That is SWEET!!!!!

I can not figure out something though. My first hat I blocked was a ruff 5 3/4 open crown. Then I dropped it a half inch and it looked so short. Looking at this..and I like this hat it seems that from the ribbon to the top of the pinch is a nice height. I guess what I am getting at is no matter what I do...my hats seem either to tall or to short.

Anywho...that is a very nice hat!!!!

Cheers from Ohio

cool PB. i have one too, but my crown is actually only 5 1/2 inches.
and my brim measures a bit under the standard specs all around.

I was wondering what your hat's specs are, so what are they?
Crown?, Brim front & back?, Brim sides?

front is about 2 3/4 inch and back is 2 3/4
i love this hat its nice and sturdy and stays in one place and the brim all around stays where i move it because the edge was flat when i got it and i just shaped it and shaped it and now its perfect

Nice hat, indyfan1234.
:)
Gotta say, though...whenever I see that Peter Bros. Fedora of yours, I think "Man, that hat is one tall glass of water!"
Some guys get a little nervous and feel a little awkward with even the most "average-sized" crown on an Indy hat (whatever that might be)...
So, my hat's off to you, indyfan1234:
If you've got the swagger and devil-may-care attitude to "pull-off" (so-to-speak) one of Peter Bros. proud, tall crowns... then, "good on ya!" (as my people say...)

Oh, is this the floppy or stiffer version? I forgot to ask before.
