Allright, I have this very old hat, Its like 10 years old. Its one of my firsts ever! It's in really bad shape. Loose stitches, some bad felt spots. It was in some desperate need of a reblock.
So I threw it on my Raiders block to get the Raiders back in it and I pretty much destroyed it some more after the block.
I needed to rubb the rust of my old Cairo hat skills and this was the perfect hat until I get to use them again on the new Herbert Johnson!!
Anyways, for those interested, I am tryingt o build a ''screen accurate'' Cairo Indy these days and I thought I'd start with the hat as it is the most important look to get the Cairo Indy. The dust, the sweat, that fubar look of the hat. So COOL!!!
I wanted this hat to be uber dusty. Like the one we see with the Mechanic, and in the truck. The arm shot scenes. LOVE IT!!!
Here she is, the prototype Cairo hat.
I hope you cairo fans like!
Outstanding... the great thing about this hat, is you can hang it up in your garage and no one will bat an eye... or you could put it on a stand in a glass case and get lots of questions about it. Just don't hang it on your regular hat rack... that would be gross. 
The hat looks really good!
