Excellent! Mike did a great job on my hat. Crisp and simple. Just the way I like it! I used Alan Ladd's "China" hat for inspiration and Mike nailed it! Classic '40s look. The open crown height for this one is 5 3/4 on a straight sided block. It's 4 5/8 at the pinch with the rake sloping to 4 1/4 at the back. It has a 2 3/4 raw edge snap brim. The color is Pecan with a contrasting 1 1/2 ribbon and 5 1/2 double tail bow. I finally decided on the C crown.
Some music to celebrate...

Bob, Harv, Moon, Roger, Esther, Ole, thanks everyone. I think I'm really going to like it. It's going to be my first pure Beaver felt. Mike was great to work with. Along with borrowing from Ladd's "China" hat I also sent him a couple pictures of the OR I reworked to show him what I was looking for, and he nailed it! Same dimensions, and all! Excuse me while I be a bit prejudice, but the hat he did for me is his best work!
I can't get over how nice it looks. Mike did an amazing job. Wish I had that skill.

I' sure it will look great on you.
