    The Lords hat

    That’s really great, Stefan! It reminds me a bit of a variation on my soft crown Stephen Stetson lords hat, which is blocked like a bowler. Nice !

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    I’ve been wearing this hat that I just made . It’s a little crude, but fits great, and comfortably. It’s 165g western weight bunny felt. It might be charcoal, but looks pretty much black. Brim is 3.5” and I’m considering trimming it a little more but going to let it sit for now. I blocked it on...

    What Hat Are You Working On Today?

    Glad to discover this thread! I mess with hats all the time, without knowing what I’m doing. I’m hoping to change the latter part.

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Preface: Yesterday’s hat, obviously , was not yet a hat, but I hope for it to be someday. I’m looking forward to seeing what can be done without a big investment in tools and machinery. My biggest questions will be how to sew in a sweatband and/or ribbon, and how to cut the brim nicely without a...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

    Been a few weeks since a beautiful morning to sit on the porch with my tea (I’m off coffee for the moment and miss it), and enjoy the breeze, lack of heat, lack of extreme humidity, lack of rain.

    I’m sure it’s a big crowd as usual— typically for the entire month, even though the rally dates might be just a couple weeks. I do run into Brûlée— they play a lot in this region. In fact they did a Christmas show (!) with the Sioux City Symphony, in which I also play, last year, but I had a...

    Weather Hats, Belle Fourche, South Dakota

    That's a good question. I'm not sure I know. I can say with at least a little certainty both were western weight beaver felts. FEPSA seemed pre-pounced to a fault, and sends their bodies with a super defined brim break, so in a way, it seemed that you might have less to creatively work with. The...

    Weather Hats, Belle Fourche, South Dakota

    Paid Jack a visit this weekend, and both my colleague and I placed orders with him. Could take about a year to get the felts in. I hear that’s happening a lot lately. Jack showed me a FEPSA body and we compared it to the Winchester felts he usually orders. I know the FEPSA is well respected...

    Some nice pies there! When I first got into hats, it seemed like every hat was a pork pie, and now it seems unusual to find a good one.

    Amazing that Boy George is still going! I’m all about that bassist’s hat though!

    Don’t I know it! Would have been a much larger crowd too, if severe storms hadn’t been passing through. Thankfully it cleared up before the show and folks creeped outdoors. I think there is/was a trike rally going on in Deadwood, but of course the Sturgis rally has the hills crawling with people...
