Just got this in today!
The color is Limestone and it looks fantastic!
The camera on my phone combined with the awful lighting in my bedroom don't do this hat justice.
Thank you Art!
Just picked up this lot of spools to use as stands!

I've always liked brown and grey together, I'm sure it would make a sharp hat!
As for brim width, I suggest going through the lounge looking at photos and seeing what proportions appeal to you. I. E. Crown height, crown taper, brim width, ribbon width and so on.
A 2 1/2" brim will look...
The hat was made by Texas Hatters in their western weight hare felt.
Would be pretty cool to an exact replica made by THE people who supplied movie but prices start at $300 for dress weight and $400 for western weight.
Funny that you bring Rorschach up. I have really fallen in love watchmen over the past couple of weeks(even though I saw it in theaters).
I sent Art an old Akubra Squatter to get transformed into that very hat.
Lorne, I have had people react very similar to my hat wearing, main difference is I'm 24 and their around 50ish. That being said, most peoples reactions are very positive from all generations.
It confused me when I saw the long hair tagged Scholar. Several months ago this hat was posted under the same name. Given the Indy style it's no doubt the name was chosen to be reminiscent of the "Poet" from Herbert Johnson.
I wonder how this will effect the Fed 4 sales?
Art, can you describe the color? Pictures typically look way different than they do in person. To me it looks like it falls in between Silverbelly and Dove, maybe a couple shades darker?
The Adventurer has a longer brim that is turned down in the front and back while the Fed has a shorter snap brim. And I think they use different blocks, but I could be wrong.
