Pretty decent storm overnight so things are a tad bit damp and chilly....threw a nice old roadworn Akubra Campdraft up top to keep the head comfy, and fired up the fire pit for coffee outside
Nice one, HJ! I like the way you shape your hats with a higher cattleman to preserve more crown height. Or at least it appears that way to me.Caffeine junkie under a Resistol 3X with a hand felted edge.

Good lookin' work hat!
Thanks Phil. If you like the style then study the pics & everything about the 1920’s - 1930’s Western dress fedora. The height is all in the blocking & the crease. I don’t remember the thread but Jared @jlee562 made an excellent post on blocking & buying blocks. Study & understand blocking.Nice one, HJ!

Vanzina, original, therefore from the 1950s. Size 60 cm. The color is "Mogano," and the quality is designated by the letter G.

Medium-textured felt, malleable, yet very firm. The hat is carefully finished, and the materials used are of high quality.
