What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

Had this 3X Beaver Quality Last Drop out for A bit of yard work…. And a “Side by Side” with a nearly identical Borsalino. Without an OR designation and with the tri-cord ribbon it’s not an Open Road though aside from those two details… they would be the same. So I guess it was likely a slight upscale model from the OR :) I have this one in a sort of 4 Corners Tug Boat.

Did some more dimensional brim work on this Az-Tex Western that a generous Lounger gifted to me a while back. It originally started out as a way too small 6 7/8 Western. I blocked it up to a 7 1/4 LO mid-ribbon fedora. The brim had a mind of its own after I flanged it. The sides curled up too much to where the brim didn't want to snap down properly. The dimensional brim cut took care of that issue. Front to back, the brim is 2 5/8. The sides are 2 1/2 inches.

The videos are pretty low quality...



On the head. The color's not accurate under this light.
