About to run to a meeting so I'll get caught up on all the fine lids during lunch! Today is a '50's Dobbs Golden Coach hommie sort of day:

Thanks for the encouragement, Moe. Just how many attempts did you make before you first made one that looked like a hat?

Smashing hat.
Well, there were a few failed refurbs that were a little discouraging yet very informative.
My first hat from a blank took several tries to get it to look even close to wearable.
All my equipment is homemade, other than a flange. My first attempts at making blocks were using sealing foam, with limited success. I then tried my hand at making them from wood. I was a beginner at that, too. As my fledgling woodworking skills produced better gear, my hatmaking results also improved. I still can't sew a nice looking straight stitch on my sweatbands, though...thank goodness for wide ribbons!:)

@Celia - Love the domed brim. That's awesome.
@Redfokker - The Excellent Strat was made for you. Good to see your smiling face.
@Miamibruno - Loving the Bone Gannon. The Gus Miller I got over the summer is Bone. You'll find you can wear it with about anything.
Everbody else shining like the stars you are, today. Great hat show and it isn't even noon, EST.

Dalt-O-Liner today

Thank you very much! Good choice of hat again today, I really like that colour on you. I never really appreciated the typical American high crown / narrow ribbon combination before coming here, I guess because I'm more used to European styles, and because my own face is too long for high crowns. I realise now how good it can actually look :)

And why pray tell, do you ask?

Just playing on Jimmy Buffet, "A Pirate Looks at 40."

Where in North Canton? I'm in Plain Township.

He's north of town. I think the street is called Brittany. If I'm right, you're not too far from him.

Thank you very much, Celia. I'm partial to big fat ribbons, most of the time. Unless I want to wear a mid-ribbon. Or a thin ribbon.

Oh, heck. I like 'em all!
