Excellent hat

I think the bow looks great...where did the design originate?

Similar ribbon styles have been used on military slouch hats- in the Indian War and SpanAm eras fur instance-

Hey, that's pretty cool, a Teddy Roosevelt "Rough Riders" hat! I never knew that about the bow. Do you have one of these, or did you get something different from Dirty Billy? I hadn't heard of him before, looks like he's got some neat hats.

I could do that same hat with my block, as tall as it is. Hmmm...

Meant to say, "You look good in that hat, Spiridon!" and got sidetracked by the links Sharpetoys posted. So, "You look good in that hat!"

You probably won't have it with you when you come through Utah next month, will you? When is your race again?

Spiridon,
As a man you are a class act.
The hat looks good on you.The bow is not my taste but we all are different with what we like.

I have several hats from Art Fawcett and Steve Delk and when you order one from them I know you will be happy with there work.

I can attest to this. The man is a fine and generous person.
Mrs RedPop4 and I are proud as can be to call this man our friend.

Thank you Tommy, I am indeed blessed to have you and Mrs. RedPop as friends.

Hey Brad.....as a matter of fact I most certainly do plan on having this particular hat with me while I'm in Utah. The race will take place the last weekend of June.....I hope we can hook up at some point and time while I'm in the area. I'm also looking forward to putting to use an offering from PanamaBob. I'll also be taking along an AB hat which one of our friends here hooked me up with......with these 3 hats in tow, I should be prepared for just about anything!

Thanks for the feedback guys.
I really enjoy seeing everyones offerings and admiring the work of the different hatters.....the nuances and signature styles are very interesting and always a thing of beauty.

I just went back to the race's website and looked at their map. You'll be coming right down Hyrum's Main Street, just a block south of where I live. Man, it's on a Friday, though! I'll have to see if I can get off work. You'll have to let me know if you'll have extra time up here so we can get together.
