Tha hat size is 7 3/8" crown height in front is 4.5" and the back crown height is 4", a black grosgrain hat band 1" wide with a hat band bow 5.5" long, the brim is 3.25" wide in front and back and the brim width on the sides is 2.75" with a 1/2" pencil curl, pinched front crown with small depressions on each side.

All feed back welcome.

Hello Fedora Fans,

I am working on a silverbelly FEPSA right now, the brim is cut to 4 1/8" the open crown is 5.5", hat size 7 3/8", I will be putting a Roan Sheepskin sweatband in this hat.
This hat is going to be a challenge, I have been thinking about this style hat for a while, not sure how well it sale or if it will. I am thinking about making a Josey Wales Outlaw hat with a 1/2" kettle curl, I will be trying my hand at giving the hat a weathered look, the fun part will be to take a yellow calvary hat band with the scorns and changing the color to a gray color, the crown height front will be 4 1/2" and 4" back, teardrop shape with the center of the teardrop pretty much flat, that will be an interesting challenge, I will have to shape the crown before I sew a sweatband into the hat, that way I should be able to flatten out the center of the tear drop and keep the sides of the crown straight, the brim 1/2" kettle curl will be done by hand another challenge. I may put a light gray hat band made of grosgrain around the base of the crown, a small backing behind the calvary hat band. Maybe I should have started out with a lite gray fur felt, however this is a FEPSA felt. I have been checking out the ways to weather the hat, a couple of ways for the sweat stains is tea or coffee, weathering the entire hat for a lite gray might be a problem. However they used Silverbelly in the movie.
Here is how the hat looks now.

Have a Great week,
Darrell
