Here is my new fedora made by Polish manufacturer 'Almina' from city of Lodz. It cost about 60$. I think it is "close enough"

I'll put more photos tommorow

I have to say that fedora looks nice to me!
I like the crease you put in it. Does the hat have a liner ? And what type of edge does it have?
Overall I have to say you did good!!!!

The hat arrived pre-shaped so I did nothing but putting it on my head

Here are some photos of prototype (from the producer):

Does the hat have a liner ?

Unfortunatelly there is no liner.

And what type of edge does it have?

I don't now.

WOW Thanks for the other photos !
I really do like the looks of that hat. I would say it has a raw edge, it has no bound edge and it is not folded over and sown.
I also like the way the bow looks... different from most I have seen!
as I said, I think its a great looking hat!!! It looks as if it will get better with use.

I really like the look of that. I'd snatch one of these up for $60 any minute.

The rolled bottom of the ribbon is definitely a nice character touch. Great find!

Sixty clams? You can't beat that with a stick. Good find. A decent looking lid at a good price.

Cheers!

Hey Kaczor, do you have a website where you got this hat. The more I see it the better I like it.

http://www.almina.pl/ Mostly ladies hats. There is no fedoras on web page, so you should send e-mail for more information. I have no idea if they post abroad.

Thank you!
Does the hat have a style name that I could ask for?

Just ask for Indy-style fedora
