I've had this 1930's Barbisio Velour for awhile then sold it to Sue and bought it back from her with a project in mind - turning it into a hat like the character "JJ" wore in "The Sting"

Here is the final product:

Terrific transformation, Garrett!

Deep Eggplant color with a silver ribbon and black liner

Garrett, that final product is beautiful. The eggplant and silver are spectacularly understated and elegant. Really impressive! :eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Desperately needs a re-blocking and cleaning. Brushed out lots of dust but seems to bulge out at the base in width making it nearly a wide oval and nearly a size larger than its label. Feathers could be fresher and this is actually a hat that is designed for the feathers. 2-1/4" brim with double rows of stitching. Olive Green.

A nice looking lid...

Stetson 3X Western Wide(ish) Ribbon

3-1/4" brim modest 5-1/2-3/4" crown. Old-style frayed ribbon but probably mid-50's. Might look better as an open crown "Boss of the Plains" style. Glad it had the label, If it had been measured with the half box of tissues under the sweatband it would have been off by more than a size...

New member, new Hat Howdy!

Hi,
My name is Samuel and here's my new lid, which I bashed myself over my tea kettle. Grey/blue Royal Steston Stratoliner.
