New hat band, new hat. Hi Guys, Not really a new hat but I have replaced the supplied puggaree with a band and ribbon. Since the grosgrain wouldn't curve I put a folded pleat on both sides to correct for this and covered the left hand side with a ribbon. It's the first bit of sewing I've...

Thanks for the kind comments guys. Hoping to post some more soon.

Still pretty new to wearing hats but this is what I had on today: It's only a cheap hat but I was very glad of it. The sun was beating down. Steve
