Western, anyone?

"Man, what a beautiful sight."

Thanks. Really fun part is the lamp and buffet that all the ***s sit on belonged to my great Grandparents. Both were ordered by and then shipped (as well as a big oak dinner table) to OKC shortly after the land rush. Amazes me knowing how many miles that thing has traveled the mirror is still original. Thankful every time we sit down at that table.

Real treasures for us.

Love those stories.

"Nice, just how I like! Snowing?"

Thank you Sir! Thought you might like it. Yes, big flakes for a short while this morning, that and some hay on my hat prior to the snow, from feeding. Mostly snow. Then it rained some. Both gone now. And my hat fits better

Hahhahhhaaa! Took me most of the day after feeding to clean the house up from the mess i made the last two days. If you have ever pounced a new blank you'll understand. My wife is a Saint I do tend to get a little obsessive when I have a new hat in mind.

 

[redlinerobert]

Wow!

Some great posts here in the last few days. Welcome Yahoody! And that cannon! Amazing!

Great.
FEPSA also does big felts.
You probably have seen my latest hat.

I'm new here and have never heard of FEPSA. Did some searching and found mixed reviews of their blank quality. Please post a picture of your wide brimmed hat Joao. Did you get the 100% beaver you wanted?

No, I never got a 100% beaver blank.
The closest thing I have it a Stetson 7x Clear Beaver.

I really like this hat. The hat band is actually not so bad either.

Those Stetson 7Xs are really nice hats!

The finish is amazing.

Try Winchester Hats for blanks. 5% beaver to 100%. Most of the top hat makers use them. Nice people too.

I'm curious as what 100% beaver blanks Bailey used in the 2000's till lately. I have had pure beaver in several makers' hats and several factory hats and The Baileys took abuse and repeated homebrewed rehabs better than the others and lived through them. They do shrink more then the others and that has caused me issues with the brim after washing.

I am with ya. Our family bought 4 big hat 7X bailey's from Tonto Rim back in late '80s early '90s and all of them are still going strong. All have been rebuilt at least once. Best bang for a hat I have ever seen and compares well to any full beaver I have seen or built before or since.

Small Mustanger. All beaver, 3.5" bound edge brim, pencil curl on the back half, 5" open crown, contrasting 1" ribbon. 5 years old now, from Sheila at Montana Mad Hatters.

Now that is a hat!

I keep telling that to this people but they all wear tiny tiny hats.

Sugar loaf or sombero?

This is the part I do not understand :\

I like your style Sir!

I like yours too. But I don't have a horse to go with it...
