John also gets some imported, European and south American IIRC, felts in both rabbit and beaver. You can tell the quality in your hands if you are ever in his shop, and those felts understandably command higher prices in the finished hats. -

Thank you for the insight, Alan. Great information. -
What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?
Off to get more camp fuel after a pretty thorough cleaning yesterday with nothing more than distilled white vinegar, full strength and a toothbrush. A good brushing with a hat sponge and horsehair brush after the felt dried. Champ, grey felt, silver ribbon/bow treatment. Thanks to @Wesslyn... -

I love this one, and that twisted knot in the bow makes me crazy.... AND the fray as well??? A favorite of mine. I'm having a very hard time deciding between this Tankersley and the Rodolfo ribbon on my dark moss.... not enough money for both, if I want to live to enjoy the hat, LOL. General... -

"Uncontested - The Champ"
That's what I was wondering, the age that is. It looks like a 50s hat, but the liner was taped in place with fabric tape rather than sewn in, and it looks original... yet it has an unreeded sweat, which I thought was phased out by the 50s. It's a mystery perhaps some of our resident experts... -
STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
I'm getting ready to drop an old Champ into the naptha bath, but I pulled out the taped-in liner and soaked it in oxyclean, a little laundry soap and white vinegar. It lessened the staining a little... I also took a tooth brush and scrubbed a bunch of stains on the crown of the hat, and it... -
STEP BY STEP NAPTHA BATH
I wasn't able to leave you a PM yet. I have used Bob Jesse to clean up a 50s Royal Stetson for me, and Mike Miller to clean up and convert an old Stratton western to a more usable outback style hat and both did a great job and did so very rea$onably. -

"Uncontested - The Champ"
A new to me Champ that is different than the other two I have. This one has different felt; thicker and a bit softer. This is a dirty one, with mothing as well. Lots of stains to try and clean with naptha, etc. The curiosity to me is the unreeded sweat (usually signifying an older hat... -

I really like your new Gannon in pecan/ashen green. Big fan of the double winged bow, and double highlights that you and Michael create. Que maravilloso mi hermano!
