Been working on this throughout winter. Took BCF budget hat, a bit too small for me, to experiment with brim width, Span-Am War crimp and thin ribbon replacemnt. Not satisfied with the result, but as soon as I get some shots of my re-bashed Open Road will post them. Would like to change out the robbon for a 5/8" grosgrain. Brim was reduced a bit too much for my taste. I do like the lines, the taper is not prominent in the side view, for those who cannot stomach any taper. Given the source of the style, taper is integral to the look. Certainly not a dress formal or metropolitan fedora, but there's plenty of those around. Work will continue.
