Art's work in the Jungle

[fedoralover]

This was a Dobbs Open Road style fedora, the tannins from the leather sweatband had leached through the felt resulting in a discoloration all the way around the bottom of the crown. Art saved the hat by putting a wider ribbon on it which covered it up.

A wider shot to show off my bamboo.

Simple solution to a complicated problem

 

[Marc Chevalier]

A clever solution.

That is an amazing hat. Great color and a common sense solution. Congratulations on a awesome hat.

Also, as I've said before, great stand of bamboo.

 

[scotrace]

Yes but he let that tall green fungus grow out of control.


Nice hat !

Great photo as well as a great hat. Looks just like Rudyard Kipling in India somewhere.

I'll have to post my fixed Bowler and Blue/green Stetson. Art works wonders.

We are lucky here at the lounge since we have the best hat makers in the world.

Buy the hat not the story...

I don't think I want to see the mower!

Pay no attention to this instruction.

Great hat!, just don't let the Tiki Bar crowd see that bamboo.

Beautiful Lid Amazing Bamboo

Fedoralover,
I can understand covering up the stain with a wider ribbon, but I can't figure out how you grow Bamboo in the Great Northwest... seems like totally the wrong climate.:eusa_doh:
Nice jungle hat !!!

Nice jungle hat !!!

Well, there are over 1200 known varieties and hundreds will grow here. Here's a different one, (and a different hat) that doesn't get as big but is a real beauty.

Looks like your jungle has grown a bit since you last posted pictures standing out there. Looks like a cozy place to escape and take a nap.
That and nice looking lids to boot.

Cheers!

The question is, how do you keep invasive bamboo from
taking over your yard and your neighbor's? If you know
of some species that grow like that but aren't invasive,
PLEASE PM me.

Nice hats, as usual, BTW. That Open Road fedora-ized nicely.

Nice looking lid....
Nice looking

Some of you may not be aware that the state of Washington has five climate zones, ranging from a small patch of sand dune desert to northern rain forest on the Olympic peninsula. I'm not surprised to see bamboo there - but I'm stunned at the size of it!
