That pork pie looks good on you. I think keeping it is the right move.CRH said:It's the same one I've been posting for the last few days - Royal Stetson. The pork pie is going to stay this time!
DOUGLAS said:This turned out to be quite good. The straw is not dry, it was not lacquered and the weave seems be to tight. It also has a great liner and a 2" sweat that is a suede type.

I still need to tweak the shape a bit especially the brim but this is a keeper.
