It wasn't intended as an insult, bh - It was just a completely neutral observation about what style it seemed to conjur up. :)

Personally, I think the hat has a lot going for it as it is, and I'd definitely try it with different clothes and things before cutting the brim, because you can't undo that.

It might help to see the hat on you, too, to give everyone an idea of whether the brim fits your face.

Incidentally, I stole your other recent bash for my old hat today. :D It's nowhere near as nicely done as yours, but I'll post pics when I get a minute.
I didn't take it that way, no worries dude. ;)
I'll post a pic with it on, but I have to put some felt pads in 1st because I had to take the lining out...it was too far gone to replace.

As far as the other bash, are you talking about the Knox/porkpie bash? I'd love to see it.

Hey, I think it works!

I like a center dent on my hats with low crowns, it seems to get the most out of a low crown.

Agreed - now we can see it on your head, I personally think it looks just right. I think things like a person's style and haircuts etc need to be considered when deciding if a hat works on them, and I think that hat really works.

Out of interest, how tall are you, bolt? I'd be interested to know just cos I'm a real runt, so I wear taller crowns to look taller (like Brunel did ;)), which is what someone suggested I do. It seems to work, but I'd be interested to see a shorter crown on someone of my kind of height (5'7").

Anyway, the hat looks great. Wouldn't change a thing.
