The "Tawny Fawn" color is really beautiful. It is a "dark tan"...to the point of being almost called "light-medium brown". The ribbon and matching bound edge is a true medium-dark brown, and looks super nice. I feel that this Tawny Fawn color would actually better represent the Indy color than some of the super dark brown out there now. I never thought the hat looked that dark in the movie.
The crown is advertised as being 5 1/4" high, but I knew that had to be a misprint, as it looked so much taller. By my measurement, it's about 5 3/4", best I can tell. My finished crown height (at the very front) is about 4 1/2". My center crease is not too deep, and there's no hitting the top of my head with it at all. It bashed VERY easily. The brim is 3" wide, and it is stiff enough so I can put my curl on it, which I cannot do with a floppy hat. It comes with little chin stap hooks, which are pretty neat and unobtrusive, and they can be easily covered by a wider ribbon, if desired (the right side is covered anyway). I even got a chin strap for it, but haven't put it on yet.
I might fiddle around with the brim a bit more, but I am substantially happy with my work on a hat that I am totally happy with! I cannot recommend this hat (and David Morgan) enough, and an enterprising individual could easily make a superb Indy hat from it!
Without further adieu, the photos...
Notice, by the way, I'm now wearing a size Large shirt and 34 jeans (all my XL shirts and 36 jeans are all now too big for me!)
What do you think? Bill Jordan?
Oh, I also just ordered an Akubra Federation in this same color from HatsDirect! I can only hope it is as nice as this one!
It's nice to see the Squatter on someone's head. I've always been impressed with Akubra hats. It looks good on you. 
Could apply to watches too, among other things...
