    Post New Hats Here!

    A very difficult one to beat, and it is the hat you ought to wear if It was 50 years ago snd all of them were variations of the same identity. I really think that one is you.

    The Conversion Corral

    It seems your oval can be somewhat determined at flanging. Conforming hats is done by creating conformed band blocks, so standardized blocks and flanges are still used.

    The Conversion Corral

    I recently saw someone on Etsy is selling blocks made with a 3D printer, from a composite plastic of some sort. He claims the material is environmentally friendly. (?) They seemed to be copies of actual blocks. Prices seemed close to those of vintage blocks though.

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    I beat her to the Mayser as well. I had to shovel the porch to erase the box print. (Should I have shoveled the walk too?) Nice hat, and I'm impressed with the shipping box from Greece. It almost makes me feel bad about those Greek boys leaving home jokes I used to tell. (Don't worry. I'm over...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    We dropped my wife's car off for service Thurs. night. I said she could drive my van Friday because i had shop work to get done. She didn't want to drive the beast, so said she would just take the light rail train ... until we woke up to 4" of fresh snow. Then she called her boss and asked to...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    It arrived yesterday And it is BIG. The size tag is gone, so no dating help there, but 7 7/8 is chalked inside of the sweat, and also written small on the price tag, which was $145, for a 4XXX. Then, to avoid confusion, somebody also scrawled it on the back of the sweat with felt tip. Pristine...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    i used it by squeezing out some gel on paper, then applying it to the torn edges of the felt with a toothpick. The tear was a separation, with fuzzy edges, so I glued it without much prep. I think on a cleaner cut I would use a needle to make the edges more ragged, for more bonding surface, so...

    Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest

    I bumped an old thread, then started adding to it experimenting with "mending" felt. I've been meaning to update it, becausemy thinking on some of it has changed. Since then I found a new Superglue product, their "Ultra Gel", which is supposed to stay flexible. I used it on a tear without even...

    What hat are you waiting for today?

    Also my first Mayser, which should at least fit my head without another hat beneath it. I can resist eBay proper, but picclick sucks me in. Nope. I saw it and figured my hats needed a hat.

    It looks good to me! Now what's this brown/red you're speaking of? I need some maroon ribbon, but everything I buy has too much fruit in it.
