    Hollywood brim

    I think this might be one of those situations where one thinks, "Gee, I just can't get this hat to shape the way I want it to. It must be that I don't possess the 'touch'." Then, one gets ahold of a true, high quality vintage fedora and discovers that it is no problem at all.

    What are you wearing today??

    "Master of Time, Space and Dimension" Well, it looks good as a title on a business card anyway. Kinda' hard to fit it on the parking space bumper though. :D

    Moth Damage Repair

    Cool. You're welcome, Jabos! I failed to mention that in the case of your hat, I built up the felt a little higher and then carefully sanded it back to level. It's almost like doing a drywall patch - just totally different. :p

    Moth Damage Repair

    I recently worked on a hat for a fellow Lounger. I've copied my own text from prior and have added in photos of the process below.

    Panama Hat Thread

    Note that what you're really trying to achieve is a stretch of the outside circumference of the brim. Carefully work the brim edge in order to flatten it some and relax the flanging some without flattening it too much or overly stressing the straw. Keep dampening it as you go because it dries...

    Re-Blocking a Panama

    Hmmmmmm.... Will your choice of ribbon cover this area eventually? If so, then you don't need to worry about getting it perfect. I'm an amateur at this but I have an idea what I'd do if it were my score. It's hard to write how I'd handle it. I do have the benefit of an optimo block in my...

    What the heck am I saying!?

    While we had IndyCop over, my gal Nicki was taking candid photos as I showed different hats and blabbed on about them. Well, this 'flattering' photo caught me in mid-blab and in a classic pose. I think it needs a caption or one of those cartoon word balloons but I'm not sure what it would...

    Panama Hat Thread

    IndyCop and family came to visit the HPG household today. Indy brought along a Panama Bob hat that was distorting due to his long oval head shape so I fixed it up for him. Befores: (Oh no, I posted a pic of IC doing what could only be described as smiling. He's going to have to kill me...

    What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

    Indy brought along a Panama Bob hat that was distorting due to his long oval head shape so I fixed it up for him. Befores: (Oh no, I posted a pic of IC doing what could only be described as smiling. He's going to have to kill me now!) I put in a Hat Jack to simulate the distortion and then...
