Good lookin' hat too!! I'm very envious of the band since it's in the right color sequence! /two-thumbs-up...!Nice work reshaping the hat! I really like the shape you ended with.
I've been looking for a decent Kolchak hat off and on ever since the series aired, and could only find "not even close enough" types going for a lot more than I was willing to pay. Finally the thought occurred to me that I'd be better off looking for a more modern straw Porkpie and find a close-enough ribbon. No surprise, the hat I chose was Jaxon Hats Raffia Straw Diamond Crown, and a replacement ribbon through Amazon, and here's my Kolchak 2.0:

I really considered that one too but went with the Golden Hill for the size of the brim that appeared in the website image. I wish Village Hat Shop had free returns; then I'd be more apt to get them all and compare in person.
Cheers!
