Sent directly from my mind to yours.
Hello Sir: didn’t have words for this pic when first posted. Took bout 20 mins to re-find it but saved me a few hundred goin for a Stetson 100. But thats ok. If ever a ribbon was made for a coat or ever a coat for a ribbon then dis be dat. I “know” when you sport this get up you walk tall and all is well in the world! Perfect! Be well. Bowen PS: can’t eat the 100 anyway!! Ha

Thanks Bowen. I caused something of a stir here on the Lounge the first time using this classic phrase.
Hello Sir: Belly laugh!! I know! That’s what i was referring to! I recall the extanct referrencee, the players, the score and the outcome. I wanted to play but was still a closet troll. It was great. Right up there with the “homeless” fun. I remember you waiting to get that hat too! Perfect. Be well. Bowen

Yeah, I still love it too. Very light and comfy hat.

Me too. The texture and drape are great too.

To me it has that look of the suits in the movies from the '30s to the early '50s. I'm a happy camper.

That was a very clean look you had going on for church today. Very tailored look.

Thanks,
Michael
It really is a fantastic suit, Michael. Color me jealous...

What a fantastic parade of hats Eric. I dig your style.


I still love the same old Stetson. I thought you just found a great jacket, scrolling down...Wow! That is a statement, looks warm.


I like it. Great crown shape and kind of a less formal look to a black fedora. Nice Terry!
Thank you Red. Much appreciated. Yeah, I've always felt that a black fedora looked too formal which is why I chose a thin ribbon to give it more of a Stratish/ORish casual look.

Just finished up on this one yesterday. This was a prior conversion I did on a black Resistol Western that Anthony gifted to me. I didn't care much for the block that I first used, so I took it apart again and re-did it on a different block, one that was much straighter sided. This second blocking gave me a taller and open crown shape that I like much better now than before. Still, a black hat, though. I'm not a big fan of black hats. Not sure if the black color suits me. Although, I like the new crown shape much better. The thin ribbon I have on it isn't attached. I'm looking for a black 3/8 ribbon to put on it for an OR style bow and ribbon work. I'll have more pics in the conversion corral....

Nice conversion, the black looks fine on you.
