Time to break in my custom design-made in Melbourne Australia by a sole trader from 100% Western weight beaver based on a Spanish riding hat. His workmanship is excellent and easy to get along with.

Large brim to maintain the proportions due to the high crown that I need.

Monday greetings to all! Did a little brushing and steaming on a few hats yesterday including this Stetson 4x James Dean Foundation lid. Figured while its all spiffy I might as well give it some public time. This is a nice soft but firm dress weight felt. Molds well with a puff of steam but its not hard or stiff.... . Really comfy hat

Back from the mornings errands and coffee. Piddling around the backyard trying to get some edging finished before it rains again. Thought it might be a good opportunity for some Hemp Maintenance. Steamed up the new Biltmore braided Hemp and screwed it on tight... see it I cant loosen up the fit just a smidgen. ( Humm.... maybe I should get a haircut too... that might help) Fired up an old Peterson Canadian with some Lane BCA (black cavendish aromatic). ****** Marys inbound as soon as the yardwork is done.

On another happy Hemp note, I just picked up a Borsalino fine weave braided hemp in navy in an auction about 20 minutes ago (2-1/4" brim).. Finally got a Borsolino for the wall! Just needs a new ribbon so it will be all personalized by the time I get done with it! Cant wait til the post office decides to get it in my hands! Summer Life be good
