I asked for light gray body with burgundy ribbon. I wanted a bound brim that matched the body, but I think she misunderstood, so the bound brim matches the ribbon instead. Makes the subtle traditional fedora I was going for a little bit more "flamboyant" (but hey, I live on the edge). There's also some interesting stitching running through the ribbon. My guess is she did this to give it the added width I requested. So overall, the hat is a bit more "unique" than I had imagined, but I really like how it turned out. I requested 5 1/2" open crown with teardrop and a 2 1/4" brim. I don't think I specifically requested tall and straight crown without taper. But this looks close enough for me. Here's the pic she sent me. I'll post more when it arrives.

That looks great. I didn't know when i ordered mine that she could do the bound brim.
the colours make it look handmade rather than storebought.
guess i'll have to order another.
i'll need more brim though to shade my aquiline proboscis

That looks fantastic Dave. Both of mine have bound brims. One wide, one thin. She did a great job on both. Can't wait to see it on your bean.

Beaver or bunny?

Thank you Rodolfo. Several on here have talked about how they gave Luisa some specs and then let her add her own touch to the design. That's definitely what this hat has, and certainly for the better. Obviously she has style, given the way she's avoiding Bob. ;)

Just looking forward to holding it in my hands (and wearing it too, of course).
