I say sell it now while it's new. It looks a little big, and not all hats shrink equally. Especially wool. It might shrink to fit, or it might just shrink to ugly. :(
Post it in the Classified for a week, and if nobody bites, put it on ebay.
The brim may look a little big because the...
When it come to ebay, and buying experiences like it, the only way to do it is to slowly build your way into a major purchase. Even if it's not hats, buying frequently on ebay teaches you what to look out for in terms of high and low risk. If you're not comfortable with that, just don't do it...
Done! :D
Thank you all for the compliments. That hat was one of those "will it work or won't it" projects. It seem to have fallen firmly into the success pile.
I wouldn't go by the poster for color. I saw a close up not long ago that made it look to be brown on brown. [huh]
Indycop, approach that hat like any other. You want to copy the look, not the stats. A 2 1/2" brim with a 5 3/4" or 6" crown would probably do it for the big and/or tall...
My entry for the day; "Stormchaser" (my very first Art Fawcett lid, now about 4 years old or so).

Wow, that was fast. They might have found one already made up from one of their recent in-person shows.
Newsboys and A-2's... Sounds as perfect as peanut butter and jelly.
Hanna only does tweed wool, but I liked the ones I've seen so much, I decided to take advantage of the current exchange rate on the British Pound. This will probably be my last tweed cap.
I ordered directly from Hanna. They are very bad with e-mails. I called them and they answered all of...
That's why I'm thinking bluegrass green. If we rule out mid grey as too dark, that's the only color it's available in that makes sense, given it's gray-green appearance. Anybody have a hat in that color?
I'm guessing that Burnsie first posted when he got the shipping e-mail, which HatPeople sends out when it's done. If they are true to their usual timing, you should expect yours about the week of the 16th.
Burnsie, it suits you very well. I like the fabric pattern.
Speaking of shipping...
The pics will help, but I think it's a driving cap of some kind. A newsboy is round and has eight fabric panels on the top (see my avatar). A driving cap usually has one solid piece for the top.
The main thing throwing me in the adjustment, but that might be a feature unique to a manufacturer.
