I bought this hat quite a while back but never got around to posting it.

I've been meaning to share some pics, but haven't been around for a while (work blocked forums and that was where I spent most of my FL time). In March, I received two hats from Parker, one for my father's 60th birthday gift, and one for myself. Here's mine: the Falcon model, based on Bogie's hat in several movies. It's beaver in Steel Grey (which has become my favorite colored hat, very little blue in person, it's almost a light charcoal grey), with a 2 3/8" underwelt brim and a 1 5/8" ribbon:

It was a late night, and yup that's just a T-shirt. I've been meaning to catch a pic before work some morning but it never works out that way:

Oh, and I also have two restorations with him right now. The first is my brown Fed IV which needs a reblock and new bow, and the second is a silverbelly Lee that's likely from the 40's that I'm having cleaned, new bow, and some brim work done (the later will hopefully have a great William Powell look when it's done).

He does some excellent work; I know I'll be ordering from him again, too!

Awesome, m0nk!! The underwent brim is a treat. I just re-flanged my FPH to show the welt a little more. Glad they arrived in good order. I'm sure you were in awe when you opened the box. :thumb:

Nice work, Parker!
