Nice Fawcett Tommy!

Thanks, I'm going to get my next Fawcett directly from the source!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

I take it off to Joao and his new classic western.
Surpreendente!!!

Thank you. Sim é surpreendente e enorme

Love the Tom Mix look Joao.

Thank you.

NewJack, Joao, Nice Westerns guys!

Thank you Terry

For me on this cloudy a.m. from Central Ohio I'm sporting my early 1960s Royal Stetson thin ribbon. I just reblocked this one and raised the crown height and changed the crease...

You do nice creases.

I liked so much the Tom Mix I had to wear it again. I almost can hide behind it
Sadly broken my sunglasses... I believe to have another pair but can't find them.

Joao, perhaps you might try modifying the crease so that it extends further towards the back of the crown. Somewhere between what you have and the example below might be worth a look?

 

[SRDublin]

Alan...did you say "love the cool days of June"? It's already 97 here in South Carolina!! I need to go where felt's can be worn year round...

I don't know. I'm enjoying the Gus/Tom Mix crease on this hat. It's the only one I have with this crease.
Maybe if I find another Stagecoach I might try a crease like that.
Love your hat!

Test driving a new Stratoliner this afternoon. 70 years in a narrow box... the brim will require a little relaxation.

 

[hatophile]

Wow, what a beauty! Something about a pristine vintage hat...

 

[ingineer]

Alan;
Simply stunning, I think it's perfect as is.
Great colour, unusual find, esp with the box.
Are you going to add the medallion?

Thanks, guys, for the comments on the Playboy from yesterday.
T Jones, you would be surprised how little I shelled out for it, so don't give up hope that one will turn up one of these days.

We're heading into another warm spell so the straws are going to get some head time.

Penney's Marathon

 

[DesertDan]

Holy Toledo Alan!
You must share the tale of how you came by such an incredible find.

Everyone is looking shipshape today, well done Gents!

My new Falcon Park came in last week. It took a bit of a beating in shpment so I need to apply a bit of steam and tweak it a bit but nothing too dramatic. I'm very pleased with it and I'll post some pics as soon as I can.

 

[alanfgag]

Thanks guys.

Not much of a story, Dan... the hat was listed clearly and saw some interest. It just turned out better than described.

Richard, I have three pins. They'll have to circulate until I can find another.

 

[bowlerman]

Some incredible lids today! Man.

G. Durand, I"m always envious of a Playboy like that one.

Harv- thanks for the nod. That cattleman is perfect on the OR.

I'd feel like the victor wearing that Victor, Perry! Beatiful.

tommyk-- I"m speechless. what a great hat. Is that a midnight or navy ribbon? Whatever it is, looks superb against the Sahara felt.



Alan, both the Borso and the Strat are outstanding. I love the sweatband on the Borsalino. My Borso Ghiaccio has a similar one-- so comfy.

T Jones-- that crease is the epitome of perfection, buddy! Nice work!

Today, beaver brand 5x "spcl silver."

[1mach1]

Alan, what a score! That Strat is a masterpiece!
g.d, I really like that marathon. What a ribbon!
Jeff, I like the dimensions on the BB, man. Also, the color is perfect for the warmer weather.
Rag and Bone, stunning St. Regis. Awesome tie and vest combo to boot.
David, I would love to have an Art Lite. Beautiful one you got there. I'm diggin' that wide ribbon!

CD on this stormy day.

Sharp VS DAve.
Looking good in the CD Harv.
OR today.

 

[Orangegrad]

g.durand - wonderful Marathon. Looks brand new.
Rag and Bone Man - very nice ensemble. Impeccable.
David - I didn't realize Art was making Art-Lites in his bleached felts. Very nice summer felt.
Harv - The BGCD is great any day - and especially in stormy weather
Perry - always nice to see your smiling face


I've been wearing this one all week. Modern Borso Alessandria.
