What Hat Are You Wearing Today ?
Did the same with my ultralight strat. I still wish the open crown was straight sided and higher. Maybe if they had taken a little off the brim. -

It was not stiff because I used Fabric Acrylic Paint, The bond with the leather was not too good, but the flexibility was there. D. -

Now Forming! the Campaign Hat Corps
I have never seen genuine M1883 vents personally, and my best guess is that these are just as likely as any to be accurate. I used a pair on a hat I modified for Worf, ( which I neglected to photograph before I sent it to him.) They're probably the best you can find. I've read that no... -

BRAVO, Larry! You nailed it! It looks like a vintage specimen, to me! Very well done! My hat production has stalled of late. Sewing machine broke down. Mid-winter blues, too! dean -

Stingy Re-ribbon homemod
Put some 1 1/2" rayon grosgrain on my Bailey stingy. Never really liked the original 1" off-grey it came with. It looks more substantial now, at least to me, since it's a woolie, it needs all the gravitas it can get. I deliberately fashioned a very plain bow, going for no-nonsense... -
