100% beaver fur felt from FEPSA
Came in at 5" Open Crown, flat sided (more so than original attempt)
2 7/8" brim width, just under 3"
This should work out okay...

Just ordered an Akubra Bogart (carbon grey) from Hats Direct. It might be interesting trying to track its progress from Oz to Indiana.

Depends on your shipping option. Their lower cost Air Mail service is not trackable. I believe the higher priced ECS service provides you with a tracking number.

I am currently into a 3 month wait on a "modified" 1930's PLAYBOY from NORTHWEST HATS. Whisky beaver felt, 6" crown, 1 1/2" dark brown ribbon, 2 1/8" raw edge brim with one row of decorative stitching. According to the last word from Mike, this could be anytime now, the wait is killing me needless to say.

I would be interested in seeing a picture of the finished product. Requested a 6" open crown on my build from Mike, but the resulting height was a bit underwhelming.
Good luck!

I have a hat waiting for me - from Buckaroo Hatters.

It was delivered to our house and is currently in my wife's clutches.

This is going to cost me, I think.

LOL! Cut the grass...? Clean the garage...? Take out the trash...? No sports on TV all week...?

Well, DelMonico's hit my credit card for this afternoon, so that must mean that my Excellent Strat has finally come in. Anxiously awaiting shipping confirmation.

After a short delay caused by a credit card glitch I am now informed that my new Akubra Bogart in carbon grey is on its way. That will give me a couple days to 'splain it to the wife who thinks two hats, one felt, one Panama, are enough.

You can always play the "shoe" card. :D

The Excellent Strat in sage has landed. Arrived yesterday, really beautiful hat, the color, the ribbon and binding are perfect. It was a long wait but worth it.

Just noticed Art sent a notification that the old Stratoliner I sent for cleaning and blocking last week is already on it's way back to me. Shipped today with a scheduled delivery of... Monday.

Man, this weekend is going to seem like it's going to last forever!
