This is kind of cheating because I wore this back in November when I was in the desert in Morocco. It is my Gannon hat, it fit the outfit and the setting so well and everyone loved it.
Didn't know where else to post this.
I had made a purchase with seller: "timothiescloset" recently, changed my mind, he issued a refund before it was shipped out. The refund bounced twice, the seller became suddenly unresponsive to my messages to ask if there was an issue, I gave him the...
Today's outfit:
a 1930s black Stetson I got off the legend: Alan. I found a few beautiful black feathers when I was out West a month ago because I knew I could stick them in my hats beautifully and I was right!
Side note: I saw some Magpie birds, I looked far and wide for some of those...
shoot no 6 7/8s, I'm starting to look again. I want a nice contrasting ribbon one, saw a beautiful Stetson mist grey with a contrasting ribbon I love but it's in a size 7 and I have a size 7 hat and the 1 size bigger really is a little too big for my liking...
like I said, it will never be the same, I'm aware of all of that. But having felt the FEPSA swatches, I was extremely satisfied by the softness, evenness and density and that is in comparison to my vintage, knowing all well the limitations. I'm not trying to get a 1:1 exact, although that would...
Fair, I know nothing (so far anyway) will compare to a good ol vintage. I have my Stetson 7x 1950 to compare it to (and for a short time before I returned a vintage Borsalino), if I can find a hat made today that can be 90% of what my vintage is in terms of felt density and softness, I'll be...
keep us updated! I want to hear thoughts on the color, density, softness, if it's really close to a vintage as we can get or not and curious to see when the hatters start using it how it is
that looks indented, I haven't gotten to that point but I'm putting the sandpaper away and appreciating the hat for what it is. I might at some point try putting some sand (whenever I get somewhere with sand) to "dirty it up" underneath lightly to get the patchiness even, but what I did do is...
100% beaver Winchester, I saw the hatter go at it with a 320 in the other direction mind you (she was going CCW underside), she said it doesn't matter which direction you're going so long as you keep the same direction, and I was cringing the entire time but I didn't want to tell a hatter they...
