    What Hat Are You Working On Today?

    I guess I'll add my details. Like Jim I cut the sweat leather to measured length, though I angle cut the ends a bit more dramatically, as much as 12 degrees on thin, soft leather (remember, I'm also making some myself). I cut one end of the reed flush and eyeball 1/2"- 9/16" extra on the other...

    I'm wearing a very nice late 40s early 50s Pilgrim today. I think the brand emerged then and came out of a Lee shop. It's an extremely nice hat with great hand.

    Mint and cheap is a contradiction in terms. You can listen to some wheelguns spin and learn how to crack a safe.

    I agree, Brent, particularly in these times. My own activity has been more quick in and out than it used to be so sometimes I think I must have just missed people. Both Ken and Doc seemed absent for a little while and I was becoming concerned.

    I love those images, Steve. You have a unique niche here. I always enjoy what you share. It opens my mind to a different thread of hat history.

    They do. I was really pretty depressed yesterday but today I was considering taping a push stick to my forearm for table saw work. I'm optimistic, and worst case scenario I might have been born without use of it Up until now I'm an extremely resilient SOB. There were pirates that had one leg...

    Kevin of YouTube infamy has a good means of perking up that flange with a little steam and finger pressure. You should try it. I've restored snap that way more than once.

    Besides excellent hats, Eric, your posts always make me feel like I'm strolling along beside you conversing with you on our walk. Except when there's too much snow. Then I'm thinking, that's Minnesota and he's crazy.

    Another el-cheapo I have plans for. Inside of that grey sock is a splinter left hand. Trying to keep the splint clean and pretty. I believe I have a fracture in a wrist bone but because of a severe wrist shatter close to 40 years ago the x-rays were inconclusive. Setting an appt. with a hand...

    This morning I put on one of my no name thrift store straws. This one has a nice, vented weave but a super cheap fabric sweatband with a zig-zag stitch along the bottom to create a real sweatband look. This is one of my collection destined for remodelling, improved inside and outside trim. This...

    Is the Whippet oxblood? I'm never sure about colors. They look a bit different between my phone, laptop and the bigger monitor connected to my docking station. Excellent look, Michael, with the color palette head to toe. Great, soft overcoat too.

    I have never sprung for or even used a Jiffy steamer. I noticed that they also sell a garment steamer with the same #s and guessed the hat steamer puts out gentle steam like garment steamers do, and have been using modified garment steamers myself. I've watched YouTube's with high pressure steam...
