Wow! The felt colors are marvelous. +1 to Daniele's comments on the thread choice. Killer use of felt/stitch hues to attract the eye's attention! Well done to you and the hat recipient.

Best, Eric -

Awesome. Beautiful work, as usual.
Can't wait to put that one on my head.
I'll pick it up at your place ;)

Only if you do the secret knock ;)

Molto bello. Feltro fantastico!
The seams in tint with the felt are superb!

Thank you Daniele!

Thank you Eric! I like doing it a little different in the details.

Great felt finish and stitching!

Thank you Roger!

Love this.

Thanks Bob!

Extremely soft and lightweight.

Loved everything, even the Sweatband has a special deep mate black that is stunning, by far my favorite straw, darn close to perfection..

I am so glad I ordered it and let Esther play with the pug as headband.

This hat tells you it was made by a lady.

Unbeatable.

This came in the mail today. I must admit that, for the last couple of weeks, I have felt like a 6 year old waiting for Christmas. Esther and I have been working on this for several months. Kind of a hard set of colors to deal with and not go over the top. I asked Esther to help me with this because I knew she is a bit of a perfectionist and would not let me do something stupid.

My wife and I think it's awesome. In case you were wondering the plan was to give a nod to the USMC and particular the dress blue uniform. I always felt a little taller when I wore my uniform and I can already tell this fedora gives me the same feeling. When I started this I was thinking it would be a fedora I could only wear once a year on the USMC birthday. Esther, however, was determined to design something that would be more than dressy enough for a Marine Corps Ball and yet be subtle enough to wear pretty much anywhere. In the Marines their is a one word sentence that is used to express complete satisfaction and greatness.

OUT---STANDING!
