It was a bit of an experiment, and I haven't heard back from him about whether it's the right amount of flare or not.
It's just right, I think. I really need to wear it all day to find out for sure, I suppose. But the weather, and deer hunting for a week is making that impossible for the moment. If it were any higher rise, it would not be enough flare, but with the 2-1/2" rise, it works out fine.

My wife thinks it looks good, so I think it is spot on.
