    Thank you Sir. Yes Sir that is always a good feeling and sometimes it just unexpected. I thought that one of my other Indiana Jones hats in gray would sell before the 7 1/8", maybe I should make another 7 1/8" and put on Ebay, I just wish that I had another Dark Gray in 120G FEPSA Beaver to use.

    Thank you Captain, The felt that I used for this hat is a 100% rabbit 120G FEPSA, it turned out pretty good, I just wish that I had more than one FEPSA in this color, some brown and sable colors would be great too.

    I haven't done any brim bindings since the GBU Eastwood hat, now that you mentioned it the grey with a black hat band and a black brim binding would look good. I am not sure how that would turn out since I have only done brim binding one time and the only way for that to look right would be to...

    I shipped a hat by FedEx on Wednesday and the customer received the hat this morning and I didn't drop the package off until noon on Wednesday, I purchased extra insurance and the service cost a little more because of the insurance, but it was worth the cost. I checked to see what it would cost...

    It is so bad right now that I am afraid to ship anything anywhere by any shipping company. I have to find one that I can depend on or just quit and that would really hurt, since I have a built up stock of fur felt hat blanks to use for hats. I guess that I could just insure the package for...

    The 14"x14"x7" works pretty good for me, even with those deminsions sometimes I have to put the hat in the box and push the brim down a little so the hat will fit without causing a crease or curve to form in the brim that shouldn't be there. the problem is that the front and back of the brim...

    Thank you Sir, Looks like a plan to me, the weight of my packages have all been a little over 1 pound and I ship in a 14" x 14" x 7" cardboard box, I use foam core poster board to make a cylinder that I tape down in the center of the box, then put bubble wrap, or brown wraping paper around the...
