Nobody complains about Terry converting vintage western and Borsalino hats into fedoras. I just change the size of them a teeny little bit, keeping the same shape, ribbon, sweat, and liner, and Charlie and Mark call me heretic. Sheesh. [emoji2]
Ha! Heretic is mild. You ought to hear what my wife calls me!
Thank you, Stefan.

Wearing a '50s era Resistol 10 Homburg that a fellow Lounger gave to me. This is an amazing hat and it's all in pristine condition. I always wanted to try a Homburg but when I put it on it was obvious that a Homburg just wasn't me. So I converted it. Nothing was removed from this hat so it was a fairly simple conversion that didn't require a lot of skill other than care and patience, and a brim flange. Notice the decorative stitching near the brim binding. I have more in the conversion corral...
The first fedora I ever owned was a gray Whippet style hat with a black ribbon and matching brim binding that my Grandfather gave to me back in the early '70s. I really liked that hat. I was in High School then and I ended up losing it. So this one is a little special to me.
Stefan, Thank you! I really like wearing this hat. It's actually fairly light weight which doesn't make sense visually.
It might be the "teeny little bit" that bothers them, Max. But you know: a heretic now and maybe a visionary in fifty years time!
So you are the guys that have been stealing our sun?
Ha ha! You're lucky! My wife makes sure I understand every name she's calling me! It's just her temperament I don't understand! So what if I introduce her as my wife by marriage. That's no reason for her to get furious with me and to go off the deep end. It ain't like we're actually blood related!
I like to refer to mine as "my first wife," but only because I thrive on stnk-eye.
LOL! When I introduced Ana to my friends, 25 years ago, I said she was "my next ex-wife". She still remembers it.I like to refer to mine as "my first wife," but only because I thrive on stnk-eye.
Under a favorite this sunny Sabbath. Dalton thin ribbon.
