Playing With My New Christmas Toy

[Tango Yankee]

An Adam Royal, and a Champ Featherweight. (Both in nice shape, just too small.)

Sounds good! Looking forward to seeing those on you as well.

Cheers,
Tom

Nice work!:eusa_clap

Do you have any pics of the sweatband replacement process? I'd love to see it in action, since I've got one that is crumbling.

Wow.....

JT....you're gonna have lotsa fun with that contraption. I can see you snaggin' up all the good deals on the smaller sized hats now. Looks brand spankin' new, great job my friend. Welcome home.

Would that gizmo long-ovalize a hat I wonder?

It sure does! As a matter of fact, some who need a regular oval have complained about the long oval effect. (This is less pronounced if the hat has virtually no stiffener.) I love it! Of course I am a long oval.

Great loooking hat, impressive refurb! Being able to pull somthing that looks that far gone into such a good looking hat must lead to all kinds of eBay bargains!

It does open the door to possibilities. However, that particular hat was purchased last week, from a vintage clothing store in Blue Ridge, Georgia. It was sort of a bonus for buying two Borsalinos (Both in great shape except for being a bit large. I'll either size them down or sell them as they are.). In all I have bought eight hats from that little shop. (3 Borsalinos, 2 Lock & Co., 1 Resistol Homburg, 1 Custom, and 1 Lion). I keep hoping that well never runs dry!

That is astounding! Inspiring transformation. And I'm extremely jealous of that new toy of yours!
