New Hat--but what is it? (Now with Pix)

[skillbilly]

Are you two guys pretty happy with the quality of those hats? I'm interested in whether you've shaped them or worn them so far.

I couldn't be happier with it. The felt is very sturdy and I love the wider brim on it. I shaped the crown a bit, but plan to leave the brim as is. As for wear, I wore it out last night.

What about you Cruiser? Where's those pics?

Here you go.

Pix now attached.

Looks great, Cruiser. My tired old eyes can't quite tell from the pictures if that's a Cav edge. Is it?
Love that avatar pic, too. Who's the oldtimer? And the kid?

Thanks, tonyb--I'm not sure I would know a Cav edge if I saw it, but based on threads I have read, I don't believe it is, because it is folded over and sewn, and the threads are visible on the top edge of the brim. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than I am can tell us if that rules it out as being a Cav edge. If not, I will post a close-up of the edge and maybe that will help.
