Thank you! The brim is more three-dimensional than the photos show; for some reason it looks pretty flat in some of those shots. I had requested a light-to-moderate flange, and got what I wanted, but the shape doesn't seem to show quite true-to-life in the photos. Something about the camera...
I was fortunate enough to receive a hat from Robert last week, but ended up out of town on a family camping trip and hadn't gotten any "after" photos until today.
Robert built this one for me on a lightweight (90 gram, I think?) chestnut FEPSA felt, with vintage charcoal ribbon. The ribbon...
Congratulations, Terry! This has been a long time coming - I've enjoyed watching all your projects over the last few years. I hope this turns out to be an enjoyable endeavor that also puts a little jingle in your pocket at the same time. Good luck!!
I wonder if that's a scam site? My computer won't even open that site unless I bypass the security settings.
The normal Filson sales site seems to be intact and at full price. ;)

I've not owned a Fed IV, as the brim is smaller than I prefer, but I have several Camp Drafts. They may have a little taper, but I'd consider it pretty minimal, at least with my preferred teardrop crease. The Camp Draft's brim is not dimensional, but the Fed IV's is.

They really should. With the extended wait time they have for their boots now, why are they monkeying around with something else? Focus on WORK boots!
White's decided to do all kinds of dress boots and other silly things, raised their prices on everything by ridiculous amounts, extended their...
Well, since you asked...
It's absolutely horrible. Because I enjoyed the original show so much I struggled through about the middle of episode 5, and called it quits. I won't go back.
City Primeval is an Elmore Leonard story too, and another good one, but it didn't have Raylan in it and he...
^^^That is the "Slate" ribbon from Michael Gannon, I believe. I liked that hat so well I asked him to make one very similar to it. Very interesting colors and shades in that vintage ribbon.
My only other hat in natural felt is from Rick Walker, at Phoenix. It has a navy blue ribbon, and goes...
Yes, they do here too, especially when they're in packs. Local governments only make it worse when they close public roads to automobiles for a whole day to allow bike "events". And the spray-paint markings they put all over the roads last for months, and would get anyone else charged with...
That's a sharp hat, Brent, very nice! I particularly like the color. It looks to me like it has some brown in it, like the older Winchester granite color had, instead of the pure gray/charcoal color that the new granite felt has. Does it actually have a brown component, or is it maybe the green...
That's exactly right, and one reason that I will never let go completely of paper maps. Onboard GPS has its place, especially if you keep the device's mapping software up to date. But having learned map and compass in Scouting before I was a teenager, and continuing to use them throughout my...
