Thank you Perry! The block I used on that one has no taper at all. It's vertical all around.

Very nice Terry. Giving off Stetson Playboy vibes in its new blockingHere's a black Borsalino that I refurbished and blocked a couple sizes bigger. A fellow Lounger gifted this one to to me a couple or so years ago...
Before:
On the block, and a before and after open crown comparison:
After: I reused the original ribbon and bow...
On the head: The brim width is 3 inches...

Just now saw this. Very nice Playboy, Blare! It's one of those hats, among a few others, that's been on my bucket list. As I said before, I'll probably kick that bucket before I ever come across one.

You know with a name like Jones you've got to have Welsh ancestry. If the itch to trace your British/Welsh ancestary is in your DNA do let me know. You can stay at my place, just as long as you bring along your hat blocks et al! What an artiste you are!Here's a black Borsalino that I refurbished and blocked a couple sizes bigger.

Ha! Thank you buddy! I'm definitely of Welsh and British stock, as well as Norman ancestry. I was actually born in Ruiclip. I've always wanted to visit Isles someday. When I do, I'll be sure to look you up, and I'll bring along my hat blocks!

Nice fedora there Shadow and a mighty fine looking 40's suit as well. Love that pattern in the weave plus you can never go wrong with a dark blue suit.

Well I might just hold you to that, further more, your carriage will definitely be worthy of both your talent and your birthright. Ruislip? Who would have guessed?

Now THAT is what I call a Real car! That's a beauty! I'd make the trip across the pond just have a ride in it!

I took a tour on 19th, 18th, and 16th century vessels today. Then went to smoke a cigar at a Pipe Musuem in Old Town, and a drink at the pub. I wore my Bicorne I made from 50% Beaver and 50% Nutria, felted by Winchester Hat Corp. I will make a 100% beaver bicorne next with a taller "Fan" from Fepsa felts.
