What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?

[Randall Renshaw]

Excellent Randall.

Thanks, Joe. Lots of work, but maybe another avenue of revenue if I ever decide to go full time into the mad hatter scene.

A few pics of my finished hat tools and stands that I’ve built recently.

Nice rig! Is the hat freshly worked? It looks new (and looks good on you).

No, thankfully, this Fifteen didn’t need anything but my head under it.
I’ve only got one hat finished that was used with the block only. That’s this Royal Adam. I can use the flanger on it now.

I just got the flanger a few days ago, but I’m sure, now that the stand is done, that I can up my hat game using all these these essentials.

Thanks again, buddy.
I'm in the market for a Terry Jones special with Western flair if you have one to sale in my size

Ha! Excellent!
I'll be getting there sooner or later. I'll definitely get with you!

First day of school for three of my four kids. VS made by Art Fawcett.

I bought a new mask that matches the green.... but it’s in the wash.

You're not just a craftsman Randall, you're an artist. Cudos my friend.

Thanks, Steevo, my banjo pickin’ pal!

30s borsalino courtesy of Stefan. I've had it for a while, but only got around to photograph it being worn. One of my favourites on rotation.

Home today before the sun sets - cheers! I am out in the yard puttering about waiting for the herring to finish on the grill and the pasta and fresh tomato sauce to finish in the kitchen. A VS Stratoliner inspired fedora in sage green is my hat choice for this cool evening in Minnesota.

Be safe, be strong and see you on the street soon, Eric -

I think you’re gonna need a bigger boat soon Joe. Awesome blue, can’t wait to see the others.

Might have $10 in materials in them.
The Randal Alan block and flanger were about $270 together. I probably couldn’t build them to the measurements and smoothness needed, so didn’t mind buying those.
Made this piece into a 3 in one stand.
I can use it for a flange stand, block stand and a retainer stand.
The retainer is tapered and made to fit in a hat after it’s been stretched so I can continue using my stretcher in other hats while the retainer keeps the prior hat from shrinking back.
Plus, I can use the retainer and stand for hand sewn binding.

Nice! I can tell at a glance how great that felt is. The way it creases...you can’t fake that.
