What hat are you waiting for today?
You might want to store it, with a band block inside the sweat, after you stretch it. It may help it hold size. These are very reasonably priced, through Mark, at Hatterssupply, they are CNC milled and have the proper 5 degree taper, needed of a sizing band block. Give me a shout, if you need...- Cane Rod Maker

Someone give them polite nudge, address them, to fix that oversight, get the list corrected, and shoot straight, equivalent to equality amongst all. WHERE WILL...- Cane Rod Maker

I didn't know photo bucket, did that, and I pulled some hair out, using the darn program it was a horrible source, for posting photos. And it's one thing, I absolutely could not stand about it, all these great pictures that were on all the threads, gone.- Cane Rod Maker

Ken thanks for the mention. I sometimes feel like the ugly stepchild. I'll get a Web site soon, as I see a value to having it. But it could take some time. And I'd rather obtain some new block sets and flanges, in reqular oval and long oval before I take that plunge. I appreciate your words...- Cane Rod Maker

You're welcome Jared I sent you a PM, with some good details for sourcing the correct block size, new or used, and some trickery to work with what you have, if it is close. I'll generalize here, now. Vintage vary, I have 2 #52 blocks AND both are 7-1/8 size stamped. One, the circumference is...- Cane Rod Maker

Yes, @Jlee - I found a block being used as a pocket knife holder, in a antique shop, it's #152 and is 6 inch tall. I swapped him a scrappy block worthy of a fire, that I had in the car. I made that 7 -1/2 curled, boss of the plains, type build in silverbelly with it. I might send it for...- Cane Rod Maker

I had some sort of vision, or dyslexic senior moment I reckon;... I looked back to see the post just now.. No Sir, you buy the size you require and excuse my mis-read. But I'll say yes too, that it applies to 7-3/8 and any "sweet spot" size. Sent from my SM-N900V using Tapatalk- Cane Rod Maker

Finding a pristine 7-5/8 hat, not an easy score. I have several 40s Stetsons and a Borso, and 8 to 10 years back they were rare as hens teeth, and through the roof in price. Now it's outrageous cost, when you find one, that is special in a sense. I'd venture a guess though, that you can get a...- Cane Rod Maker

Cindy I do indeed hear you, on the "events" and will watch for the box. The weather has been super extream, windy and subzero, finally it is letting up a little. Good thing you did not send it last week, it might have blown clear to Jersey, and landed in Ant's yard!! The Western winds were...- Cane Rod Maker

Indeed, when one has desires to fix up and refurbish a hat, it serves a few good purposes, and it keeps your mind happy and in a good place, especially during the dark days of winter, it's all good when you engage your mind into a craft or hobby ! And thanks for the good note, on the build! I...- Cane Rod Maker

Bob thanks for the good words. It's not that many beater hats, to pass on, to end up with a build like this. Discipline yes. However personal desires can overcome that. But the just "say no" attitude needs to come to the forefront of the mind, eBay is addicting. I spent way to much of my life...- Cane Rod Maker
