Lookin' good so far, Tron! This is something I've been wanting to see for quite some time now, a Magnoli HJ with some "Cairo" character to it! The Fullers Earth really brings out some of that "SOC" quality, but I'm curious if you have any plans to go full-bore Cairo? A rabbit felt hat, blocked on a great block like Steve's, can really yield some excellent Cairo results!  A few little tweaks to your HJ and you could have yourself a dead-ringer.  I don't blame you if you don't have the desire to squash and rumple a $300 hat, though. ;D Anyways, great work so far! That is one beautiful HJ, man!  -GCR |

Great lookin hat tron I have one on order and can't wait to get it. You did a nice job workin the hat . Try this if you don't mind pour the fuller earth on(I mean pour it on)be very lebral about the stuff.You will be amazed how SA it will look just shake a little off walaa! like you came right off the cairo streets.and it looks better a few days later too. It all brushes out. the ribbon will take a little longer to clean but in time I will look good to.Everybody that sees mine love the look clean or dirty thats the great thing about wearing a fedora specialy when it looks as good as it does on you.

He used Fullers Earth. Finely grained dirt could work too though |
