Busy morning....Headed 50 miles over to Lufkin to look at new truck tires this morning. Also picked up a new framing nailer so I can finally get the back patio roof repaired. Most importantly I finalized a horsetrade at the archery shop for a big new 36x36 bow target for the yard. Seemed like a good old hat day. This ones an older Moose River ... think Ive had it since the 80s. It was well worn and floppy so I added the brim binding so it holds its shape better.

Another day- another Moose River...Felts mostly decent on this one, but had to replace the rotted sweatband. Also salvaged the band and liner off another donor hat. Basically took three hats to make one lol . At least it looks complete again

R. & M. Wegener "Start" possibly early 1930s. The Felt is a fantastic mélange with a fine Rauh finish + soft hand. It has a hidden stitched over welt curled Brim (popular in the time period) with Back Bow. I found this Soft Felt back in 2020.

A rare gem, Steve. Style, felt, finish: it's all there!
Oooh, that's a good looking hat, Jeff.

A week of repeats this Sunday. With blazing temperatures during the week (it's supposed to be the cool north here!) straw was the only option.

With the heatwave in our part of the world, Stefan, straw was the only choice.

Some nice ones there. I especially love all the ribbons. They really set each hat off.
