Mike continues to impress us all with his skills. Great looking hat, Bill.

This one arrived yesterday. The color is coffee. It's a limited beaver blend. The ribbon is 1 7/8" kangaroo with one of the back edges frayed. The brim is 2 3/4" with a matching spiral stitch. It's a bit of a hard one to photograph. I'll get some pictures in natural light to when I wear it to morning services and post them in the WHAYWT thread.

I had Mike make me his Riley in forest green. I specified a 1/2” more crown and a gentle Gus rake and I changed the brim width just a bit: still solidly a Riley.

The build quality is great! I sent Mike a photo of a leather hatband that Rick @humanshoes made for another customer and asked Mike to make me something close. I did ask Mike for a more vintage type of felt and when he placed the order with Winchester he passed on my request. As expected, and as Mike had warned, it’s nothing at all like vintage western felt. Winchester makes good felt, but it’s not like vintage.

The completion took a couple months longer than expected, but for 2020 that’s pretty impressive. Thanks again, Mike!

What is the brim width?

Just arrived.
5 3/4" open crown (4 1/2" as bashed).
Barely under 1 3/4" dark gray ribbon.
Matching binding and accent stitches on the 2 3/4" brim.

Everybody needs at least one purple hat!
