Wow! That is great Bob. I love the color of felt and ribbon. The finish looks nice!
Thanks D-d! I'm really enjoying the touch of lime in the ribbon color. The felt invites being felt.

Size is 61 centimeters or 7 5/8 US. Measuremets are: raw brim at 6.5 cm. and open crown at 14 cm.
Medium brown felt of excellent quality. It is new and never worn.
Matching ribbon at 2.5 cm.
It arrived new from a heyday of the hats. I bought the remains of the "A. Meer" hats shop some years ago
Finished very well. It was an high end hat
He is ready for all holders of suitable heads

Greetings Bob et al:
Hey Bob i made comment on your hat liner in the other thread because of this hat i’ve never posted. It came without a sweatband. Notice that the liner is still mostly sewn in.
The interesting thing is the “chalk written” numbers, 4-6-34, in date format on the felt still oversewn by the liner. I have never seen this on any hat and wonder if it was written when the hat was built. It is very nice felt i must say.
Have you or anybody ever seen this before? I think your liner is only the 3rd one i’ve seen.
Any more info from others is much welcome.
Be well. Bowen
