The City Hat Bowler saw the light of day this Sunday. It's a very comfortable fitting hat. View attachment 316175 View attachment 316176 View attachment 316177
Never thought to match a bowler with a leather jacket before but seems right in place with you Steve!
Can't get enough of that hat Brent! I guess on the plus is the sentimental part of being there on its creation.

Super Borsalino

lousy weather did not cooperate for pictures today. So here’s some file photos. This Super Borsalino originally sold at Sools in Paris. A hat that arrived about a year ago as a real crumpled mess. It was revived somewhat and today made a fantastic rain hat.

Fantastic Joe! I also like the profile pic at the end. Can't wait for the rest!

Later I completed some clean-up under the bird feeders while wearing a Stetson Clear 7X. Curious I grabbed a pic with a different 7X.

View attachment 316180 1955 Dobbs 2 7/8 Guild Edge in Silverbelly that was given to me by a 74 year old man who I’m building a one car garage for.
Told him I was a collector that refurbished hats and he took me inside and showed me he one that was owned by his Grandpa. He talked about his “Gramp”, the hat and memories and I told him how special the Dobbs was and how much the hat might sell for and other hat facts.
An hour later he came out to the garage and gave it to me! A very nice and gracious man. Wouldn’t let me pay anything for it. Wish it had his initials stamped in the sweatband.
As luck would have it, it’s my size!
My new favorite. View attachment 316182 View attachment 316181 View attachment 316178 View attachment 316179 These last two pics are before and after shots of the liner. I’ve come up with a good way to clean them without removal.
Great hat, wonderful story, Thanks for sharing Randall !

That's a great story, Randall. The gentleman obviously could feel that you'd take good care of his gramp's Dobbs.
Nice clean up job on the liner.
Thanks, Steve and @Blare !
And thanks for all the likes, too!
After wearing it to church this morning I wet the brim and put it in the flanger and ironed the brim.
I’ll let it completely dry and then the brim will look great while snapping up and down perfectly.
Too much flange causes a brim to look wonky at the snapping points.
I don’t know how I made it so long without a block and flanger. Ive come to realize that these two items are indispensable for anyone with a hat collection if crisp, correct profiles are a requirement.

Fantastic. I’m guessing he’ll be getting an extra row of shelving in that garage!

Years ago I watched the movie Monty Walsh. Loved it so much I bought the book. In it Monty buys a blue Stetson. So I started talking to Art Fawcett about a new hat that meets that description but isn’t too “Yee Haw” if you know what I mean. So he made me this one that he called his first crossover.

I’m certain you can, JC. Damn fine crease and brim shaping as well. Really suits the proportions of that hat as do you, or it does you; you know what I mean. You sure that hat is that late?

Now head on over to the Thompson River Boot Co. for a fitting.
Thanks for the compliment. Don’t need any new boots though. I already have a few pair from “Alberta Boot Company” buy local.
