Oh, I am absolutely ENAMORED with this lid. I bought this today from Strider and could not be more happy with it. Love love love. Squee.

Pardon the homely woman under the hat, she is only there to display its glory.

Quite alright! A lot of my friends call me that. And I really do love that hat!

Y'all are too kind, really. :) It's all due to Strider's impeccable taste; he wanted to put this hat up for sale on eBay and I threw an absolute fit and demanded he sell it to me instead.

That's a very nice hat, and really suits you well. And don't sell yourself short, my lady. :TOH:

A match made in "Hat Heaven", Liz... Congrats!

I love bound brims. They behave like an entirely different animal altogether ...

PS; TST, you owe me $25 for the use of the word "ick" :lol:

Can I pay you in glitter and puppies and sparklehugs and other girly things?

And all of my fedoras have the bound edge, interestingly enough. It seems to be the typical finish for vintage fedoras in this style, with these kind of specifications.

And thank you for the kind words, guys.
