Peak hat of despair

Due to overwheming demand (cough cough) I'm in the process of designing a peak hat for men.




I'm having some issues with the brim. The first brim is too tiny, so I'm trying a different style, which may also be too tiny and too girly.

I'm making the prototype out of Classic Elite Waterspun. Which is a felted yarn. It's interesting to work with. If I can get the hat to look good, I may give it to my former roommate- he who gave me the yarn...and Big Bertha the knitting machine (he says 'lent', I say 'gave'- it's really a question of semantics) Of course the hat probably won't fit him. Maybe I'll just keep it since the colour actually looks good with my hair.
