It's a beaut, to be sure. MrsFed and I went to see the movie together. I'm usually the one telling her to be quiet with her remarks during movies, but before I even knew what I happened - as soon as he came on the screen with that blue beauty - I -had blurted out, "WOW, LOOK AT THAT HAT!!!!!" LOL...

I love everything about the hat. Plans to get a custom made are on hold pending funds....
Glad I'm not the only one who was quite taken with it. I've also been thinking of getting one custom made. Out of curiosity, how would you describe the hat? Dimensions? Do you also see a slight side taper?

The Camp Draft has a 2 7/8" Brim , and I think 5 1/2 or 5 3/4" Open Crown (I'd have to look to be accurate). Its what I think or wish The Open Road was . I like the cord , but it really changes the looks , and no trim , too . I bet the crease makes it look tapered . It happens .

I'm thinking 5-3/4" open crown, maybe 2-3/8" or 2-1/2" brim (looks stingy to me, but I don't like super stingy brim hats for me), without taper. I think any taper seen is just the angle of the shot. A double box side bow, but I'd go with a shark's gill bow (just personal preference). And I might go with either a center crease or rough diamond crease as opposed to the teardrop style of the movie hat.

I'm not a purist... even with cooking recipes, I always change it up.
