Optimo underwelt fedora in “Blue Pearl”

Thinking about letting this one go - a smidge heavy on the Chicagoland vibes for my taste these days maybe - what do you guys think?

My Steve Delk is beaver, my Herbert Johnson IJ Raiders is rabbit, both hats are nice hats, I really like my new IJ from Herbert Johnson's, Michelle does outstanding work, I should have ordered this Raiders in Beaver, the felts that they use for fedora hats at Herbert Johnson are FEPSA felts and worth every penny for their hats. You should see the youtube videos of Michelle shaping the IJ Raiders fedora hats, it looks like magic, a gentle touch and the felt takes shape.

What is the felt weight? The color looks like the steel blue hat that I have on Ebay for sale, the one on Ebay is a 120 G weight rabbit, it is light weight, 3" wide brim.
