I have one. Timing is fine. Problem is needles. The needle for this machine was not widely used, if I remember correctly it is a 46x11. Nobody makes them. There is no cross reference number in any line.
Looks to be a coconut palm braid. I would go with RBH on this one and just wet it down a bit and see if it will take a new shape. It can be professionally reblocked if it is indeed a coconut, but you can almost buy a new one for what you would have in it at that point.

I liked that one as well, there will be a review on that one soon, though I may do a couple of others first. There are about three really good books out there.

Mens Hats
By: Giuliano Folledore
I recieved a copy of this book for Christmas and remember a few people commenting on it. After reading it I felt compelled to write about it. This will be the first in a series of reviews about the books in my collection.
It seems that Mr. Folledore is...
I will be in San Antonio the First weekend in April. My wife has a conference and I am coming down either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. I can bring some samples if you like.

I have one or two stetson 100 go through my hands a year. I pick them up in antique stores and renovate them. I make them into something I want to were and then someone ends up buying them off my head. I usually sell them for between $150 and $300.

I made that post not to whine, but because I have talked with a few people who seemed genuinly conserned. Apparently I am not supposed to be honest and tell people what is going on. I have gotten emails that were pretty upsetting.
So, I am running behind do to personal problems.
The thing...

The Pinnacle is a dress hat, thinner and softer felt.
If they cost the same as they did previously, they will be about $150.
They would all be reblocked shooting for a 5 1/2 inch open crown, possibly slightly taller. That all depends on the individual hats.
A bound edge would be an...
The colors that they came in were Black, grey, and brown. Please give an order of preference. Although there were a lot more black and grey at the time.
If there is enough interest here I will start a thead in the Merchants section and will post available sizes after I get back

Last time I was at the stetson/resistol factory store there were several Stetson Pinnacles (the beaver version of the temple). I will be back in Dallas toward the end of next week and was thinking about buying one and taking it apart to reblock, fix what ever may be wrong with it, and the put...
