Looks great Darrell

Thank you Captain, The felt that I used for this hat is a 100% rabbit 120G FEPSA, it turned out pretty good, I just wish that I had more than one FEPSA in this color, some brown and sable colors would be great too.

Well that fedora didn't last long, someone bought it today and it will be on the way to California tomorrow.

Thank you Sir. Yes Sir that is always a good feeling and sometimes it just unexpected. I thought that one of my other Indiana Jones hats in gray would sell before the 7 1/8", maybe I should make another 7 1/8" and put on Ebay, I just wish that I had another Dark Gray in 120G FEPSA Beaver to use.

Hello Fedora Fans,
I have been working on a fedora for a little while and I finished it today, the felt is a Dark Blue FEPSA 100% Pure Beaver the open crown was 5.5" , the brim was cut down to 2 3/4" wide, the hat height at the front and back crease is 4 1/8", the hat size is 7 1/8", I put a 5/8" pencil curl in the brim with a brim binding using 5/8" wide vintage grosgrain ribbon, the brim binding is handsewn onto the brim, the hat has a 2" wide dark brown or chocolate color leather sweatband with a little black bow, the hat band is the same color as the brim binding, Blue Navy Wool 1 1/2" wide, the hat bow is 5 1/2" long, I tried something a little new with the hat band and bow this time. Handsewing the brim binding into place took most of the time, I tried to put a stich about every 1/4", I had to sew around the brim twice to make everything look right. Here is a few photos for your review, let me know what you think, this hat style is different from any hat that I have made previously. Let me know what you think, Please.
I will be posting this hat on Ebay for sale, this will make a total of 6 hats on Ebay.
Thank you for your time and interest,
Darrell

I like the way that you shaped the front of the crown and the brim. Have you considered another Western style, maybe with the cattleman crease?
