I know you've all felt that great feeling as you pull into your driveway and see a box waiting for you on your porch! :D

While I had some of Dad's old fedoras to play with as a kid, I consider this my first REAL bash job...honest opinions please!

Added a top pic billyspew =) Not totally symmetrical...but neither am I! =D

Looks good, I like the long side dents (maybe make them slightly deeper?)
Have you got a shot of the top of the crown?

deeper? it looks like they already take up the whole front half of the hat to me [huh] I think it looks great!

Nicely done, Tampahound! Is that the Tawny Fawn standard or the Heritage Fawn deluxe? Either way, it looks great. I may have to deepen my pinch, looking at these...and nice job on the bash...I couldn't get a teardrop or diamond to my liking so reverted to the center crease. You've done well with this.

Very nice TH. It is very easy to get addicted to that feeling about which you're talking. I'm itching to buy another hat myself.

Johnny - The Feds have a snap brim that you can wear curled up or down. Which way I snap mine in the back changes day to day depending on what I'm wearing and just how I feel about it that day, although I wear it snapped down more often - my wife likes it snapped down.
