Fawn Campdraft arrived today:

...the fit is looser than my other 59's (I followed the sizing advice on the Hatsdirect site... a strip of foam tape fixed it right up).


the ribbon was wrinkled a little but no big deal.

I've got a silverbelly one that shiped today so I should have it next week and my SunBody is due tomorrow...think I'm fixed for hats for a while.:)
Both mine were lose but now fit perfectly!
You keep telling yourself that TWilson! I'm trying that therapy too. Campdraft looks awesome, nice crease. I have noticed my ribbons have varying lengths. My glen grey is longer that my silver belly. I'm probably going to adjust the glen grey to match, especially the front leg. Awaiting a mid-brown, interest to see it's ribbon lengths. [huh]

Lefty -- I think that is one of the most outstanding lids I have ever seen here on the Lounge. The style is classic, the satin finish is beautifully done, the color is gorgeous, the condition is pristine -- and, it has a unique background.

Absolutely fantastic.

My hat's off to you...:eusa_clap :eusa_clap :eusa_clap

Cheers,
JtL

Hat City Hat Co. satin finish
It looked like dryer lint out of the box, but a little brushing, and it was ready to go.

Lefty, I must say that when I saw that hat on Ebay I thought wow, that is one fuzzy hat, and I thought I could certainly never pull it off. But, now that you have brushed it I am just amazed. Beautiful. :eusa_clap

Sunbody 2-1/2" Tear Drop...
very well made, alot heavier than I was expecting.
Word to the wise...heed Sundody's sizing recommendations.
I wear a 7 3/8 but ordered a 7 1/2 and the fit is perfect, just slightly snug.

I'll mess with the bash a little later and will definitely replace the ribbon.

Bought this hat primarilly for work since it can get wet.

2 new hats in 2 days...wow.;)

Agreed - that is a beautiful result, Lefty. I had a fairly big snipe on it, but couldn't picture it actually sitting on my head, so withdrew. But after your brushing and turning down the brim, I can certainly see it on my head (my birthday's coming up).

Twilson - I'm jealous. Moved here from Georgia 3 years ago and I'm missing the sun and the beautiful Spring you all get.

The only problem here right now is the awful pollen...all cars are lime green!

Looking good Twilson, look forward to what ribbon you put on it.
