I dig how it's got that fedora shape, but with larger proportions. It suits you perfectly.
Thank you, AZ. My goal was to emulate the proportions of some tall crowned and wide brimmed hats I saw in several movies from the 1940s. My favorite era for fedoras. Your work is coming along nicely as well. Good stuff.

You sure do nice work. How much do you thin the felt?

Thank you, Michael. With the heavier weight western hats I work on, especially Resistols, I try to sand them down just enough to where I can get a nice sharp crease. I use a few different grits of sand paper and sanding sponges for removing material and then finer grits for a smooth and softer finish.
