Going Stingy on us Mike? Nice one.
Joao a great white hat!
Harv, as the young folks would say, I'm down with your Downs (I think that's good)

Nice Stetson Harv.

Late production old factory Borso for me:



Must soften the pinch - the felt is almost too pliable!

 

[hatophile]

More casual today Richard, but still sharp. I rather like the tight pinch on that one.

Today's Hat

I'm wearing my newly bashed new Stetson "something" today. It turned out pretty decent I thought, although it took me a while. I'm amazed when I see really experienced people form a hat. I decided it didn't need my ugly mug peering out from under the brim.

Anyway, this hat came from the Outlet store, and there's no indication either or the band or the tag that was on it what "model" it might be. The felt, however, it thin and feels like "high X" western hats I've handled. The stiffness in the crown is about the same as a western, and was pretty easy to shape. The brim is 2 5/8".

Nice looking hat, Lonnie, I suspect it's a prototype of the Stetsonian, which is a very decent hat, I just got mine yesterday. The bash you put in looks great.
And don't feel bad about pics, most of us ain't Brad Pitt or Johnny Depp here.

Except for me, of course

Sorry Harv, forgot about that.

A few days away from work - hence the more casual approach

The felt on the Borso is incredibly pliable - I can put any pinch in it and return it to open crown without a hint of a crease.

LonnieW - nice find. The rest of us scare folks with our faces - so I wouldn't worry

Stetson - Mayser 3X Beaver Quality Homburg, date stamped 12/27/58

Looks very fine outside and inside for its relatively late birthday - German engineering, no doubt. :eusa_clap

Cool old German Stetson Mayserwegener. Looks good on you.
Nice Stetson find from you as well LonnieW. Good catch.
Richard you make it look so easy. Sweet Borso
Really dig the Downs 1mach1. Reminds me of my dad, I bought him one of those years ago when he was still around.
As requested Harv, here's what I had on most of today

...absolutely alliterative announcement of appreciation.

Ain't it, though?! IT's been said before, but I am functionally alliterate... :heh:

Fine posts and comments throughout the day fellas. I've just got back from Black Sheep Hat Works so swapped the stingy for my new "Reject". Hand dyed beaver rejected by the original commissioner of the hat. I found it impossible to capture the true color, it's a green/gray with matching hand dyed ribbon. My digital camera is in the shop so had to make do with my iPad. A real PIA for selfies.

Alan, Thanks! Great Stetson! What a sweatband!

Dh66, Thanks! Proof of better weather!

Mike, Thanks! Your new BSHW looks fantastic!

ebonysw45, Very nice Akubra Legend!

 

[mikespens]

Steve, the ribbon was inspired by your Borchert Berlin W.

 

[mayserwegener]

Mike, I missed that! Fantastic! You will need to post a side view.

 

[randooch]

Mike, wow! Great shot of you and the hat! Looks like the iPad is your friend, not foe. :eusa_clap

 

[dh66]

Beautiful hat Mike.
