Thank you sir. I took it this morning and dropped off at a local hatter here in Nashville, to get the new sweat. She said she thought she might need to remove the ribbon and the liner. On the one hand, I hate to cut the liner stitching, on the other hand, I will have the excuse to go ahead and...
Thank you sir. I wasn't sure how the crease would look, and not real sure I will keep it that way. But I liked the one Audie had, and in looking at some of the old catalogs, I saw this similar crease on hats of that time frame. It seemed appropriate. Once I get a new sweat, and start wearing it...
Another new old hat for me. Another 7X I picked up earlier this week. I think it a very late 60's or earlier 70's, as I saw a 3x on "the bay", that had the same crest on the liner, that had a sales receipt dated 1971. Anyway, it's a nice hat and only had a couple small stains. The felt is...
Yesterday morning, I cleaned up this 3X I posted a few days ago, and shaped the crown. I had seen an old Audie Murphy western last weekend, and kinda liked the hat he was wearing, so decided to try and copy it. Didn't come out quite like his, but I thought it came out okay. Unfortunately, just...
Thank you sir. I wondered about the "BEAVER" with the 3 X's, as I don't recall seeing one in the threads, but could have missed it. The sweat is pretty bad, so I was wondering if by wearing it, it would get so bad it couldn't be read, so I think I will do what you suggest, and go ahead and have...
I posted this hat today in "New hat" thread, but wanted to put here as well since it is a 3X! This is how I received it, and once I get it cleaned up and reshaped, I'll try and think to post pics then as well.
Okay, I received the 3X I talked about last week in the "Ask A Question" thread. It came in a cheap box and the crown was crushed, but I think I can work it out. The liner does appear to be the oil skin one, but you see what you think. The sweat is flaking badly, so not sure if I should wear it...
I may have described the keyhole tag incorrectly, Bama. It is the black keyhole with the manila border. It is difficult to tell the liner material, because of the blurred pic. It does look like the oilskin, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed. But we will find out here before too long, and I...
