '50s Stetson Nutria Western conversion has seen its share of being taken apart, converted a few times, and reblocked to size. It's faded out some over the years and developed a couple of small weak spots on the brim and on the crown. I was able to fix the the brim and the small weak spot on the crown is something I can live with since I'm not going to be mishandling it. In any event, it won't see any more conversions and it has a good long life ahead and should see a good deal of wear time. It's not the most perfect hat by any means but it does look like it's been well worn and broke in by an everyday blue collar guy some years ago.
Dreamy hat, Max. I can see why you'd choose the soft focus pics.My new Stetson One Hundred
