Well you did a nice job but not mine, not my loss, I don't care.Stetson #1 conversion for fellow lounger. This one had a big 4 1/8 brim to begin with, trimmed cautiously to 3 1/8. (Sorry Joao) Put matching vintage stock silverbelly ribbons on with wind cord. Request was to keep brim flat .
Great to see you back Manfred! Hope you stick around a while longer. Great conversions everyone!
This is my third time blocking and recreasing this thing. I haven't had a hat to give me as much aggravation as this one has. The crown on this Resistol 3X is way tall. I was finally able to lower it a little and I went with a Diamond crease. I also went to pains to detail the Cross inside the Diamond, a tribute to the faith of Jesus Christ. I sewed on a 6 ply mid ribbon with just a keeper and a tail, keeping it simple. Although I'm not particularly fond of the Diamond crease it worked out in this case....

Joao, it's time you grow up and get used to brim-shaving. You know, it's not like every beard-shaving lounger is whining, everytime your beard is showing in a pictureWell you did a nice job but not mine, not my loss, I don't care.
I can only say the owner had a hat I had interest on. Now I'm have no interest in it nor will comment/like if it will appear here.
I really don't care anymore if you trim a 5" brim hat to 1" and I won't "play that game" again.Joao, it's time you grow up and get used to brim-shaving. You know, it's not like every beard-shaving lounger is whining, everytime your beard is showing in a picture
Love that crown and wide pinches. What size brim? And what color is it? Thx.Well guys I finally got a brown Dobbs Stagecoach. Yes, a Dobbs Stagecoach. Didn't know they existed,but the crown is about 7 inches so I like it. However, I do have two questions. Number one is what do ya'll recommend I clean it with? Kinda smells like a dog. Number two is what size ribbon do ya'll suggest(width)? I'm going 20-30's style like most of Josh's. I'm going to use black but I'm not sure about width. More pics to come. Thank you all! Gracias.
P.s. Already blocked and dented btw.
Medium to dark brown with about 2 1/4 brim.Love that crown and wide pinches. What size brim? And what color is it? Thx.
A brim that high can certainly handle a wide ribbon. 2" min.Medium to dark brown with about 2 1/4 brim.
Yes they do exist.Well guys I finally got a brown Dobbs Stagecoach. Yes, a Dobbs Stagecoach. Didn't know they existed,but the crown is about 7 inches so I like it.
That is sweet! I'd definitely say 2 inch ribbon, if not wider. And trying using some febreeze for the smell. Maybe stuff some dryer sheets in the sweatband for a little while.Well guys I finally got a brown Dobbs Stagecoach. Yes, a Dobbs Stagecoach.
