Great pics, Dan, and terrfic bash job on the hat. Nice hat, too! Shows the dimensional brim very well, too

Thanks Dean! I had received the hat open crowned & uncut so the dimensional cut was my handy work. Using a tailors chalk helped greatly. While cutting with very sharp shears I was sweating it out.

IC: I'm like the Spanish Inquisition, you'll never expect when I'll spring that Fieldmaster on you.lol

I paid Ken the extra for the dimensional cut. Didn't seem worth the stress doing it myself. I'd hate to spoil such a nice hat when it only cost $15 for him to do it before it is sent.

I can't remember if I asked for it or not. Too late too call him.

The Dimensional Cut was fairly easy to do. I had followed the instructions on cutting a Dinensional Brim from the Tutorial over at Indy Gear and the the tutorial that Johndy had put out. Carefully marking out the measurements on the sides & front and then tapering the measurements in small increment to blend the cut using tailors chalk. Then with a very sharp pair of tailors shears (a really good pair can be had at most fabric stores along with the tailors chalk) carefully and slowly stim on the chalk line. Any wavers or wobbles can be lightly trimmed to shape. Then all you have to do is sand down the edge with the grain of the felt to soften up the edge and give it that factory looking edge.

Cheers!

Definitely. Camptown owners often talk about what great all-weather hats they are, and what better time to put that to the test than the winter?

Go on Colby. You know you want to. What's more, you know you won't regret it, and there aren't many fun things in the world you can say that about.
