I have landed on this ribbon color and also nix'd the brim binding. I have opted for a raw edge instead. If the binding were a closer match to the felt, I'd move forward with it but ultimately, I felt I may have too many browns going on.
We're also in discussion of a frayed rear bow. Not quite...
That is gonna be one sweet hat, my friend. Did Alan say if he had more Bone felts? The more I look at this, the more I likes!
Mine is off the block and ready for the brim binding.
Yep, Tupelo is just a 45/50 minute drive for me.
This OR is from the OPS era and is sort of a gray with blueish undertones in certain light. It sports a 2 5/8” brim, not common in OR’s; not in my experience anyway.
Glad you are enjoying it, brother! It looks great! You did a bang up job with that crease. I wish it fit me but I got an equally as nice hat in the Dobbs Twenty in the trade. I'll put some steam to it this weekend and come up with a personal bash of my own. And I'll be sure to post up when I do.
