Just finished this late 40s Adam DeLuxe last night. Used the original black ribbon as a contrast to this vintage ribbon I’ve been holding onto for such a fedora as this.
Built a dog eared pleated bow with cross hatch thread on the last pleat.
She’ll be hanging on my “favorite” nail!
One I’ve blocked up from 7 1/8 to 7 3/8 and it still retains its original proportions with its silver bound 2 7/8” brim. Up brim or down I love it! View attachment 721304 View attachment 721305 View attachment 721306 View attachment 721307
Wonderful work, and nicely done, Randall.

It felt like a "big hat with a brim curl day" Stepped off the Patio and right into a big spider web! ( gee... it wasnt there yesterday) Of course it was a black hat lol

This ones a Stetson Montez that I did a 1/2" curl on. Amazing how well that spider web was stuck!

Now that the web is removed from the patio... how about "big hat with a brim curl" Part 2. This ones a Resistol 4x Beaver Quicksilver with a 1" curl. My brim curl tool was worth every penny..... The curling process sure is one of those things that puts a smile on your heart when finished!

Guess I need to go grab the brush and do some more web and dust removal before I head out for coffee

I finally started my own YouTube channel where I try to go live regularly to chat about hats. I figured I would try to share my first one with you fine folks here in this thread. This one is from yesterday when I was prepping a Brown Bowler hat for sale while wearing my Knox Tom 'n' Jerry. If you dig this format, please feel free to like the video, subscribe to my channel, and hit the notification icon if you want an alert when I go live next.
