+2. I'm there too. How wide is the brim now?
I might get the brim cut down more eventually, but for now the wide brim serves its purpose perfectly as rain protection.

Was 3.75'', now is 3.5''. Though with the crown now an inch or so shorter, I shoulda had it trimmed down to 3 1/8. Or maybe just take off the bead band. Ah well, I'll leave it as it is for now.

It's about 4.75'' at it's highest point I think, about 4.25-4.5'' near the front. It has some front/back taper due to my being Long Oval, but the sides are nice and straight. It'll look better on me once my hair grows back out.

the higher crown never bothered me, Alex, but the lowered crown looks fantastic!

If I had Billy Jack's physique and foot-to-face skills, it wouldn't be a problem. With this hat I'm trying to create a sort of downscaled, urbanized BotP. I gotta do it piece by piece though, because once you trim something off, it's gone.
I'll have a couple more pics up in a bit with close-ups of the band, felt, and a side-profile shot.

Yes, I hope all is well for the weekend. I advised Mike via separate email that if he needs for me to postpone that is ok, let me know. Otherwise I plan to visit, making one really nice new hat and to spend time on several 'projects.'

Don't get rid of the beaded band, I like it with the hat. Looks good the way you have it now!

Thanks Hato 
. I'd have to agree with. It's a joy to wear, I had forgotten how comfortable a fitted hat was.
