Just finished this one, a generic 40's fedora, sent open crown. Med brown ribbon. I think this gray is as good as I have seen for the hat on the plane. This hat pictured is definitely gray, with a brownish undertone. May not show up that way on your monitor, but it does on mine. Much lighter than the charcoal gray that I have sold. regards, Fedorahttp://public.fotki.com/Fedora/hats/raiders_gray2.html

That's a pretty gray, Steve! The ribbon color surprises me. Regards! Michaelson

Yeah, Michaelson, this is a very nice gray, in fact, I have a vintage Cavanagh that is practically identical in color. Other than the Cavanagh, this new felt is the only gray that I have seen that is like this shade. I am looking at the Hj catalog, or a pic of it, and the hat at 3 or 4 oclock seems to be a gray of a very similiar shade. Only trouble is this gray is a special color and I must place an order, and then wait to tag in on a big order so I can get it. I am tagged in, again, and this time I will hopefully be able to afford to buy a couple of dozen to have on hand. I want to be able to get to the point to where I can buy up enough so I never run out, and then have to wait. regards, Steve

Oh, the med brown ribbon brings out the brownish undertone. Wonder what a black one will do to it? Umm, have to wait until I finish this next one to see, since it is getting a black one. Fedora

This belies my contention that the Raiders gray also had a dark brown ribbon. Very nice.

That is another work of art, Steve! Well done! It looks good with the brown band; exactly like the hat coming up the stair on the tri-motor in Raiders. Awesome!

Steve, that's the exact shade of grey I want for my next Adventurebilt! Just wait till I'm employed again and can start saving up hat money! I'm really interested to see what it looks like with a black ribbon, too.

Great work Fedora, the pic we were all waiting for and hoping for.

I'm with you Bink, my next hat for certain. Probably sooner than later as the 'gotta have it' takes over, suppose it is time to start skipping dinners again.... IF
