Handcrafted by the Amish, beautifully made and detailed, more comfortable than a hat twice it's cost (literally!), and fits me...it fits ME!
I am home...
Oh yeah, I remember all too well. Former military O.R. supply logistician.
I'll probably just trim it with some scissors...

Well, here are a few shots from right before lunch. Didn't get to take pics by the lake like I wanted, wife intercepted my lunch plans with grocery shopping.
Received two compliments on the hat, and a TON of looks. it's definitely a keeper.
I'll have to modify the leather sweatband though, part...
You know...James Garner here just gave me an idea.
I'm gonna try on my deployment gear with my new hat tonight and see what it all looks like together...
This should be interesting.
Will do!
I'll be taking pics at lunch today, indoors and outdoors.
:D
Last night I spent making paracord bracelets for my wife and son. They saw I had the paracord out and asked for new bracelets...lol.
So I wound up just wrapping the hat in layered paracord instead of brading another hatband...
Hahahaha...I have yet to begin modding this hat!
All I did so far was add some
Inside and under the leather sweatband to make it fit my head, as I ordered it about 1/2 an inch too big. (Weather strip shores up the 1/4 inch gap on each side of my head)
Tonight I am braiding a paracord hatbad for...
I'd be remiss if I forgot to post the SEXY Cara Gee from "Strange Empire"...
Hottest woman to wear an Amish hat that I've ever seen....whooowee!
OOH LA LA!!!
Thank you!!
I am soooooo excited to wear it out and about tomorrow.

I'm trying my hardest not to use the last of my paracord to build a hatband for it at work.
I may just take the one I built for the bolero off and put it on the Amish.
But as for your "Car Coat" request, @OldStrummer ,....they have that too!

Get it while it's on sale!
Well, change of plans!!
After a good strip of this stuff under the leather headband...
The hat fits PERFECTLY!
Actually a little tight, but I reckon that'll subside once the foam compresses some.
All that's left is to build a paracord hatband for it and shape the brim and I'm golden...
Well, the Amish hat came in today.
It's everything I expected and more! Built right, big brim, good sized telescoped crown.
Lining AND ribbon!!
Perfect!
BUT...
I found out the hard way that 7-3/8 is about 1/2 an inch too big of a crown for my head.
Not a big problem though...hehe.
The plan is to...

So much inspiration, so much good looks...
More here...
When it comes to vests, I get a medium or large of what I like...then take it to my tailor to have it fit to my body. She does amazing work, I just hope she sticks around for a while longer...
So much great value and experience in the aged...they're truly a treasure.
