Thanks Moon. I have 1 in Pecan ArtLite as well. I'd go to 5 3/4" open crown if I was ordering another.
Art also made a Playboy replica for me in Granite ArtLite, same but no edge binding on a 2 5/8" brim.

I was actually thinking of going pecan ... great color
and I am definitely doing 5 3/4 or more if Art thinks it is doable
I originally wanted a 3" brim but Art in all his wonderful honesty said that he doesn't think it is a good idea because the felt is so thin.
so I'm going to go with a 2 3/4 bound edge.
absolutely love your hat

would you put up a pic of the pecan?

Moon: Another GREAT color Art has is LIMESTONE... if I could say, a color close to it might be called taupe...

I fell in love with that color and contacted Art about it ... unfortunately it does not come in the ArtLite felt

I got one in coyote. It is such a rich warm brown in the sunlight.
The hat is not flashy but coyote is a real eye catching color.

When did you place your original order?

 

[bobkeenan]

I am not sure exactly. I think it was late about 17 June. He said the lead time then was about 5-6 weeks. I got the conformer in about a week. And sent it back the next day. Then there were some back and forth emails on the style and type of felt. I then got a call a few days ago that I was 1st in the que and he was setting the felt on the block! I have heard that his due varies over the year.

Can't post pix, too challenged but I can put up the links.
Posted some links Sunday but I guess it was on another thread. Those were late afternoon sun.
I 've got some today, midday sun. Can't believe how the color changes.
