Stetson 7XCB OR on this beautiful morn.
Almost looks to have a heathered finish. Am I seeing things or is it real? It really makes the brim binding and ribbon pop. Very nice!

nice cut!Still working on this Resistol Ridgetop. The original open crown height was just a little over 6 inches. After the reblocking it's now a vertical sided 5 3/4 inches, plus one size larger. It retained its 3 1/4 brim width but to me it didn't look proportionate to the new crown height. I trimmed the brim to 3 inches so now it looks more proportioned for a better balance between crown height and brim width. I'll be keeping it Western.
I visited the custom hat shop Burns Saddlery in Salina Utah a few years back. He had a wall rack filled with capelines. It seemed to me (like Ford's Model T) you could have any colour you wanted as long as it was Dirt. It is a great colour...especially with this light heather effect.Thanks. There is definitely a heather effect going on. The color is called “dirt” and a few companies are making hats from it...I believe American Hat Co. Is one.

Thank you BB! I couldn't have done it without my 'handy dandy Rick Walker brim cutter' @ Phoenix Hat Co.!!!nice cut!
I was joking with Rick about every time I stand over my cutting table preparing to cut a brim I get heart palpitations and sweaty palms.....apparently it is a common phenomenon.Thank you BB! I couldn't have done it without my 'handy dandy Rick Walker brim cutter' @ Phoenix Hat Co.!!!
