@40Cal / Robert -- you should trademark that crease! (Nick Fouquet probably has a lawyer he could refer you to)

Awesome looking hat. What model Borsalino is it? Is it modern or vintage?

Thanks sir. I was working to maintain a 30's vibe with this vintage fedora. The steep, taller crown compliment the wider ribbon I think. A moderate pinch allows the midnight blue to work it's magic in showing the different shades of blue in its felt.

An example of letting the hat determine what she wants for a crease. My Borsalino Gorascu "Angora" in Misto Grigio has this idea for a crease. The tight pinch is to my liking, but the attempts at a wide, sharp diamond have been all but thwarted by this hat. I let her do what she wants, kind of like a wife...
It looks good to me,Mike.
WHOA..!!!! Bad to the bone !!!!...lol.... Wonderful lid Eric !!!!!A Gannon (natural beaver and sand trimmings) in the wild.

Since we're discussing re-creases (sort of), last week I re-creased my Taupe Fawn Campdraft. I was looking at it from the side, and decided I didn't like it's squared-off appearance. "Before" photos on the left, "after" on the right.
I didn't start out with the intent of giving it a Diamond crease because I've already done that to my three Fed IVs, but that's the shape the hat wanted so I went with it. I was trying to duplicate the first photos which were taken a little over four years ago, but the angle makes the crown appear more tapered from the front than it actually is; from a slightly higher angle, you can see it's only slightly tapered:
Not a huge difference, but I'm happy with it. I do wish I'd noticed the ribbon had shifted before I took the photos...
