Thanks to all for your likes and kind words of late. I appreciate them all.
Today it’s a favorite Borsalino Nutria 2X Feather Weight. No tags for color and model. A very thin obedient felt with a very demure felted welt. The liner is a bit unusual. I enjoy wearing this one often.
Be well. Bowen

I can see why. That is so gorgeous it has me drooling.

Got up to 80F yesterday afternoon so a good excuse to wear my Stetson Panama.

60’s today - Adam, Mr Main Street

Cheers!
David

O wow! That Adam is spectacular, David! I've never seen a ribbed ribbon that wide.

Hey all!
This mushroomy-colored Young's from the 40's came to me a few years ago tattered, beaten and partially eaten. Not only had moths chewed through it in several spots, but what was left of the ribbon and brim binding looked as though mice had carried off the rest. The thrift store manager just gave it to me because it was in such bad shape. It was one of my early refurb projects, so a good learning experience.
It has been sitting around unworn for quite a while with a hand-stitched brim binding I wasn't happy with. Last night I decided to try something different. Dyed up a grey ribbon with just a touch of brown in the mix. Pulled off the binding, made a nice simple bow. I noticed afterward there were a few small flaws in the dye job, but not enough to really bug me so I left it alone. Tried to iron it flatter, but this old dead felt is just wants to be lumpy so I gave up and just let the hat look as thrashed as it wants.
I like how a brown tibbon on a grey hat looks. The opposite isn't bad either!
A Young's, young no longer... but still kicking!

Have a great day!

You made it look young again. Nice job, John!

A new one today. I picked this up as a size 58 hat (for one of my fellow loungers maybe), but when I got home I found a label with the size 57 on it. In actual fact it barely fits my 56 sized head. Overbeck in black with a nice triple stitched brim binding. Overbeck doesn't ring a bell, but it resembles a hat I have made by Mayser.

A little foggy and cold this morning on my trip out in search of steak. Grab and go Dobbs Twenty with guild edge until the afternoon sunnyness.

Very nice surprise that it fits you. Thanks for being so selfless and thinking of us though. You are a saint.

Had no intention of leaving the house today, of course SHE had other ideas. Standing in the deli line at the grocery store, the clerk asked who's next? A fellow next to me said, "the fellow in the Stetson." Wish you had seen his face when I told him it was a Cow Lot. That started a hat discussion, which is always fun.

I see you've got a bit of sunshine over there. Enjoy! That Dobbs is a great looking hat, Mike.
I believe you're confusing me with my namesake Saint Stephen, who was the first martyr and he was stoned to death, which is a risk I run if I bring any more hats into the house! Paul the apostle was present at his execution and agreed to it! With friends like those...

It's a good looking hat, Greg, but I guess the marketing department had a day off when they came up with the name...

Thanks, Stefan. As far as marketing goes, have you ever been to Texas?

Thank you, Dd. I did a little research when this hat came up for auction. It was a western wear store that closed in 2006 after over 50 yrs. in business. The hat was probably made by Resistol? It's got the same "Beaver Twenty Five" stamped on the front of the sweat as my two Resistol beaver 25's. They were located in Witchita Falls, TX where the annual boot and saddle makers roundup is held. A store there still operates under the name selling hats, buckles and such. Here's a little info I found on them.

The size tag matches a couple of Resistols in my collection. Sweet hat!

That just makes it so much more interesting. I am somewhat familiar with the area, having family in the Texoma area. Resistol sounds logical. Thanks for the link!
