Post New Hats Here!
My new custom Tumwater fedora arrived this afternoon from Tony. Now comes the difficult part of bashing it just the right way. Crudely started. Specs: 6" open crown, 2 3/8" raw edge brim with a row of decorative stitching. 22 linge navy ribbon with a triple bow.- B.J. Hedberg

What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
It's been a while since I actually snapped a photo and logged in, but if it comes through, today I was wearing my reblocked former Stetson New York. Never did get the brim finished quite right.- B.J. Hedberg

The Conversion Corral
Not a significant conversion, but I wanted to turn this silverbelly Stetson Premiere Stratoliner I picked up as a souvenir on a trip into something more to my liking. I had intended to cut out the sweatband and reblock it slightly taller to take the bring width down to 1 ¼”, but the starting...- B.J. Hedberg

Yet Another My Custom Tailor Suit
Thanks. The hat is a custom by Tony at Tumwater hats. 2 1/8" brim. 6" or slightly taller crown (open). A creamy off white (silverbelly?). Definitely the best hat in my collection.- B.J. Hedberg

Post New Hats Here!
Stetson New York LE – Excellent Quality. Actual 5 ¾” open crown. 2 ¾” welted brim. (Stats state 5 ½” and 2 5/8” respectively). Phantom Grey. I’m not used to wearing such a wide brim, but I figured I’d give it a try. Given the crown on my last Stetson, the Nostalgia, shrank considerably, the...- B.J. Hedberg

The Conversion Corral
Decided I needed a new panama hat for summer, so I set about building one using a Stetson center dent I picked up that looked like it would be straight enough and have enough brim to re-work. First I stripped it of its ribbon and cloth sweatband, before soaking it through and through and...- B.J. Hedberg

A.C. Gilbert M1384 KOLDAIR Oscillating Fan
Actually had some free time to assemble some photos yesterday evening, and thought I’d finally get around to posting some after-restoration shots since it seems I had forgotten to. I’ve been working on assembling and reassembling this one for some time, as the motor seems to bind up now, but at...- B.J. Hedberg

Fedoras afield
Out exploring St. Paul’s old brickyards in my brown Tumwater yesterday. Thank goodness I didn’t have a backpack and walking stick or I never would have been able to go past the sign.- B.J. Hedberg

The Conversion Corral
Purchased a Sunbody hat (hg35f) for fun a few weeks back, and proceeded to re-block it on my Hatshaper. Ironed a new brim break in and straightened the sides before adding a wide sweatband and ribbon. At the end of the day I gained about an inch in height, but only lost 1/4” off the 3 1/2”...- B.J.

Fedoras afield
I don't get to drop by often, but since I had a pic from a recent adventure I figured I would post it. Been wearing my brown Tumwater around a lot lately. Here I am visiting an ancient Mayan ruin, or maybe just the rundown Hidden Falls in St. Paul. One of the two. This Tumwater has really...- B.J. Hedberg

Akubra Overload
Reblocked and spot-cleaned my well-used campdraft this weekend to get it ready for vacation. It really is a great hat to play around with. Nice and soft once you break it in, but it still holds its shape well. Needs some ribbon rework still though. I’m just really a fan of the Akubras...- B.J. Hedberg

Been a long while since I’ve been by, but today I broke out my modified Worth & Worth panama for the first time this year, so I figured I’d post a pic. Keep looking good everybody.- B.J. Hedberg
