Does a binding visually decrease the size of the brim?
It is indeed an HST. I love it as well :). That is a dark gray beaver Adventurebilt, it's about 2 1/2 years old. It's an outstanding hat. Depending on the light it's a pure charcoal, to almost a dark brown under incandescent. I don't baby it, and it has quite a bit of character to it now... -

Does a binding visually decrease the size of the brim?
Years and years of practice :-). I've been using Photoshop since 1.0 in 1990. The above "transformation" took about 15 minutes - definitely a rush job and not my best work, but it gets the point accross, methinks. Best, jeff -

Brim cutter
Art - thanks for the advice. That's exactly what I wanted to know - if it's makes Art nervous, the chance of me screwing it up is high. Indycop, personally I think your black fed looks great as is. I wouldn't cut it if I were you. jeff -

Brim cutter
Hi all, Long time forum reader, althought I rarely post (I'm one of them thar "Lurkers"). I've been soaking up all this wonderful info from FL for about two years, but haven't had anything that I felt was of value to contribute. :) So today I was looking around for a brim cutter to reduce the... -
