Great hat, Russ! I think going with a bow on the ribbon was the right choice, too. Yours is the hat that the 'Fedora' hat should have been. I might have gone with no liner at all. The movie hat felt does look very thick. I think it's a great hat to emulate. http://img246.imageshack.us/img246/9545/0...
