Silk over leather sweatband

[Brad Bowers]

I suppose that's always a possibility. However, if it was effective at being cooler for summer wear, I think we would have seen it become a standard, rather than the rarity that it is.

Finally some pics

I tried bashing this hat many ways. Its a very easy hat for dry bashing. In the end I decided on a classic center crease but I may change my mind.

Anyway, here are some pics if you're interested:

You can faintly see the Guild and Dobbs logos here:

Finally, I'd appreciate opinions on whether the brim is too small for my face. At 2 1/4" it's the smallest brim I have. My other hats are 2 1/2" and bigger:

Thanks!

Any advice on the brim width?

It looks fine to me, but then, that hat has the dimensions I like to see in a hat.

Thanks.

Thanks. I used to think that I didn't look good with smaller brims because of my broad face, but now I think the problem is with crowns. Small brims are OK (up to a point) but low crowns are a definite no-no for someone like me.

Thanks for the opinion. I appreciate it.

Roll up?

Any ideas on whether this hat could be rolled up? Maybe the fabric wrapped sweat was meant for that too since it is much lighter than a typical sweat. Also, it would be nice to have a hat that can be rolled up for travel.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

The taller crown combined with the narrow brim sort of frames your face but draws the whole picture higher. I think it works well for you.

Thanks, Sue. It's become a fav. I think I'm going to try rolling it to see if that works, so I can use it for traveling. I just don't want to screw it up.
