    I'm scratching my head about that felt test, B. Did you miss lunch or something? Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

    You really need to check out the What Hat Are You Wearing Today thread, John. You will see masters preening their hats from every direction.

    Shaping a fedora?

    Brent hates to see a crown shortened. I'm not saying that would in any way color the suggestions .he gives you. I like a tall crown as well, high in front with a pronounced rake. Depending on how rounded and tapered the original blocking is, you also might be able to leave the break alone, but...

    That was a great start to that episode. The final episode soundtrack was especially brilliant. Marty Robins, then Badfinger.

    Exactly how long ago was it that you said you were waiting for your first vintage hat? The man's on fire!

    I apologize for my abruptness as well. Maybe I've become jaded by too much time on the internet, but there are people who for some reason get their jollies inserting themselves into forums just to sow seeds of strife. I'm probably too quick to suspect people, and apologize. Sent from my...

    I would pull the trigger if it will fit you. (Oh wait, I might pull the trigger even if I knew it would never fit me.) Did you see more inside pictures? Leather can help nail down dating to a degree. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

    Scrunching can make the fabric separate in strips. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

    I've also blown out the back seam in sweats with the stretcher, which usually actually means that the old leather tears at the stitch line on one side or the other. Worse, I popped the reed out of a ferule once, then the lid wants to shrink even smaller! Live and learn. I won't do THAT again. I...

    I better do some of that. I tend to just rip the trimmings out, figuring I can reblock it to fit. I now have a backlog of such hats, because my acquisition and fabrication of blocks and flanges has not kept pace with my aquisition of hats in need of work. Sent from my LGMP260 using Tapatalk

    Longer hair hats that I own all seem to be softer in dress hat weight, from velour on. I have a fuzzy Beaver Brand Western though, with a cattleman crease and rolled brim, which is pretty firm. Stiffening it must have been tricky. I have a "reverse conversion" project that I started for my wife...

    I wear some 7s that way. 7 3/8s with a broken reed fit too.
