Post New Hats Here!

[Spats McGee]

OK, I finally got a chance to take a quick iPhone snap and upload it. Here goes.

I love the color, and I figured I would immediately remove the feather, but the feather was so understated and complementary (with bits of bluish-gray that aren't as evident in the photo) that I think I'm going to leave it in.

:eusa_clap I'd say you've got a winner there, Mr. E Train! :eusa_clap

Tony B. " The re-blocking work"

Ahhhhh....I posted a thread and meant to put this hat in here. Sorry for the duplicate.

A couple of months ago I took a gamble on a Forstadt Platinum Beaver hat, the hat was small on me [7 5/8] but if it was in good shape my intention was to send it to out to Tony B. for a re-blocking to my size, a 7 3/4 and to get ribbon work done to it.

Well, here is the fantastic transformation of that hat .

The link to the album is below. I hope I did this right and you are able to view the before and after pictures of this hat.

Thanks for a great hat Tony ! I am very pleased with your work.

Tim

HOT HOT HOT. Only thing missing is explicit shots
of the liners/sweatbands. And there I thought porn was prohibited here!

lol lol
I wanted to do the inside to the hats too. My sister in law's time for me was very limited, yet so generous. I have shots of the liner and sweats but they are my crapy ones

Thank you, Sir.

No information to be found on the maker, whatsoever [huh]

[Mr. Paladin]

Got this one in the mail today. Very nice hat except for a green stain at the front pinch and a smaller green mark on rear of crown.

Nice buler! Going to try the K2R on the spots?

 

[Mr. Paladin]

Remember this?

My sister in law, Natalie Gruppuso, is a professional Photorapher. I'd asked her to shoot my hats a while a go but because of her schedule and time we never got around to doing the project. After a long wait here is my small collection of hats. I wanted them pro. shot to get the colors right. After selling a bunch this I decided to keep.
Make it a full screen and click "show info" (uper right corner) to see details about each hat.

Already have Mr. P. I took some pics that I'll put in the K2R thread. The spot on the rear of the crown is gone after K2R and some brushing. The front spot that was much darker has lightened quite a bit. Its getting one more K2R treatment today.

I love this hat. My first nice vintage fedora that actually fits my head. Dobbs Daily:

Lol hey dude, I don't mean to pry, but did you buy that on E-bay. If so I think you outbid me at the last second and grabbed it lol. Congrats anyways, looks a lot nicer on you than it would have looked on me :eusa_clap

My first vintage hat, a Stetson St. Regis, came in today (bought from another member of the lounge, so it may be familiar.)

I picked it up at The Village Hat Shop in San Diego. Check out their site. They have a lot of cool toppers.
