Wow, that looks to be a beautiful colour. I have a Cypress from Tim but may have to spring for this Gunsmoke too.The replacement hat made it. We tried to use some of the bluesmoke felt bodies that Brent had, but they were too small for the hat I wanted (6" x 2-3/4").
So Michael emailed a FEPSA beaver felt called gunsmoke. It's a darker grey with hints of blue in it. I went with the Lagoon ribbon again, which is kind of lavender-grey vintage ribbon.
I was impressed by how soft/maleable the crown is with this one. Very nice indeed.
I'll post Michael's pic first as it is closest to true colors. My cell phone camera just doesn't take decent pics anymore.
This is a dry crease. FEPSA felt definitely has some good feel to the hand and the bash-ability. Will still hit it with some steam to "set" the crease later on.
