Reporting in from "The belly of the beast," near Boston. The snow has turned to rain in my neighborhood. Yuck! Still, it's no match for a Peters Brothers classic felt!

It's still hot over here, but I wanted to take blue monkey creation #2 out for a spin! The felt is Czech rabbit by way of ManHatCo in NY; the leather and lining is from lounger @bond .

My personal critique -- I need to block these with higher, straighter crowns -- I find that my current block doesn't provide enough slack to get really creative with the crease sculpting. Still - I'm pretty happy with how it turned out!
Wow!
Great job! Looks awesome. I wish I could sew that straight.

THAT's exactly what I was talking about, Moon!!! @Knotten you should travel with your own or band, playing your theme song as you enter the room!!
Just got a break at work and saw this. Love it! I've always said I'd like to travel with a group of trumpeters who would play a fanfare before I entered any room. Maybe then I could get some respect around here.

Holy smokes!
Look at you! Thats good work. I've seen hats by people that make them way longer than you have that are less nice by miles.
