That modern Stetsonian looks great, Fruno! Great color. You have got it pinched out just right.

Thanks, D. You're looking good stepping out tonight.

Happy New Year, Cuz. Perfect hat for that pic.

Great work, Terry! Love these pics with the hat on the old radio.

Thank you, steur. Much appreciated. The radio, btw, used to belong to my Great Grandmother who bought it brand new from a furniture store called Nelson Furniture which has long since been out of business. I believe she bought it some time around 1940 or so.

Dynamite proportions. What's the brim width?

Thank you, scotty. The brim width on this one is 2 5/8. I've done a little tweaking to the pinch and reflanged the brim again since that post. I was trying to get closer to Alan Ladd's China hat which I'll be posting in a few. Additionally, it's a tall straight crown, 4 7/8 at the pinch with a rake sloping to 4 1/4 at the back, as creased.

Somebody finally got it right.

Thank you buddy. I've done a little tweaking to the pinch and brim since, though. I'll be posting the results in a couple of minutes.

 

[T Jones]

You do very nice work on those hats. I remember the Sha Na Na show also, was one of my favorite shows. I graduated from HS in 77.

Thank you buddy. It was different time way back when. I miss the good ol' days.

I missed a great end of the year on the Lounge yesterday. I was going to make multiple comments about hats and happy news. But really, one word will suffice for it all: Fantastic!

Wes... I'm terribly sorry for your loss.

Moon... FIGHTING HAT (AND LOUNGE) MONKEY ARE FIGHTS WE CAN'T WIN (except maybe with methadone and/or burbon and/or severed fingers so we can't type or pick up hats). But seriously... I am grateful that you are back. The place isn't the same without you and your monstercrazydisturbing collection and knowledge.

My marvelous new year begins under a Vita-Felt.

We have the rare Chesapeake Bay effect snow showers today so this flake is headed out to chase some other flakes. We don't get to see much snow around here.

I hope that each of you great folks have the best year ever. May it be totally groovy.

Excellent conversion TJ, Those Stagecoaches had some great colors. Is that Tan Bark?

It's not Tan Bark. This one is much darker. I used to know the color but I forgot what it was called. It's a very dark brown.

And absolutely frigid day, literally and figuratively. -5 outside. Went to a funeral today for one of my oldest and closest friends who was taken on Christmas in a senseless act of violence.
Some things I'll never understand. I wore a 60s Bee today.

That's tough. In a similar incident I lost a good friend back in October in a drive by shooting. He was shot in front of his own home with his wife watching. They never found the killer as far as I know. He was gone before the paramedics got him to the hospital. He was a good guy who loved to laugh and talk sports.

Oh! I perceived the brim as being shorter, although it looked larger in the table shots. Must have been the angle of the shot of it on your head.

Either way, a great looking hat.

Perfect hat.....great pic....!!

Wearing this Resistol Stagecoach conversion again today. I did a little tweaking to the pinch and made it tighter and I reflanged the brim again. I was trying to get a little closer to Alan Ladd's China hat. It has a nice tall straight crown with a 2 5/8 brim....here's the redo, (the picture of me wearing the hat is closer to the actual color).

The year is starting off on a cold note. Had to go with a fedora for the first time in a couple of weeks in any case. Marathon.
