Sears Pilgrim...

Some neat felt/ribbon and shirt colour matching going on there, Mario.....
(Hmm, methinks I've done this one before!:p )

Definitely a nice looking Pilgrim though. Proportions work really well for you; not too wide, not too high, not too swoopy..... but not too stingy either! :eusa_clap

We stopped at Indigo Lake in the Cuyahoga Valley National Park on the way home to snap a few pics.

Triple-thick, stitched on the wider underside but none visible on the top overlap which resembles a Mode Edge.

I know that underwelts can often give the appearance of a mode edge on top -- is that what's going on?

No, it isn't pressed up, there are three layers of felt. The bottom overlap is about twice as wide as the top so that the inner row of stitching attaching the felt creates a row on top inside of the narrower top over wrap(similar to Homburgs). The top felt overlay has the dimensions and appearance similar to a Mode Edge and shows no visible stitching. The total edge is quite thick.
