Hooray! That was sooner than expected, Max. The colour is great and that looks to be a lovely felt. Give it a try first with the felt ribbon; makes it look very different from other hats.

Thank you, Stefan! I was starting to feel discouraged. I searched Etsy for one three or four times a day, but I think I might have lost it if John hadn't PMd me about it.
I will give it a try. It looks very nice as it is.

Oh? It makes it special, huh? If you say so, it must be true, Alan. Could you please elaborate a little?

Our temptation is to reach for the same thing over and over... because of a perception that we look best in a certain style, because our sense of taste draws us down a particular path... there are many pulls and pushes. Following the same path can make one's collection saturated with sameness. Though this model is not something I have looked to acquire, nor have I studied the history of the Game Bird, the wider self ribbon in this hat seems less common to me and would be a reason to keep it as is. I like to collect hats that I can wear so virtually everything I have kept is in my size. I am drawn to the look of some hats more than others. That said, I would not change the oddballs into something different for the sake of how I think they look on my head. I'm becoming an old man and nobody is looking at me anymore, anyway.

Just my .02.

Hahaha. I am already there. Sad part is, I no longer care, anyway. [emoji2]
Thanks for the advice.
