it's the Silverbelly

I believe Cornhill is more of a shade of brown... I almost bought that one when I got this one at JJ

really sharp color

it is actually beautiful

very soft.. shapes easily

not far off from my excellent

I actually like the crown better than the crown of my excellent ... it is a bit more bulbous

I also purchased a Strat from hats in the belfry in cornhill at $174.00 some time ago, paper label says Premier, sweat says Royal DeLuxe. The problem I have with the hat is that it nosed in quite a bit at the pinch when I applied light steam to it when bashing it. At some point I'll try to blow out the crown and reshape it. I have 2 others, one an Excellent in sage and a Premier in mink purchased from Delmonico. The mink is labeled premier on both the paper label and the sweat, they are of better quality.

I don't know. Does your hat have 2 designations as does mine? I found it strange. Still, if your happy with it that's what matters and at a decent price. I was not pleased with what happened to my hat but I'll try to reshape it and hope it turns out OK.

Regards,
Joe
