Western, anyone?

Thanks, Joe. I’m coming around to black hats, but black felt in this heat is not a good idea.

As a Florida boy I can concur on the heat and humidity issue. I wasn’t too big on the black hats either. Went from 1 to more than I care to count in the last several months. Only need one more...... And the one after that.... For sure.... I mean it... this time.

Black hats are excellent but you're right, not in this heat. I'm waiting for fall weather to begin wearing my new Resistol.

I found an Akubra Territory wanting to copy a hat of Tim's (Alley Kat) hat when I make the time for it. I think the Territory will be a good candidate for something like Tim's.

I think this Alley Kat hat is one of the best looking hats I've seen here at The Lounge...

I can't remember who owns the hat but they must no longer be active here on FL. I like the hat a lot too.

Thanks, Mark. I’m on the lookout for more of these big Borsalinos made for the religious market for conversation to westerns. The OR conversion that VS did for me came out great too.

I found this short interesting......1948. More of a 30's style for us in the US at that time........

I love that bow/ribbon nestled around the base of that gorgeous crown. Those colors really sing.

TY I bought the hat band on Amazon from Panama Hats Direct. I will break her in this next winter.

I’ve seen those ribbons from Panama hats Direct. It looks like on their site they intend them for you to be able to swap out on their hats. Are the open ended with some type of a fastener... kinda like a pug. Or how do they work?

Wearing my latest refurb project. 1950s era 3X Beaver Quality Stetson Western. This hat was actually abused and worked in throughout its life. I purposely left some of the staining to preserve some of this hat's life history and to give it something of a 'worn lived in look'....

They come together at the bow and you either have to hot glue it or sew it. I just used hot glue.Yeah they have 8 or 10 different colors.
