First: this is not a VS sourced felt. If the felt had been provided and finished by Art et al it would have been nicer.
This Clearwater Hat Company Plantation hat went straight to VS several months ago. I got it cheap and maybe still overpaid...if you know what I mean. Even with such a poor starting point, VS worked some magic and completely rebuilt the hat. Six inch open crown and a #52 block. The brim is four inches as is with the curl so figure 4 1/4+ before the curl. The flat brim makes the with look bigger than it is. The crown was delightfully malleable and the brim is quite stiff. Another great job by VS!
Who says you can’t make a silk purse from a sow’s ear!
