Stetson ElPatron 30X, size 7 3/8
Hi, this very fine black western style hat deserves a chance to survive as is, before I rebash, trim brim and convert to a Fedora.

Ear Flicking, Hat Manhandling, Hat Tips, Boy George, and Hat Crushing

HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?
I apologize if I drifted off the direction of this thread. I really have been thinking of getting an Akumbra...something I can wear for casual, yet with a leather coat and tie if the occasion arises. I just want to be able to touch one, see how it feels, fits first. -

HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?
I really would like a nice vintage fedora, something like my grandfather used to wear. Not sure of its brand, but it was kinda olive brown, shaped like an open road. I have a 2 good hats , a couple westerns, and 2 outback types, but would love something in a tan or sand color. As far as... -
HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?
Ok, I was wondering about doing that, as I already have the hats, they both fit, and for $65 or so, I can have two new hats. I might as well give it a try. I'd love to go to Optimo's, but not sure if I can afford them. I bought one of my Biltmores at Hats-Plus in Chicago a couple months ago... -
HOLY GRAIL? /What fedoras are you pining for?
Hey, I have a question...I have 2 nice Stetsons western hats, one is a 30X felt in black (El Patron) the other is a 10X in light tan.

New Hat Crease on black Stetson
I agree that you really worked a miracle on that hat! Very sweet! I am confused though, I thought you were from Detroit? I keep thinking I'll try my hand on rebashing a couple hats I have, but they also really need to be reblocked, and the brims trimmed to get the full effect I want. I may just... -
car colors...
Graphite Blue Which is actually kinda a dark blue/grey charcoal affair. it's wrapped around a 2010 VW Jetta. I love the car, and if I was out West, or down South, this color would be too hot, but here in the Midwest, it's very nice. It looks very rich and expensive.- azhiker

How to Store Hats
I actually bought a 'hat rack' from a hat dealer online. It was $6 and it was what Hats-Plus in Chicago uses to display their hats. I bought two no, and I figure I will add more as my hats multiply. It's oval shaped, and tapers so your sweat band is all that touches.
