Cheers,
I went with Slate in the end. It has this subtle smokey hue, floating between grey and brown with mauve undertones in certain light. Very lustrous and wonderfully suited to the natural felt. Very complimentary. Ashen green was a close call, and the tie breaker for me was the wifey...
Michael finalised my hat's details, and went with his vintage Slate ribbon, with a single grey stitching along the brim. Michael blocked the hat 5 1/4in high on a #52block at 59.5 size with 2.5in brim. Very classic proportions. With the natural felt and that old ribbon, the hat looks like its...
Hello Brent, regarding the colour choices, I pretty made up my mind, it will be between one of two in the samples Michael issued. Im partial to a bit of contrast, and my personal favourites were his old vintage ribbons: slate & ashen green.

Resistol 4X Beaver 7 3/4. Western hat, and looks near new...
This may be a minefield question, but I figured Im better asking here than making asking as a separate thread:
