Thanks.

I think it‘s an improvement, but others may not.

I like it Brent. Is the color of the felt “natural”? It looks that way on my phone. If it is natural, that green ribbon looks good on it. Well, regardless, the ribbon looks good. I would never have thought of using green.

1958, at least according to the price tag behind the sweat, No. 1 Quality.

Thanks. Our friends north of the border have made some great hats. The felt is an olive and direct sunlight really brings the green out.

I've grown fond of green ribbons this year myself.

Last week was another year on this side of the dirt for me. Took this Beaver Brand and got away from the TV and internet for a few days to celebrate the occasion. Here's the view from the jacuzzi. Hope y'all enjoy it as much as I damn sure did.

Before (seller photo) and after cowboy hat. Lots of real estate to deal with and the brim was a floppy mess.

Still working on smoothing out that curl. Not sure if I’ll keep that bow on the hat band or go back to the original single loop.

That is one real nice restructuring job, WS.
I like the new bow treatment. I'd keep it, but it's your hat, so your call.

Another nice Wolfbrae rebuild. Robert just gets better and better the more jobs he has.

Bill -- I like what you've done with it. The wider 6-cord band works with the crown height better and I like the bow.

Thanks for the feedback, Steve. I think I may need to bow the brim a bit more to smooth out that curl. Not a hat I will wear but it was a good learning experience.
