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.

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! ;)

It's finally here and it looks and fits great! Pure Beaver felt. It definitely has the '40s vibe that I was looking for. Mike did a great job on it. I couldn't be happier! It has a nice tall straight sided crown with a 2 3/4 brim....

Man TJ , Love that Hat ! And I've been wanting to say , I really like your Posts , Reviews , Pics , and Music added , Great Old Music , sets the mood . Thanks TJ , I enjoy them ! Carl Perkins is from around here , grew up just north of me , then lived about 35 minutes south/southeast in Jackson . Go by his house all the time . My daughter loves "Going to Jackson" By Johnny and June Carter Cash about going to Jackson to visit Carl . She and her husband , when they lived in Nashville , would go with a crazy Friend of her's and her Friend's Husband (and Big time Dr at Vandy) and sing it on karaoke nights , ... yeah they're crazy . Great Songs ! Great Hat ! That's the Pecan Beaver , right ?

Now that's a great looking pecan right there, Terry! The brown ribbon suits both you and the hat.

I'm not sure about the 40s-look, though. You don't look a day over 35 :D
