Wow... three winners in a row, hats and photographs both. Love your morning shots David and Ale.
Mike, the inner peace shows. Namaste!

Great lid, great boxes.
Resistol after trimming 5/8-inch from the brim and reshaping crown (see original below). Hat is like new, with original $20.00 price tag inside. I'm guessing 1980's. Blurriness compliments of 2nd double espresso.
Thanks, Jeff! I made a high-tech trammel with cardboard and a pen, used scissors to cut, then finished the edge with a 150-grit sanding sponge, using Josh's rounding trick to make the brim look thinner. The whole operation took all of 20 minutes, including the steam/reshape. Must've been the caffeine.Randall-- I think you nailed those proportions with your brim trim. It really looks great!
Thank you, Manfred!Randall, very good job done. Looks really good in new shape!
Randall, look how calm and peaceful Mike is. Go easy on the coffee and brims.

Still playing catch-up on the forum. :eusa_doh:
Alan: Thanks for taking me back to D.C. for a visit with your beautiful photo set. I spent four glorious years there twenty-five years ago, and your pictures unleashed a torrent of wonderful memories. The Cherry Blossoms should be blooming just now...
David, I like your Borsalino. That's one that's on my wish list.
Thin is in!!!
Great Alessandria David!
Mike and David, two stunning Hats today, looks really good!

David: What a beautiful family portrait! I would have taken the cap off myself if I were on that bridge, as I would be loathe to pull an 'Alejandro' :eeek:

It's really not very difficult. You might even find it to be a pleasant task.Wow Randall! In the time it took me to take some more pics of my Dorer, so I could ask to whom you sent yours, you produced this harrowing tale of bravery and knives! I'm not going to try that on this one, but I have a couple of others that certainly need some trimming. But first, this Dorer needs more of a shaping in the front--squaring up the brim creases to today's "rodeo" shape than trimming. I guess I could try that with some steam first before sending it off to the knife.
