Perfect! Nik this is outstanding. I'll be talking to Art in the next week or so, and this will be the model for what I'd like. I'll have to think a bit about that flange, though; I, too, prefer a flatter brim.
Thanks again for everything. Can't wait to see the end result-

Many of you know this already, but this is the first time I've tried it. I'm trying to break in a FQHH HB Deluxe that's like a suit of armor- particularly trying to shorten up the sleeves.
I sprayed them with scalding water using the dish spritzer on the kitchen sink. PRESTO! Made them...
I see more of them all the time here in Chicago. It's becoming pretty common to salute one another with a quick forefinger to the brim.
Yesterday I saw a fellow wearing an upturned brim and Ray Ban Clubmasters. Thought it must be Che for a minute.
