Dang, brother...
That looks great! I'm Blune away!

Where'd you get the vintage felt?

My vote for next color... a deep brown.

Congratulations.

I want to make a deep brown one as well... And basically I turned into an internet scavenger to find the felt. It was a while back so I don't actually remember which ebay or etsy source I got it from, but I do remember thinking the source wasn't reliable for future purchases... one-off =\

So it will likely be a while before I can find a vintage cap in brown. Maybe I'll just find a trash lid on ebay to sacrifice.

Not even 40 hours in at the new job and I've been up all night being dizzy, nauseas and vomiting. Pinched nerve in the neck at C-1 I'm thinking. Both of my go-to chiropractors are out of the office today so I am heavily drugged for the moment.

I posed for pics and soon I am going to attempt to lie down and get some sleep... if the room doesn't start spinning again. Pain is one thing, but this shiite is debilitating. I thought back and my first episode of this was in about 1980 so 37 years of this **** is really getting old.

Anyway, here's a quick outdoor pic of the new Gannon natural beaver with frayed slate ribbon and a twisted bow keeper. Belgian ribbon finishes off the brim. Couple more pics in the Gannon thread.

Not the greatest pics and they do no justice to the great colors, especially those in the bow.
