WOW! is the first thing I have to say. What a wonderful hat this is, and I love it! This is my first custom made hat, and I'm suitably impressed. I've owned alot of different felt hats, from western style to fedoras. Beaver Brand, Stetson, Miller, even DP , as well as other brands, but this is, by far and away, the finest I've ever had on my head.
John, your craftsmanship is superb! The fit is perfect; the felt is butter soft and a beautiful brown; I've never seen such a great sweatband, the softest and heaviest I've ever had in a hat (very comfortable); I love the way the liner is sewn in, rather than glued; the ribbon is the best I've ever seen. Outstanding. I love everything about the hat!
You did a great job on the bash, which, by the way is Idol Grab with turn. The bash relaxed abit during the trip, but after tweaking a little, its fine again.
Yes, I know...........

Which is why I am going to ask all you neighborly souls out there, can someone tell me how to post pictures on this bloody thing. I need more info than just "link it to photobucket", please. I'm just an old soldier who's not that computer savy.
Anyway, pics to come when I can figure out how to do it.
John, thanks again for this beautiful hat. My next order, which I hope to place in a few months, will be for a China Clipper grey.
Did I mention I love this hat!
Cheers,
Andy
