That looks super nice! How did you do it? I just got a christys fur felt bowler myself (the standard one) and the brim curl compared to my Herbert Johnson (which is too small unfortunately) is mediocre, at best.Speaking of which, the 100th anniversary of the sinking is in two weeks on the 15th.
Bored on a Saturday morning, so I spent a few minutes improving the brim curl of my modern Christys fur felt bowler. It's a fairly easy process. Smoother curl, and turns in more at the sides now.

I just recieved this shot of the derby Mike Moore has made for Mr Therrell.
I was at the shop when he was ordering this hat and was wanting to be sure to see the finished product.
Turned out pretty cool I think.
Looking good there Mr T !!!!
Required reading? A very funny article about the genuine article, the helmet-like traditional British coke hat, from the self-appointed last man in london to wear a bowler regularly.

That is super cool! I think you need one, Jeff.
J. Hückel´s Söhne Plume Melone, size 6 Point, plus hat case. Feather light, flexible and fits perfect (wears like a soft felt). Definitely my current favorite.
