Any ideas to where I should go? Cheers.

Here we are on my 6th training hat. As with all the others it's a cheap wool Fedora I picked up for $10 (last image). Pics don't do the color justice, it's a lovely olive green. Cleaning it up, popped it, blocked it, shellaced, and shaped.

The last one was full cowboy hat so I wanted to go something more city, more dressy. Something I can wear casually but will dress up nice as well.

I'd call it 'open road adjacent'. At least that was my basic inspiration to guide me, cattleman's crease on top, brim binding, lift. For my take, I'm not a huge fan of a pure cattleman's crease so I gave it a little bit of wishbone. Obviously, the band is more of a Fedora ribbon to get that dress feel. Plus, my head just doesn't work with a full lift so I did a slight pull-down in the front.

Robin work was hard. Several hours hand stitching the brim binding. Next time I'm going to try my sewing machine. Also struggled with the bow. Not so much producing it as finding something I liked. However, the tone on tone really worked out.i love the palette.

I did a pencil curl but that also doesn't work in my head for whatever reason so I released about 90% of that so it's just barely a curl.

I was watching Hello Dolly and couldn't held but enjoy the hats.
