-----------------Yes, well there's the rub. Straw hats are easy to find and easy to ckck. The felt ones are the trick--finding the right crown with a shape-wprthy brim in the right color has been difficult. I have had a go at making and covering a buckram hat, but it sis not look quite right.. but maybe as you say, it is time to give it another fo.
