What Hat Are You Working On Today?
As recommended by BellfastBoy, I upped the pouncing paper to 1000 grit. Ive been using a semi flexible sanding backer ( 3x9") and sanding by hand instead of using the vibratory sander. Have a couple passes now and its really starting to smooth the surface out and look a lot more evened up ... -
Ebay Hats: Victories, Defeats, Gripes & Items of Interest
Its got a couple little spots that could have been cut more neatly, but theyre fixable. Ime seriously thinking of digging through a pile of brim trimmings and see if I can graft on some more brim. If covering with a bound edge, Im thinking I can tack enough on to get to about 2-1/4 . A careful... -

Already salvaged the feathered hatband for my brothers Moose River I gave him for his birthday ( He also got a Stetson Weekender and he loved the feathered hatband on it). I put the original simple leather Moose River strap on this one. Already found a good home for it! -

Are you ready to laugh and cry? DANG! Someone should have their scissors taken away! Nice little mint green Stetson Gay prince that someone cut down to a 1-3/4" brim. Too bad as its a nice little hat. Guess they wanted a Trilby really really badly lol. The seller DID say it had been cut... -

What Hat Are You Working On Today?
Started the day with a little brim trimming. Got rid of the jagged edge it came with and now has a smooth 2-7/8" brim edge... definitely more civilized. Did a little pouncing and ironing so its a lot smoother surface. Will see if ive got any really fine sandpaper and load up a little vibratory... -

What Hat Are You Working On Today?
FINALLY got around to starting big project... my first full hat build! Today I have to see how close I could get a raw rabbit cape to actually start looking like an actual hat. Took about 2 hrs of steaming and stretching, working, and smoothing to get to this point. Shooting for a 5-1/2" crown... -

It was all dust covered and silverbelly looking when I got it in. It had lots of staining so I removed the liner and sweat and did a white gas bath... Absolutely blew my mind when it got clean and the colors popped out! I was thrilled for a $50 hat. Sweat and liner cleaned up nicely. Its a... -

Its definately unusual... Hat felt is actually a greenish tint and the ribbon and binding have a rose colored tint. Its a nice change from silverbelly. I LOVE abnormal hats lol. There is some fading on the ribbon, and Ive already decided that if ever necessary, Ill replace with a new rose... -
