Lock & Co St Louis Crocheted Florentine Straw Trilby Hat
This Lock & Co is a very nice alternative to a traditional Panama sun hat, see what you think. If you can find one secondhand they could be a great find as they are great looking and very comfortable on.

Herbert Johnson Trilby, Rabbit or Beaver felt
Просмотров 102 часа назад
I picked this Herbert Johnson Romany hat up on an auction website not knowing what I was buying and when it arrived it is so soft and light I think its likely a beaver rather than a rabbit felt, see what you think.

      Hi yes I re block with sweatband on unless it really needs to be taken off ie it’s damaged or worn and yes I use a smaller block than the original. In fact most old hats have shrunk so in addition I stretch them and leave on the stretcher overnight which helps. Thanks for your support and yes I’ll keep posting.

    We call it silver belly due to it being the belly fur from the beaver which is that natural tone of the felt. Resistol makes some amazingly tough hats for work. I highly suggest them. You can spend upwards of 3k on one if your pockets are deep enough

    I have three, two of which are vintage. One of the vintage OR’s is “ranch worn” meaning it is well worn with a patina of sweat and grime. It’s actually very cool and a coveted look as it is often a look seen in westerns. I’ve always called the OR a LBJ hat because he was often seen in one. There is a photograph of Winston Churchill wearing an OR while painting. Enjoyed your video.
