A repost from last year. This is a Knox Stagecoach that I refurbished and it's one big hat with a 4 1/2 inch brim width, including the 1/4 inch pencil curl, and a 7 inches tall open crown height. It was a crushed up whopper jawed mess when I first got it...
Before:
restored to its original open crown shape and the brim ironed out:
After: Montana Pinch with a Mule Kick in the back, and a new matching ribbon and bow work:
Brim reshaped:
On the head:
Vernon Dalhart, "Jesse James" (1925)
Superb refurb, Terry.
My favourite refurb of The Ballad of Jesse James is this one. The Boss rocks it, the banjo owns it
