Hello again COW'ers!
Last saturday I went to a "flea market" in here and suddenly appeared in front of me some kind of Fedora. It was made by the famous trademark (at least is famous in Mexico) called "Tardan", and what I liked the best is the fact that this hat was actually made in Mexico in the 30's or 40's!.
Its 100% rabbit fur of very good quality and it seemed in very nice condition.
Here is how I got it:
So basically, because I didn't knew the antecedents of the hat, I went to a hat-maker and sent it to wash and re-block it. (The block wasn't a perfect "Indy block" but it was pretty good):
Finally I bash it with the Raiders look, and well... here is the result:
The best part of it, is that the hat cost me $450 pesos! (About $42 USD)
So... What do you think?
Best Regards,
-Alfonso
