Thanks BB! It starts out as a 3-1/8 brim. This one is pretty good on the sides but I'd like to lower & tighten up the curl in front.Great pic showing how nice that brim really is.
Great looking hat Jack. I love the kettle curl.1995 Worth - Walden 15X early this morn for coffee but the sun got high, bright & hot pretty quick.

Looking good Yahoody.Was in the local farm supply store last week. First break in our 100+ temps in a month or so. It was cool, in the '80s, over cast, and the first time I had wore a felt in months. Cashier commented on my hat. I thanked him. Then he added I likely wouldn't be wearing it the rest of the week.
11:30 am, 62F now, 43% humidity and a 5 mph wind. Smokey over cast. Still in a beaver, silver belly. And enjoying every minute of it. Way things go, it may not last long! But for now no heat and few flies. Odd for August here. As was 100+ in June and July.

Looks great both open and creased. Excellent!This No. 1 has been a lot of fun to play with. Takes a dry crease as well as any 7X CB of mine, well, maybe not the Canadian but it pops in and out of an OC easily. My thoughts are to leave it OC but I’m enjoying trying different creases. HJ sent me a Miller Stockman catalog listing for a Tommy Grimes and I really like the crease. Put a quick dry one in for a look.

Good job with it too!Put a quick dry one in for a look.
Thanks Rick!Damn that's a cool hat!
I was able to save this '50s era (?) 3X Stetson Beaver Quality Western. The hat was a heavily soiled and sweat stained crushed up mess. The Lounger who gave it to said it had a story to tell. I reblocked it and clean it up just enough to get the nasty off of it, being careful to preserve the hat's story. I reused everything that came with it. Although faded and looking worn. The felt on this is still very nice.

Thank you Yahoody!Well done! And nice save on a very nice hat.

A classic for sure!
Good job with it too!
Hell of a hat. Looks killer either way.This No. 1 has been a lot of fun to play with.
