What Hat Are You Wearing Today 1?

[Joao Encarnado]

STILL my favorite of yours. Joao!!

Even being badly made? At least it is wearable

No, that's just "Jamaica" in my Ozarkian accent.

LOL

He just needs to put it as his signature tag line then it will appear automatically on each & every post of his. No one will have to pay any attention to it, & problem solved!

His siggy is already pretty clear about that!

For sure you do not read everything I write here.

Sure I do! You're one of the first guys I ever engaged with on the FL. Remember Joao Poppins?

Love ya, man! And I love what you've taught me about Portugal.

Thank you.

You put a lot of hard work into that bad boy, and it shows.

I think it's something about it there.

My apologies Joao. I have a short attention span & I never read those paragraphs in your tag line all the way thru. I had the same problem listening to Colin Kaepernick's explanation why he plans to sit thru our National Anthem in protest. Makes no sense.

Here's a before, during and after sequence showing how I replaced the 'crispy duck' sweatband in my Keens/John Franks fedora. Incidentally, it was all self-inflicted: although this vintage hat already looked pretty fine, I suddenly wanted a boxier crown. So I decided to reblock it and stuck it in my trusty garbage-bag-plus-kettle hat steaming device (works great on newer hats)...with instant and catastrophic results!

I cut the new sweatband from a sheet of antique, soft jacket leather and went to work. I re-used the original interface tape, brim wire and bow. Tested it several times to ensure it would be a perfect fit and, eventually, after about 10 hours' work... finished. I guess I can live with the bad stitching here and there. And it now feels custom made.

I'm watching. I'm learning.

So was my comment only negative or did it had something positive?

I know. It's a bit too big so probably no one reads it.

It's all perception, I guess. You're OK by me, though.

Joao, you first made your comment in the "What hat are you waiting for today?" thread when I first posted pics from the seller, then again in the "Western Anyone?" thread when I first took delivery & posted pics, & yet again in the "What Hat Are You Wearing Today?" thread after I changed things on the hat to the way I like & posted pics. It's all the same friggin hat! I got it! Give it a rest already!

Hey friends and fellow hat lovers!
Thanks very much for the appreciation of my recent posts and compliments on my repair projects.
Today, my day in the sun. The Dobbs Sunbrero, that is!

Have a great day!
