So cool. Those lids are so far and few between.

Looks great, Alan. I could have sworn the brim was 4" but I'm glad it ended up being shorter. A wonderful job, as usual, by Josh - he's a magician!

Many thanks for the comments!

Garrett, I'm thrilled with the hat. 4" would have been fine, but these proportions are much more easily worn. And Josh's work does look like magic but I think it is pure heart and soul.

Thanks again!

Glad it worked out. This is what the lounge is all about!

Very very nice Alan!

Alan - Josh has done a superb job, and the model does a decent job of wearing it

Thanks... I've added some additional photos in a side by side comparison with another Stetson Nutria here.

That is a beaut. That belongs in a museum. (the hat, not you Alan).

Stetson Boss Raw Edge - Clear Nutria -2

It's positively raining nutrias... here are photos of my Bossa Nova. After some careful work with a stiff brush and vacuum it cleaned up nicely.

Thank you Garrett!

Absolute perfection, Alan!

 

[Joao Encarnado]

Where in the world do you find them...
Another amazing hat, Alan.

 

[ManofKent]

That's some brim Alan!

 

[alanfgag]

Thank you.

Joao, this one found me... it was a gift.

Richard, the brim is 4", with curl it extends 3 3/4" front and back and 3 3/8" on the sides. Easy as pie.

Here's what it looks like on:

Flawless!

Thanks Justin, it has some nice moth divots to keep it honest.

The clear nutria posted previously that Josh worked on is unbelievably clean. I don't know how he done it. I put in a couple of shallow dents the other day.

 

[splintercellsz]

Beautiful. Alan, you are a hat whisperer

 

[hatophile]

Wow, that clear Nutria is phenomenal!
