Day one of the transfomation is at a good stopping point. This has been fun..... fought me every step of the way lol. Lost my daylight for a better pic but can see where it started and where it is now. Finally got most of the wavy edges out of the new curl. Threw the new concho hatband on so...
AND NOW FOR THE MAIN EVENT! Thank god for the new Jiffy Steamer. I was going to roll the brim edge in a pan of boiling water, to get started But soon discovered that I dont have a round pan big enough to roll this big old brim through. Guess Ill have to go digging for a bigger broiler pan that...
Another box had the new brim curling tool... separate slots for 3/8" and 1/2" curl. Found it on ETSY and Im guessing it came from somewhere in eastern Europe. Fun little piece of wood! If anyone knows what the label says Im all ears lol
Halfway across the world just so I can torture a Texas...
Got a couple boxes in today.... One was one of the modern turquoise/ nickle silver concho hatbands. I actually ordered this one to go on my turquoise Hemp Stratoliner, but it looks pretty cool against black. Im still leaning towards an all silver coin concho band ( Maybe Morgan Dollars) for...

Arrrgh! the silver hatband was glued on... darn it. Took an hour of steaming and fingernail picking but I finally got it all off. The old band is a rubber material with the fake silver covering... it has a little black liner on both top and bottom edges that would have been perfect for...

Ive got some nice conchos on hand for the new...
Weather warmed up a bit so I went home and changed for the afternoon( Crocketts not very big and I only live about 8 blocks from downtown) Georgous weather thats perfect for Denim and Open Roads. Tree lighting on top of the Courthouse and Christmas parade was last night. Bought some Christmas...
Headed over to the town square this morning for Crocketts annual "Christmas In Crockett" street fair event ( shopping/ food/ car show/ people watching). Going to be a perfect cool and sunny day for itThought Id step things up to a Black Bogart and Herringbone jacket
Perfect complete afternoon here... 60 degrees and sunny with a nice breeze in the back yard. Pulled on the old Moose River for an Olympic level tennis ball session with Mr Moose ( one of the few hats Im not worried about getting slobber spots on lol) . Sipping on a Mango, Cherry, Bourbon...
