Sorry for the bad pics, the camera's dead and I had to use my cell...

Before the bash...

After the bash....

What do you guys think?
*Special thanks to Mr. Paladin for the tip on working the brim.

what color is it?
It looks different in each pic.

Is the back higher than the front? Might try lowering it a "hare" in the back.

Sorry, my cell camera doesn't like light. It's Dark brown.

I'll give it a shot...

I agree with IC. Is that a dry bash[huh]

I used a little steam on the pinch so it would hold the way I like it, but the rest is dry.

Hat looks good on you:eusa_clap

Yep...what CB, et al said.
I like that bash. May change mine to that just to check it out. But higher in front. Thinking that it will raise it too high overall for my liking though.

Don't want to 'jack your thread...so, here's a post I just put up of my FIVD Dark Brown that I received just a few days ago.

Randal, can you reference the post where Paladin gave the brim tips?

Thanks!

Nice work Randal! It does look good on you. I do agree with the others that you might try raising the front a bit; and with all that nice empty divot in the top of the crease, a teardrop might look great too. These hats are great fun to play with and change as you want!

 

[Randal]

I took your guys' advise and worked on the back a bit. I like it better this way. Thanks!

Sorry again for the bad cell pics, and the first 3 pics are backwards b/c the portrait feature on the phone reverses them for some reason.

nice hat there I wonder what is it made out of and what is the cost

Randal, those pics show the back brim much better and it looks like it came out nicely. Did it lift as high as you wanted?

Yeah pretty much. I really appreciate the help, sir.

Great bash, Randall...

I'll have to try out both the Indy and diamond bashes before I settle on one I like with my new Fed. Yours is making me rethink it!

It's made of fur felt and is sold at Hats Direct.
