Looks great, Steven; it even matches your 'stache!
I hadn't thought of that. You're right... thanks! I may have a new daily go-to hat now.

Everyone has such great hats lately. I'm glad I have a humble piece to contribute!

Stetson Sovereign (West?) from Byrnie Utz, Seattle
This is going to take some getting used-to; I'm accustomed to snap or western curled-up brims. This deep pencil roll, though elegant, reminds me of Red Skelton every time I look in the mirror.
Nice. For comparison purposes:
Looks great on you! I believe the best I have seen!
Please tell us more about it.
Yeah cute ladies, but I'm already spoken for.I'd marry them
I wish I had your luck, that's a really beautiful hat! I thought I did pretty well paying $70 for this new lid. I really wanted a truly non-tapered fedora, so I sprang for this fur felt sale hat on Hats In The Belfry. Looks rather '20s/'30s to my eye, despite being thoroughly modern. The felt is rather thin, but still feels great.

The right thread? I hope so. These are not my hats, even they are new. But IMHO the pictures are interesting. In 2010 I made these pictures myself in Kaili, Autonome Miao & Dong prefectuur Qiandongnan, Guizhou. The Miao women wear these costumes and hats during her wedding. Here you can see, how the hat is tightened on the head of one of the woman. They are not going to merry, just show it to me.
Thanks everyone, I'm thrilled with all the positive response here. The hat is available here. The one thing that could maybe improve is the sweatband (it's a rather comfortable grosgrain, and I'm not sure whether I like it more than leather or not). But this is one swell lid, and Hats in the Belfry has more like it, in other colors and such.
And I've got to say, Tip-Top, that's one impressive Stetson you've got!

hello,
hope you can help?
what actual colour is bessemer?

Nice pickup! It kinda has the look of this 1930s Echter Borsalino of mine.
Would it be possible for you to get a shot with the back of the brim down?
thanks!
