Here are some pictures of my vintage Borsalino. It took me 5 minutes to bash. I did not use water or steam to bash it. It is a size 7. It has a Raiders bash and NO taper! http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/IndianaWayne/The%20Fedora/Mine/Borsalino/Grey/B-1.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103...

Great looking hat, Fedora! I don't like the ribbon.

The rabbit Adventurebilt is a great hat! I read that the beaver Adventurebilt is better! Buy an Adventurebilt! I own a rabbit Adventurebilt and I never complain about it. After wearing it everyday for about five months and it is soft and floppy, which is a good thing since the raiders hat was very f...

My rabbit AB is the best hat I own. I have a rabbit AB, rabbit HJ, a vintage Wormser, a vintage Stetson, and a wool fedora. The rabbit AB is the best, the vintage Wormser is second. I will see how good the vintage Borsalino is when I get it.

Indiana Wayne

Your rabbit AB is 3mm and my rabbit AB is 2mm and my rabbit HJ is 3nn.

Indiana Wayne

Your rabbit AB is thicker then my rabbit AB!

My rabbit HJ is thicker then my rabbit AB.

After seeing pictures of your AB, it makes me want to get my AB and my HJ reblocked!

Yeah, its not stitched to the crown, since it is only temporary.

I still need to work on the brim curl and I need to move the bow forward. Here are some better pictures. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/IndianaWayne/The%20Fedora/Mine/Herbert%20Johnson/Brown/1_edited.jpg http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/IndianaWayne/The%20Fedora/Mine/Herbert%20Johnson/Br...

Why does everybody hate my hat? I think it looks a lot better then some of the hats people think look good.

Here are some pictures of my Herbert Johnson fedora that I reblocked, turned, and rebashed. I turned it two inches. I replaced the ribbon with a vintage black one. I bashed it Cairo style. Its a size: 7 ¼, with a 5 ½ inch crown. The brim is 3 inches front & back and the sides are 2 1/2 inches. T...

You thought my AB looked bad, just wait until you see my HJ in a few months.

Indiana Wayne

Great looking hats Pagey and Fedoraman!

jpenman wrote:wayne what did you use as a block ? that photo hurts my eyes.

Sorry about the photo, its the best I can do right now. Read this thread. It still has front and back taper, but it has straight sides.

Indiana Wayne

Here are is a picture of my Herbert Johnson after I reblocked it, turned it, and rebashed it. The ribbon is 43 mm. I bashed it Cairo style. I still need to beat it up. Mine. http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y103/IndianaWayne/The%20Fedora/Mine/Herbert%20Johnson/Brown/Cairo3.jpg http://i4.photobucket....

Since there's a "Post your Adventurebilt's here!" thread, so why not a "Post your Herbert Johnson's here!" thread!

I will post some of my HJ tomorrow.

Indiana Wayne

Its a plastic pitcher.

Indiana Wayne

The day after tomorrow I am going to take it off the block, add the brim curl, and bash it. The day after I take it off the block I am going distress it to make it look more like the Cairo hat. Then I will post some pictures.

Indiana Wayne

Nice pictures! You own one of Pageys AdventureBilts?! COOL! Post some pictures of the hats on your head. Just not of them both on your head at the same time.

Hemingway Jones wrote:Hats should be left on the block for about a week before removing or they will return to their original shapes as SJ said.

Thanks, I will take some pictures of the hat with a bash in a week.

Indiana Wayne

pics please. :roll: I will try to post pictures of the hat tomorrow morning if it is dry. Keep in mind though that you should let let hat dry on the block. If you pull it off while it's wet, felt might return to it's tapered state. I put the hat back on the block a minute after I took it off. What ...

Today before school, I was thinking about having my HJ reblocked, but after JPenman told me that the brim could be torn off the hat while being reblocked, I decided to reblock my HJ at home. I was looking for something to use as a hat block. I found something that I could use that had straight sides...

How do you like my new avatar, Agent5?

Indiana Wayne

Looking good. A brown fedora goes good with a black suit. Pageys ABs, HJs, and your Akubra are some of the best fedoras, I have seen.
