Thx Pete I'm really digging it... I wish I wasn't leaving to Oregon Monday b/c I'd have me a lighter silver belly or natural one made.

U guys r too kind thx fellas.

Ill tell him... Good info of the wear.

Correct

All the old original 1800 hat making equipment is there. My friend Cameron used it to make my fedora. Cameron has a strong passion for this and is doing everything he can to get more ppl to wear hats. He was really excited to see that I posted something on this forum. If you get a chance to stop...

Nope definatly not the case. My buddy buddy just took ownership of it this wk. he is actually calling all old outstanding orders trying to procure all that the previous owner neglected. Coincidently my buddy's brother in laws family are the founders way back in 1909.

Thx for the compliment... Oddly enough I never even thought about the blue brothers. I can kinda see it now though.

Sorry for the misspelled words, cell phone posting is not advised! Lol anyways I just wanted to show you guys the professionals to now ur true thoughts on of it looks good, bad, great, etc...

Ahh gotcha... Makes sense. Before ingot on this forum and started reading all the "standard specs" I told him I didn't want a super high crown. So he measured from my chin to middle of eye to get height before he put the top rear drop in it (which took out just a little).

What does more crown to be in balance mean?

My first fedora I've ever owned. Its custom made by my child hood buddy Who owns the oldest hat company I'm Texas ( standard hat works). 100x beaver, 5 1/4" year drop with 2 1/8" brim

New custom 100x
