Looks great, Mark!
Kinda sounds like you may be casting shade on the, “Shoving it under the car seat method” which, and surely here I’m not alone, I highly recommend for the well heeled, discerning fedora wearer who’s out to impress his most tasteful peers. :-)
Hot off the press blue Knox Madison Avenue.
Got it cheap. Was a 2 1/4” ribbon with back bow and a 2 1/4” overwelt.
Now a bit over 2 1/2” with decorative stitching and a TAR hatband.
Its true color best represented by the underside photo. I love this one!
Thanks for the compliments, guys.
It was a fun build and Mark is of the best clients to work for. Any hatter is lucky to work with him.
