This beauty had it's brim hacked to about 1 3/4 inches. Now it's at 2 1/8 inches and looks really nice.
How do you add brim to a hat? Interesting.

Spacer + binding.
Here is the before and after.
Love the shape of that crown. Is there a name for that shape of crown?
Josh, I got a Johnnyphi Royalist. It's a brown lid with an interesting ribbon color that looks the same as the hat but is somehow different and complimentary. The only other difference I can see is my hat has a brown sweat. I find the felt to be like clay. Moldable and able to hold about any shape. Nice one.
Absolutely love this lid. Nice pick-up, Josh!
+1 I missed that one, but it's a very sharp lid. The brim width seems to suit you fine. I know I prefer 2 1/2 inch brims, and going up 1/4 seems to make a lot of difference looking from under the hat, but really it looks good on you. Nice find. Enjoy!
Well I just got my newer Borsalino from ebay yesterday. The auction said it was a dark grey, but to my surprise and excitement, the hat is actually a very nice shade of green. The thin ribbon and brim binding are a very nice shade of green as well. This hat is most definitely going to be my FedoraFest 3 hat. There are more pictures in the "Borsalino Brotherhood" Thread.
The straw is in excellent shape with a good amount of patina from age and sweat. Someday I might explore having it cleaned, but right now I'm loving the original condition. It even fits.
