Bowlerman I lack adequate words to descirbe this so I will simply say that hat looks damn good
looks very nice on you, Jeff. Congrats!
Interesting brim treatment! Looks great on you Jeff. Parker makes some nice lids.
With that color combo, it looks like the 'cousin' of my Optimo Dillinger.
You really came up with a great looking hat Jeff.

You may only have a family of two, but two damn nice hats.
If they are beaver hats, then the proper spelling should be "..two DAM nice hats."
It's wonderful.
Beautiful hat! I was wondering though which felt type that is; standard rabbit, vintage, or beaver? The diamond crease reacts exactly the way that I'm after, but since I haven't been able to get it right with other modern rabbit felt hats, I was leaning towards vintage or beaver... Though if it'll work with the standard rabbit he has, then I'm all for the lower cost there.Here is my new Falcon Park custom. I stole the "Julep" design from the website but put my own spin on it. I added a yellow accent and my favorite part of the hat is the diamond crease. Brim is 2 3/8 inches bone felt with summer blue ribbon
Awesome, does it feel thinner/lighter than say an Akubra Federation? I know the standard rabbit is thicker than vintage hats so I was leaning towards the vintage weight. I have a Moonstone Fed IV and was hoping for something thinner/lighter, but the way it creases in your pics, I'm now leaning back towards his standard weight rabbit.It's rabbit and it reacts perfectly
Good to know, thanks!I have never handled an Akubra I am sorry. All I can go on is my feel and the feel is the softest I have handled. Give Parker a call or an email he can help you a bucnh. This hat was based on his Juelp design my red one is called the Fat Tuesday. You gotta be sure to talk about the diamond crease though he does a great job with it.
