Thank you very much, Eric! I really appreciate such comments coming from someone with a collection of such fine vintage & custom hats as you have! As a 7-5/8 I don't often have a chance at many vintage & no heather felt hats so I am really going to enjoy this one. This hat represents the era & these are the specs that I like most.
The business that was finished was a solution to a problem, 2 fine hats with some issue that prevented me from exercising them regularly. A super fine Champ milan that was a bit too stingy even for me, and a Royal Stetson in a rare color that had some unsightly stains and finish problems on the crown. Both hats were shades of green but the obvious solution escaped me for a long time. That solution was Bob.
Before pics taken by Bob, bottom pic is of the 2 hats, top the finished result. There are more of these on his Facebook page
The pleasing to me result
The inside is all original Champ
