I've had a love/hate relationship with the rust colored ribbon that comes stock on Stetson's Racine model since I first laid eyes on it.

Earlier this month I worked up the courage to let Van at JJ Hat Center swap it out for one that matches the trim. So, debuting for the very first time....(insert drumroll, preferably played by the Lounge's one and only @moontheloon)...my modded Stetson Racine:

Giddy up.
I think you made a great choice in changing out that ribbon. It looks great!

Good day folks. Left early morning in a Monsavais cap made of Donegeal wool.

Home for lunch and a dog walk and wearing a Gannon (navy blue w/charocal trimmings).

Comparatively balmy afternoon finds me comfortable in a sweater. By gosh it is 24'F! Balmy.

Best, Eric -

A visit from the postman forced a midday hat change.

It's still deciding what it wants to look like.

Hey people!
Many thanks for the likes on yesterday's project. Harder to make a sloppy careless looking bow (that doesn't look kike total crap) than it is to make a nice sharp crisp one. From what somebody posted shortly after I posted the pics of the original bow, the style only lasted a year or two. I think I know why...:)
Today is a great day for a G.B.Borsalino fu Lazzaro &C. Stiff Felt.

I don't know which I like more, the Dobbs or those pants! You are always such a treat every morning!
Thanks Red.

Never quite sure how you measure a brim, ie from ribbon or from sweat, but it's 2 1/4 or 2 3/8 front, possibly a touch less on the sides and 5 1/2 open. No idea the age.

I'm off to the library now to give it it's first roadtrip on my head.

Those are pretty standard Whippet specs.
