I received another one today from @Bill Hughes.

Here is his description:

<<
1950-60s Stetson Whippet like fedora

Restored Stetson in Whippet style size 7 1/4. Brim is 2 1/2. Has new sweatband.
Color of fur felt is very light sage green almost a cream.
Crown ribbon is Rust with windcord.
Binding is pale champagne.
Felt has few imperfections but it is clean. >>

Normally when I get a new-to-me hat I put it aside and study it for a while. This one? I steamed and adjusted the crown a bit, putting a diamond in and bringing the front down a touch, popped it on my head, and went out to run errands.

I am blown away by the colors, feel, brim swoop, and overall shape. The proportions are perfect for me.

Glad you like it. I think you improved the crown.
