View attachment 303539 60s Kevin McAndrew Gray long hair conversion. It had a badly tapered round crown and a raw edge curled brim with a black ribbon. Really ugly, imho.
She got a new life and now sports a 2” light green petersham ribbon with 13 pleats in the gilled bow. Bad luck?
I better stick a 4 leaf clover in one of the pleats!
4 3/4” crown at front crease. 2 3/4” raw edge brim.

Thanks, Bob, Steven and Scooterz!Nice! 13 is a lucky number in our family. Really liking this one Randall.
How is 13 lucky for y’all’s Fam, Bob?
Don’t tell me there was 13 of ya!
This Knox 25 was nice enough, but I have a few of these thin ribboned hats and I felt it needed something else to get worn more.

I took inspiration from this Mossant hat I saw on auction and asked my hatter to replicate the bow design. She did.

Ha,ha ... oh my ... no. It started with my mother-in-law who was born on Friday the 13th and always considered the number "good". She even incorporated it into her custom license plate.
Excellent workhttps://www.ebay.com/itm/333869059848
View attachment 310984 Hey, everybody!
This link will show what this hat used to look like.
It was a complete clean, block/flange, and rebuild.
Added a campaign bow, trolley, rolled brim edge and US Calvary crown style crease.
Also had to stretch it as it had shrunk from its original size of 7 3/8 to
7 1/8!! I’ve only seen one other hat shrink that far.
Guess this hat also belongs on the eBay victories thread. View attachment 310985 View attachment 310986 View attachment 310987 View attachment 310988
