4 1/2 teardrop crown.
2 1/2 brim.
Amber colored straw.
1 1/2 copper ribbon and bow.


The Landman Bill by Art Fawcett.

A wonderful surprise in the mail this afternoon. I asked Art to build me a straw hat with the crown of his Landman, the ribbon of his BillB, and split the difference in the brim width (2 1/4 and 2 3/4) to make a 2 1/2. Combine Art’s model names and, as fortune would have it, as a hat to honor my late father Bill McCamey – Master Seargent, USAF, may I present the Landman Bill straw fedora.

That shows just what a Milan can and should look like. I’m filing away photos for a future hat of my own. Congratulations!

Thank you, Brent. I appreciate your camaraderie in this great hat hobby. First impression with this one, as with my new black cherry, is absolutley fantastic. This one will see a lot of miles this summer and I look forward to some cool and comfy head time.

Thanks for not telling the whole story Brent, too kind. You know when you're getting old when you make the same hat twice thinking it was correct. Of the two hats I recently made DH he wanted two different designs but in my brain I had it stuck that they were the same so, ugg. He was kind enough to send it back and allow me to rebuild it. I'm glad I hit the mark this time Sir.

Thank you for such a great hat. It’s something I’ll enjoy for many years.

I’m still hopeful that Winchester will figure out dove gray (confederate too). Please let us know.

A while back I told everyone that Winchester was having trouble duplicating my Dove color and just for kicks I asked for one of the samples that were off in color. They sent it and I was impressed with the color it came out. Although definitely NOT Dove, it was a pretty cool grey. I had them ship 12 bodies because I thought you guys might like a "one of thirteen" color, not to be repeated. I'm calling it "Glacier" and here is the first hat made of this color. This one is mine, let me know your thoughts? I already have orders for two so ten will still be available.

If that would look good with a burgundy ribbon, I think I might like that. Should we go on your website to order?

IT has a slight blue undertone BBoy. Not as much as Blue smoke but still there.

Sure, just go to "Shop" , then "Deposit" and put this in the remarks Robieman. I don't have this hat on the site
