Yeah, that'll make your patients feel more relaxed.Ana says she'll make me one in velvet.
That last picture looks strangely familiarI sort of followed your advice and am asking Hufvud to make me a Zorro hat in beaver, Brent.

It's a cool hat, Jonesy, but my eye keeps getting drawn to that insane collection of ribbons in the background. O, to get my hands on those....This is the latest on my pandanus Vanuatu cowboy hat.
Still some work to tidy it up and get the trimming on. I’m using a black sheen cord which will have brass tips on the ends. (its just pinned at the moment)
This is 9cm brim and 11cm crown from head line to the bottom of the pinch. I think this taller crown will balance with your facial proportions.

I was hoping so.Five inch brim? Looks like something right up your alley
I'm now waiting for a hat from Panama Hats Direct. <fingers crossed>
I've posted the pictures they sent me and some info on it in the Panama Hats subforum: https://www.thefedoralounge.com/threads/panama-hat-thread.38152/page-202#post-2528319
Hahahaha.... a lot of us here have been there.... buying more than we think we should have. But it's going to be so exciting when your hats come in. Pics please!And I hadn't mentioned it previously since I was ashamed of my lack of self control, but I'm expecting a Brent Black Hemingway with a Storm Gray ribbon to arrive in the mail later today. <blush>
I really like how Mr's Fawcett and Black send out tools/samples to ensure the sizing is correct. Makes me soooo much more willing to risk a mail order hat.

It's finally made it to the US! ...
I had that happen with an international shipment once. The parcel went from South America to the U.S., then to Germany, then back to the U.S. and was eventually delivered. The explanation I was given was that the carrier's main sorting/routing hub was in Germany and that, for reasons not explained, each and every package in their care had to pass through that hub for tracking purposes. At the time it sounded like a weak excuse for accidentally routing that package incorrectly, but that was their story and they stuck to it.Annnnnddddddddd .... it's in Amsterdam, Netherlands!?

This is a bit of a dumb question, but I'm curious about what the general consensus will be: Which thread should we post in once these hats arrive? ...
