My Kids New (old) Fedora!

Post by Tron7960 »

I decided to give my old wool Biltmore from 1989 a makeover. My daughters use it as their indy hat, but of course I was never satisfied with it.

I stripped off the ribbon/bow and pulled it over a small pail. When it was dry I ironed it, trimmed the brim, tacket the ribbon back on and bashed it Raiders style. Fits the kids great and isn't as offensive to my new found "sensibilities" :)

Probably just going stir crazy waiting for the BIG DAY!

Wow. That actually looks pretty Raiders acurate. You can call it a mini-HJ
All the kid needs now is a mini-wested and facial stuble. :D

You do realize she's a girl right? And, I shaved off all mine. Not that I really had any to begin with. :wink:
