Gene, The Natural is one of my favorite movies. I just watched it again the other day, and the hat his father wears in the beginning of the movie is such a classic!! I can't believe you have one!!! :hail:

I've actually been thinking about that hat quite a bit. Wanted to commission a hat just like it. Thanks for showing it! The sweatband ribbon is TDF~!!!

If your hat maker of choice wants some specs from this one, lemme know and I'll send measurements. Although, note that I wear a 7 - so if you are a wildly different size, the proportions may need to differ.

Best,

G

AnA, love that 20! Such great lines on it.

Jeff, both of those are great looking hats. I love the architecture of that hallway, too.

Gene, you're looking sharp there. You're not older--you're just closer to vintage. :)

jeff, the first hat is amazingly beautiful, i like the second one as well. I really like the way the brim is on the first hat, and the color is stunning.

Thanks Jacob, and all. I tell ya, I have messed with this brim so much in terms of swoop, angle of the "roll" dipping the front and/or back, raising the sides, etc... and I have never been able to get that pencil roll to look even-- it's always kinda rumpled, and it has no flange. I'm thinking about either sending it to a western hatter to get a real pencil curl and a flange, or taking the curl out altogether and doing some kind of welt. I wonder if there's a perfect matching ribbon binding out there somewhere for that Black Cherry beaver felt.

Okay, for instance here's a Wormser lord's hat. Granted, the crown is lower, and has a bit more taper, but I think that's what an unbound pencil curl should look like, and was originally what I had in mind for the black cherry hat.

Lotsahats-- thanks! The house was built in 1941 and we've lived in it for 3 years. If you came inside you'd think we've been here for thirty...

I'm in Barichada which is a 6 hour drive outside of Bogota, Colombia and pretty much in the middle of nowhere. It's very hot so I ditched my felt fedora and bought this very cheap panama from a tiny shop here which I proceeded to reshape. Really surprised how it took to reshaping.

Getting the day started right!
