Early 1940s Vita Felt Stetsonian

this thing had an awful ribbon put on it at some point in its life (pictured below) so I commissioned Tim @Cane Rod Maker over at Alley Kat to get it back to the glory it once held.

Tim did an unbelievable job... this hat quickly became one of my absolute favorites minutes ago when I opened the box that arrived from PA

the felt on this hat is absolutely ridiculous... Tim can attest to that... it deserved to have a proper ribbon put back on it

and after Tims magic touch

Super find, Ant! And great job, @canerodmaker.

Is it a dark gray or are there some blues in it?

Jim , it's more blue than anything
It's the same color as my Vita Felt Eagle which is what Stetson called "freedom blue"

If not I bet there will be soon...
and some jazz, some rock, maybe a little country...

I'd much prefer it on my head with Moon's stamp on it.

I know "taste" is subjective, but who would do that to such a nice hat???

My thoughts as well, Al. Someone that never looks in the mirror?

Or someone with a strange sense of humor.

Looks nice, how is the felt? Mine will be here on Friday. Can't wait!

That's hard to answer Red. The crown is stiff, but the brim is soft. It does not snap down with a smooth break. Instead it takes a bit if a hump where it turns over, which I find problematic, but I like the look of it up, so I'll leave it that way.
I'm pleased, but not impressed, if that makes sense.
