I really like that beret Michael. I've been looking at berets recently.

I really like that beret Michael. I've been looking at berets recently.

Thanks Rick. It's very comfortable to wear and seems high quality.

Looks good. I have two or three of the military types. And an official Boy Scouts model and maybe a couple of others. I need to get them out more often.

I found a cool little patch to replace the original. Something a little quirky
*I mean no disrespect to the military*

That’s a cool look for you Rick

Thanks, Randall.

Funny, I saw it as semi-light. I must be getting soft in my old age, I'm usually a glass half full kind of guy

Hat looks good, Steve. Despite the semi-gloom.

Interesting. I've never seen one like that before, with the side seam feature.

Now that's a thin ribbon! Very nice.

What hat is that? It's a nice one and I definitely like the 6 ply ribbon on it.

Finally had a bit of light today, so was able to take photos. I chose to wear this Joseph E. Ward (one of the many great Manchester hatmakers) Homburg. Thought it befitted a semi-grey November day. View attachment 280815 View attachment 280816

That Homburg definitely suits you. The outfit, the hat, it all goes together very well.

Carlson homburg today, but it’s going to have to change to a heavier hat, probably a bowler, because the strong winds already nearly blew it off my head once.

After months of sitting, I finally finished this conversion project. All I lacked was sewing on the brim binding and I finally got it done. This hat was originally a size 7 '50s era 3X Stetson Western with the Last Drop embroidered liner that I was able to reuse. Aside from showing its age a little the felt was solid and definitely worth saving. I have more in the Conversion Corral...

Before:

Hand sewing a brim binding can be a real pain in the a$$ and it does a number on my back after having to sit too long.

After: notice the fading on the hat. It has a nice 'well worn' look with plenty of character but with a nice crisp profile.

Embroidered Last Drop Liner

Back in the hat with the original sweat bow also reused
