I can't work out multiquote so also responding to @moontheloon.
This is a FrankenStrat I think. The brim has definitely been cut which is a shame as the felt is not so bad, not great.
The brim is 2.25mm / 0.08" thick using a micrometer.
It is possible that the liner and sweat were merged to a felt but if so, it was done some time ago. There is verdigris on the reed and the ribbon was sewn. There is some silky oil cloth behind the sweat.
The colour contrast is pleasing and I almost want to send it off to a hatter to refine the brim trim, but I will probably move it on.
