I might get the brim cut down more eventually, but for now the wide brim serves its purpose perfectly as rain protection.
+2. I'm there too. How wide is the brim now?

Was 3.75'', now is 3.5''. Though with the crown now an inch or so shorter, I shoulda had it trimmed down to 3 1/8. Or maybe just take off the bead band. Ah well, I'll leave it as it is for now.

It's about 4.75'' at it's highest point I think, about 4.25-4.5'' near the front. It has some front/back taper due to my being Long Oval, but the sides are nice and straight. It'll look better on me once my hair grows back out.

If I had Billy Jack's physique and foot-to-face skills, it wouldn't be a problem. With this hat I'm trying to create a sort of downscaled, urbanized BotP. I gotta do it piece by piece though, because once you trim something off, it's gone.

I'll have a couple more pics up in a bit with close-ups of the band, felt, and a side-profile shot.

Yes, I hope all is well for the weekend. I advised Mike via separate email that if he needs for me to postpone that is ok, let me know. Otherwise I plan to visit, making one really nice new hat and to spend time on several 'projects.'

Thanks Hato :). I'd have to agree with. It's a joy to wear, I had forgotten how comfortable a fitted hat was.
