Does my dream hat exist?

Russ -- what a great hat! And you look good in it. Glad you didn't get that wild west hat -- a somewhat higher crown and you'd be heading for Tom Mix territory.

Art scores again!

Thanks for the photos.

That is a beautiful hat Russ. If you don't mind I think I will remember that shape for the future. Quite grand!

You now have your inspiration hat....

Russ,
What a great hat you got from Art Fawcett... The bound edge looks perfect on your fedora. Art really knew how to bring your vision to life.
Isn't it funny that one of this earths best hatters doesn't even call himself a Master Hatter. Class I'd say...:eusa_clap :eusa_clap

It is a unique shape. With that shape and the thinner ribbon it is not really a golden era fedora, but I think more reminiscent of a generation or so before that time.

Russ, that is exactly what I like about it. It has a hint of a couple of my hats The Boss Raw Edge and #1 Quality. Both have wonderful shapes but since they are of advanced age I don't wear them much. I have a fondness for that shape, sort of in between a western and a fedora. You have a beautiful hat sir.SUGOI !!

After I've fiddled with it

Here is the hat now that I've reintroduced a hand shaped diamond bash and slight dents. I like it even better now.
