The hat as it was received from the ebay auction:
After renovation at the Brass Rooster, which included a new sweatband, cleaning, blocking, flanging on an authentic Stratoliner flange, and blocking on a vintage hat block:
It wasn't brown when I received it, but remove 70 years worth of dirt, and brown is what you get! I asked John to crease it on the block because the short, tapered crown (yes, I said the short tapered crown) is harder for me to hand crease and he had the vintage Stetson block.
A little disappointed that it's brown but I'll live with it. I have an A2-style jacket from US Authentic that I can wear it with.
