Cool hat. Very cool lighter. Fantastic stick. Enjoy brother.

You're welcome, Joe. That's the great thing about the FL, we see each others hats and become inspirered

Let me know your size and I'll keep my eye out for lids that turn up in Denmark that you might like. I believe you take a smaller size than I do.

Take care, my friend.

Thanks Steve... I’m usually 6 7/8 to 7 about same as Tim. I’m guessing you are around same as Randall? Sizing can be so strange and comes with a bit of luck too... I have hats tagged with sizes ranging from 6 3/4 to now a 7 1/4 that have fit perfectly.

Nice hat and very cool lighter ! I love Ashtons, I have a VSG in my humidor for almost 10 years now that has terrific plume on it, but can't bring myself to smoke it. A friend at work who passed away gave it to me for the birth of his Son.

So true Joe, size is so arbitrary.

I'll keep my eye out and may have some already. I'll pm you soon.

This one is about 15 years old. Getting to the bottom of my humidor. Recently smokd an Aurora Preferido tha my late grandfather gave me 20 years ago. I found the lighter 30 years ago sticking out of the wharf next to my grandfather's commercial lobster boat.

VSG is my favorite Ashton. Sooooo good. Sorry about your friend. First three kid’s cigars all got smoked, I was a young idiot basically. Still have one ‘it’s a girl’ stick from the fourth and fifth. One is 26 years old, the other 15. Probably never smoke em. Have a great weekend Tim.

The second Mallory of the day. This one a Country Club picked up from Bob. He called it a beater and it may well be, but like all beaters it shows it's age through wears and tears along with character and style.

I've been playing around with its form, trying to give it a diamond crease and even a mule kick in the a#s Bowen style.
I think it's not too bad a try, even if I do say so myself

Stay well, friends. View attachment 226568 View attachment 226569 View attachment 226570 View attachment 226571 View attachment 226572 View attachment 226573

Great crease Steve. That's the second time this week Bowen's @AbbaDatDeHat Mule Kick in the A$$ has been quoted.
He inspired me as well.....

 

[Steve1857]

Thanks, Tim. Bowen @AbbaDatDeHat is a great inspiration to many of us. I think we keep telling him that.
Hope he listens

I have one of Bob's "beaters" as well. His "good hats" must be out of this world!!!

#10 hat of the day: 40/50s Cavanagh with Cavanagh edge. Glad the work week came to an end. By myself I’m doing fancy trim and eight foot doors in a gargantuan sized new house for a couple that will have one fine home when finished. I can tell ya, hanging 8” X 16’ crown 12’ high is not fun without someone holding the other end! But at least I have no workers who may end up giving me and possibly my parents Covid-19.

Beautiful Cavanagh Randall. I am a sucker for a Cavanagh edge especially so on a Cav. Sounds like a ton of hard work. But I’m sure it helps keep your mind clear.

30 Days to 30 Hats - Day 10
Resistol Western 3X Beaver

Silver belly with matching duo cord thin ribbon
5 1/2 inch crown in a cattleman’s crease
4 inch brim
1 5/8 Brown sweatband

One third of the way in on 30 Days to 30 Hats. With yesterday’s presentation of my shortest brim hat... today I figured it would move on to the largest brim hat in my collection. At 4 inches this is some brim and it goes well with its 5 1/2 crown.... though I still think a bit much on my size 7 head. I found this one in a thrift store for $4... so it had to come along.

Thanks, Joe. Your #ten turned out to be a sweet ten gallon job! If you’ve never done one this hat looks like a good platform to do a conversion on. Try your hand at a brim trim using a drawing compass, a pair of strong scissors and some 80 grit sandpaper.
Then, after gaining confidence doing that, you could also try a campaign bow, and you’ll be on your way to being your own hatter!
Or...you could just keep wearing it as is. Looks great!

You look good under a western. You should look for more similar styles to add to your collection.
