This came in the mail today. I must admit that, for the last couple of weeks, I have felt like a 6 year old waiting for Christmas. Esther and I have been working on this for several months. Kind of a hard set of colors to deal with and not go over the top. I asked Esther to help me with this because I knew she is a bit of a perfectionist and would not let me do something stupid.
My wife and I think it's awesome. In case you were wondering the plan was to give a nod to the USMC and particular the dress blue uniform. I always felt a little taller when I wore my uniform and I can already tell this fedora gives me the same feeling. When I started this I was thinking it would be a fedora I could only wear once a year on the USMC birthday. Esther, however, was determined to design something that would be more than dressy enough for a Marine Corps Ball and yet be subtle enough to wear pretty much anywhere. In the Marines their is a one word sentence that is used to express complete satisfaction and greatness.
OUT---STANDING!

Oh my, that is so fantastic, the colors on the ribbon and shaped like a military chevron....you have the cake and frosting now....
Red and blue will never go over the top and Esthers ribbon work as a milllener will rise to any challenge.Thanks. The "chevron gills" are striking. The problem I was having was using the red. It's such a hard contrast. But we could not see a fedora without the red. Esther came up with what I think is the perfect solution.
I'm so glad you are happy Bill. Several iterations of this hat happened, as you know. For what it is, I think it turned out very well. Enjoy it in health my friend!This came in the mail today.
