Cheers, I went with Slate in the end. It has this subtle smokey hue, floating between grey and brown with mauve undertones in certain light. Very lustrous and wonderfully suited to the natural felt. Very complimentary. Ashen green was a close call, and the tie breaker for me was the wifey...

Michael finalised my hat's details, and went with his vintage Slate ribbon, with a single grey stitching along the brim. Michael blocked the hat 5 1/4in high on a #52block at 59.5 size with 2.5in brim. Very classic proportions. With the natural felt and that old ribbon, the hat looks like its...
