then again, you could be right. i didn't notice the thickness until now. the colour is exactly like the HJ's i've had though which is why i guessed that....but you have a really good point.DanielJones wrote:The thickness of the felt doesn't say HJ/Christy's to me. Just a tad too thick, but then again I could be wrong there.
Cheers!

Well, ad to the things I guessed above that it was reblocked by penman
Regards, Geert
It is my old beloved PB, reworked by you guessed it, the new kid on the block, Bending Oak. This is what it looked like before:
And another shot after:
Oak was a little concerned the old PB wouldn't quite be up to a reblock, and the last thing in the world he wanted to do was rip his first reblock in two. I assured him if that happened, he could send me a Morgan whip, or an AB or two and we'd be even, (just kidding). I told him if it were to rip in two, what better way for an Indy hat to die, than giving itself for the betterment of Indy Fedoras the world over. The old PB was a rascal, and it did give him a fit or two, but it turned out beautiful. My hands of stone bash couldn't even screw it up too bad. Well done John. My hat, (PB of course), is off to you ::)

always put your money on this guy, he has a good eye for this stuff.
I had a Petersbrothers with the same short brim that I re-blocked and it ripped during the process. This is where my stress came from. I still don't know why they cut their brim so short.
Just a FYI, This is not my first re-block. Just my first re-block for someone else. I had re-blocked some of my old cheap hats and thats why there are some hats I just won't work on because I know they will rip in the process. I took a risk on this one because of the brotherhood between myself andd blooze..
Blooze , I thin you did a real good job bashing it.
