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?

Cool looking lid you have there! The brim edge almost looks welted. Very interesting. :tup:

Cheers!

as much i would love to tell you the height and stuff i wasnt specific at all to PB when i ordered it all i said was make it a Raiders of the lost ark and they said ok and that was it and that you will get it in 6-8 weeks
is there a way to measure it if so then i will do that then and let you know

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

That's one fine looking PB, my friend. They make a class product.

Regards! Michaelson

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...)
:D

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

its a stiff and ive soften it a little so the crown isnt as stiff as it was when new everything else is still stiff but not as much as i flex it and shape it or bend back and forth
