I sure love this one, Greg.

Thank you, buddy. I really appreciate that.

You probably saw me wearing my Bradford 7X quality conversion. It looks nearly identical to the Resistol except that I did my Bradford on a different block that was more rounded. Both have the same open crown height with the same height at the pinch and with the same rake. Both have the same 2 3/4 brim width and were flanged on the same brim flange. I creased the Bradford in a C Crown to make the sides straighter because of the rounded block shape it was on. The Stagecoach was creased in a Teardrop because that block was straight sided.

This is the Bradford....

C Crown

This is the Resistol Stagecoach....

Teardrop

I'd like to do an ORish conversion in a different color, though.

You made a felt purse out of a sow's ear there for sure. That look so rich and 100% beaver-ish. Way better than any Bradford I have ever owned or have seen.

You guys are killing me! Such great hats and I am putting 3 boxes full of new parts on a truck and there's no way I'm wearing anything but a ragged ball cap and my miner's lamp for the rest of the evening and most of the day tomorrow. I guess I'll be wearing hats to bed to catch up on hat time. I guess I could go to Cowboy Church in the morning since you leave your hat on there except for prayers. I could carry a couple of spares and swap hats at each prayer.

Two really nice conversions.

The contrasting ribbon makes that one zing, nice.

Thank you, buddy. That particular Bradford is a 1950s to very early 1960s. The felt on that hat is phenomenal. I'd love to find another one like it.

You look good in that cattleman crease, TJ. I like the campaign style bow you put on it as well. One of my OR clones, the Levine has that style bow and it's a favorite of mine.

Thank you, Greg. I came very close to doing a Cattleman crease OR clone on that Stagecoach. In fact, I had it creased that way and it looked great but I changed my mind at the last minute. I definitely plan to do another one. I'd like to see your Levine if you get around to posting it.

 

[Richard Morgan]

Very nice.

Thank you sir.

Killer felt and band color combo.

Been seeing a lot of good looking light colored felts on here lately.

Found myself in greys and blues this morning so I had to skip a day wearing brown hats. The Borsalino in azoico colour was more fitting.

That is a wonderful Borsalino Stefan. I love everything about it.

That is a great looking hat, Mike. Felt looks really thin.

Thanks friend. Mike at NW Hats pounced the beaver nice and light. It is also unlined, comfortable 3 seasons during the year.

Hey all!
The wind has calmed, at least here on the coast. Hope it has done the same in all of the parts of the state that are currently on fire.
Looks like a late season straw day. Brent Milan.

Have a great day!

I look at the map of California fires every day and think of you. Nice to be able to wear such a nice milan in October.

Thank you, KC.

How about this one?

These are older pictures but I've been sporting this one around a little bit this afternoon.

This is classic TJ. Did it start out as a full on western?

What a priceless image Moon. The 15 and the pooch are quite a pair.

Wow! Color combo is killer. Nice finish too.

MrsFed and I got out to see a movie with Jackie Chan, The Foreigner. I wore the Penman in steel and MrsFed wore a blue cap. She keeps threatening to cut my chin whiskers! It's getting cold here. Time for Donegal Tweed by Magee!

You are not that shaggy...yet. Love both hats on you guys.

That is a fantastic Mallory. You certainly have game, good sir.

Thanks Red! You know, I've been really loving your OSU hats the past couple days, and the events that go along with them!

I'm looking at a light gray Resistol Tycoon for my first attempt at a conversion. Any advice? Is this donor hat not a good candidate? I'm sort of jumping in blind here, but I think I can figure it out and learn as I go. Thank you.

 

[moontheloon]

Great pic, Anthony! Is the brim on your Knox 15 2-3/4" like mine?

Sorry brother just saw this
I'll have to check ... I'll get back to you
