Shane sent me pics for approval as it was blocked and creased before he set and finshed the bash so if there was anything I didn't like it could be corrected.
That is above and beyond, exceeding my expectations....What more can you ask....I'm going to order one aswell.....I want the Bob Roberts model in Natural with a dark colored band, either black or dark brown....Like Art's in the Fedora Fest-Mt Rushmore photo of RBH's...But I want the same type and width of band as yours....I even totally dig the way you had him set the pinch and side dents....I might get a little more rake...but I can't tell from your pics about that.....Do you have any side view head shots, Bob ?

Bob's my favorite Straw Fedora Designer at this time.....}8^))

Can't wait to see yours Moon.....I know that natural and Forrest Band is going to be great!

I was fortunate to meet Joe Peters at the 2011 Fedora Fest.

This is my favorite straw summer hat ....this hat is killing me ovah heeya.....I got eyes....BIG eyes to cop one exactly like it....Maybe a touch of rake...but not much...maybe 1/2" to 3/4"....and maybe a black band/pug.....Just so I wouldn't be stopped on the street for trying to copy Bob Roberts....Seriously though, Bob that looks perfect to me...

Thank you all. I was really goin for a simple center dent look with no rake but asked for a little bit. Hardly any. I may try to deepen the center dent and drop the back down a little with some steam. Thanks again for the likes.

If you were in the store ordering from Shane about an hour ago, then I was the guy that called in and ordered a milan Shady Oaks from Ben. Ha!

Just after 10 when we got there - I was there with my wife and Pearl the Boston terrier.

It's about a 15 minute walk from where we live to Peter's Bros and we go by just about every day.

My hat is going to be an Indy style - a Shady Oaks is on my wish list though.

They are doing good business with Fedora Lounge Milan hats.
